ABSTRACT:
Structures with inter-connecting members such as shores, struts, braces and the like which are subject to compression and/or tension stresses can be erected even when the foundation strata do not exactly meet anticipated levels, or when differential settlements occur at base points after loads are applied. At least one of the structural members is in the form of a first elongate section having a hollow mating end, and a second elongate section including a hollow bell-shaped end. The mating end of the first section is slidably received in the bell-shaped end of the second section, and the first and second sections are allowed to slide axially of one another at least during erection of the structure. At a desired time after erection, relative sliding movement between the first and second sections is prevented, thus fixing the length of the structural member.
