An arrangement comprising: a load transfer device for connecting at least first and second concrete elements (202,204); first and second concrete elements (202,204), said first concrete element having a first surface closest to said second concrete element; said second concrete element having a first surface closest to said first concrete element; wherein the load transfer device comprises: a first load transfer member having a first concrete engaging portion and a second concrete engaging portion, said first load transfer member only in contact with said first and second concrete elements (202,204) at said first and second concrete engaging portions respectively; a second load transfer member having a first concrete engaging portion and a second concrete engaging portion, said second load transfer member only in contact with said first and second concrete elements (202,204) at said first and second concrete engaging portions respectively; wherein said first load transfer member and said second load transfer member each include a longitudinal axis and said longitudinal axes are positioned at an angle of at least twenty degrees to the normal of said first surface of said first concrete element and at an angle of at least twenty degrees to the normal of said first surface of said second concrete element; wherein said first concrete engaging portions of said first and second load transfer members (102,104) are at least partially embedded in said first concrete element in a spaced relationship with one another and said second concrete engaging portions of said first and second load transfer members (102,104) are at least partially embedded in said second concrete element in a spaced relationship with one another; wherein said first and second concrete elements (202,204) are separated by a layer of insulation and wherein said longitudinal axes are positioned at an angle to the normal of the planes at which said first and second concrete elements (202,204) meet said layer of insulation; characterized in that the load transfer device further comprises: a retention housing for connecting said first concrete element to said second concrete element, the retention housing including a first retention member including a first recessed portion corresponding in shape to receive and retain said first load transfer member, the retention housing further including a second retention member that sandwiches said first load transfer member between said first recessed portion and said second retention member, said second retention member including a second recessed portion corresponding in shape to receive and retain said second load transfer member. a load transfer device for connecting at least first and second concrete elements (202,204);
