<p>A connection for connecting elements comprising a first said element (2), at least a second said element (4) for connection to the first element and a fixing means (6,126) extending from one said element through at least an aperture (8) in the other said element. The fixing means has a smaller cross section than that of the aperture where it passes through the aperture, so as to leave a gap (16) in the aperture. A gap filling material (18) is used to fill in the gap. The fixing means may be, for example, a stud (126) fixed to one element with an associated nut (12) or a bolt (6) extending through both elements. The gap filling material (18) may be any setting fluid such as a settable resin or material with a low melting point such as will flow into the gap and set therein such as to resist any precalculated lateral displacement forces between the elements. A closure member (10) is provided having a first hole to receive the fixing means (6,126) and a second hole (22) for injecting the gap filling material into the gap (16), the closure member being such as to cover at least a part of the gap (16). <IMAGE></p> |
