ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method are provided for connecting the edges of two panels of EPS each of which has a groove therein. The apparatus and method contemplate the use of a tensile connector having tongue means and groove means. Means are provided for attaching the tongue means within the groove in one of the panels of EPS and attaching the groove means within the groove of the other panel of EPS. Means are provided for locking the tongue means within the groove means when the grooved edges of the panels are assembled to frame a hollow connection between the panels. The hollow connection filled with concrete to complete the connection between the EPS panels such that tensile forces applied to one of the panels are distributed across the tensile connector to the other panel. The invention is applicable to a plurality of EPS panels for interconnecting the panels to form the walls, ceiling, and roof of a building.
