Abstract:
1. A casted concrete structure containing at least one casted and cured concrete re-entrant corner having embedded therewithin a re-entrant corner crack inhibiting device for inhibiting the development of stress fracturing about the casted and cured concrete re-entrant corner, said device comprising a re-entrant corner brace having two legs cornering onto the casted and cured concrete re-entrant corner, a radial arm radially extending inwardly from said re-entrant corner brace onto an arcuate fracture intercepting plate supportively bridging between the two legs of the re-entrant corner brace to provide a radially bracing thereof, with said arcuate fracture intercepting plate being sized and positioned in a transverse relationship to said radial arm so as to intercept and retard the development of stress fractures about the casted concrete re-entrant corner.
