A clamp (12) comprises a plurality of four similar complementing members (12) each presenting an arcuate section by way of its inwardly facing side (16) formed into a hoop force exerting formation (14). The members (12) are securable into their combined hoop force exerting relationship via progressively tightenable securing means as provided by inter-securing formations in the form of opposite end lips (18) on each member (14) through which bores (20) are formed that come into registration with the bores (20) along end lips (18) of adjacent members (12) on end on positioning of the members (12) with respect to one another. Intersecuring of the members (12) is thus achieved by bolting them together by means of bolts and nuts (22), as passing along registering bores (20). |
