ABSTRACT:
A system for connecting a row of concrete marine floats to each other by fastening elongated wales along the upper side edges thereof. Post-tensioned tendons having fastening members mounted on their ends extend transversely through the float. The tendons are relatively thin so that their elongation responsive to tensioning is sufficient to maintain the force of the wales against the float as the wales shrink. However, the tendons, being relatively thin, do not have sufficient strength to withstand the shear forces generated between the float and wales. Consequently, rigid shear-reinforcing sleeves, preferably surrounding the tendons, project from the float into the wales. The tendons may be either rigid rods having threaded ends or flexible wire cables having an anchor mounted at each end.
