An articulated concrete joint member (1) including a resilient core (2), the core (2) having connections means (3) attached thereto, the connection means (3) adapted to link two co-planar concrete slabs (5, 6) along an adjacent peripheral edge of each slab, wherein on application of an out-of-plane displacement to one of the co-planar concrete slabs (5, 6) the displacement is transmitted to the other slab through pivoting about the articulated joint member (1). In one embodiment, the articulated concrete joint member (1), which further includes crack propagation means (4), is fully immersed in the concrete slab so that the slab is subjected to extraneous loads, the slab cracks along predetermined lines of weakness (7).

L'invention concerne un élément de liaison articulé en béton (1) qui comprend un noyau résilient (2) auquel est attaché un moyen de raccord (3) adapté pour assembler deux dalles en béton coplanaires (5, 6) le long d'un bord périphérique adjacent de chaque dalle. Un déplacement hors plan d'une des dalles en béton coplanaire est transmis à l'autre dalle par pivotement autour de l'élément de liaison articulé (1). Dans une forme de réalisation, l'élément de liaison en béton (1), qui comprend en outre un moyen de propagation des fissures (4), est entièrement noyé dans la dalle en béton, si bien que la dalle est soumise à des charges extérieures et se fissure le long de lignes de faiblesse (7) préétablies.
