High strength composite wall connectors having a tapered edge

摘要

Connectors configured for providing composite wall structures with high composite action. The connectors comprise a body having two sidewalls and a web portion extending therebetween. The body also includes a tapered end at one side for facilitating penetration of the connector through layers of the composite wall during manufacture. Orienting means orient the connector at a predetermined depth within the layers of the composite wall during manufacture. Anchoring means anchor the connectors of the invention to layers of structural material placed on opposing sides of an insulation layer of the composite wall.
