<p>A method of forming a composite body comprising a pair of first and second solid bodies and an intermediate body binding the first and second bodies together, said method comprising arranging a spacing member defining the outer surfaces of the intermediate binding body such that a first surface part of the spacing member is in engagement with an adjacent surface of the first body, forming the second body in a deformable condition against and in contact with a second surface part of the spacing member opposite to said first surface part, solidifying said second body, and converting the spacing member into said intermediate binding body while maintaining the first and second bodies in their mutual position. For example, the first body may be a layer of metal, and the secodn body may be a high strength concrete, cast against a spacing member engaging the metal layer and incorporating uncured or inactive binder, prior to curing or activating the binder to convert the spacing member to intermediate binding body.</p> |
