ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A joining device for use in joining floating elements such as pontoons or the like to form buoying structures, e.g. platforms, bridges, etc. The device comprises elements defining two channel members and a key of "I"-shaped cross-section. The channel members define a slot receiving the web of the "I"-shaped key with the flanges thereof located in the respective channels, the flanges preventing separation of the channel members from each other. Two inclined plates at the base of the key engage two trapezoidal half-wedges to clamp the channel members together against opposite sides of a fastening plate located between the channels and connected to one end of the key. The device is relatively simple and is suitable in use of joining together lateral edges of adjacent pontoons.
