Abstract:
A linear cold connection, comprising: a first structural component having a first joint face; a second structural component having a second joint face parallel to the first joint face, the joint faces being configured to form an arc of a circular cylinder with a common cylinder axis, the first and second structural components being arranged to abut along the parallel first and second joint faces; bolt-type connections arranged to penetrate the joint faces and fix together the first and second components, the first and second joint faces each having at least one opening through which the bolt-type connections pass, the at least one opening of the second joint face being a slit-shaped opening of a longitudinal undercut groove running parallel to the circular cylinder axis; and internally threaded inserts arranged in the undercut groove, the bolt-type connections being screwed into the inserts to tighten the connection by anchoring the inserts in the undercut groove, both structural respective components being shiftable relative and transverse to the cylinder axis when the bolted connection is loose so as to adjust the components before the bolt-type connections are tightened.
