Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0959180A1] The anchoring section (3a) is dovetail-shaped or T-shaped and the basic section (3b) is staged on one side and inclined. The contour of the anchoring device is such that the anchoring section and the basic section so fit together that a virtually pure plate slab section can be realised. The basic section in one of its corner areas has a metallic edge profile (1) for welding.
