Abstract:
A modular structural system for vehicle and pedestrian bridges, buildings, etc. and more particularly a splice for interconnecting and providing a rigid connection between two sections of hollow tubing, as used in modular structures, wherein variability in span lengths is provided by means of alternate splice locations in the hollow tubing and variability of deck heights is provided by means of an adjusting system, each comprising a plurality of spring-pins (14). The objectives and advantages of the internal safetied spring-pin splice are to provide an effective splice such that the forces imposed upon the hollow tubing from the splice connection are equalized and balanced across the cross-section of the hollow tubing and to provide a simply fabricated splice of minimum parts, thereby reducing manufacturing, assembly and erection costs as well as minimizing the probability of missing parts at the time of assembly.
