Pipe section joining member, pipe joint and elongated pipe

A pipe comprising:

• a plurality of pipe sections, each pipe section comprising
• a wall thickness defined between an inner surface and an outer surface and a length defined between opposite end faces, wherein said pipe sections do not have integral connection means at opposite longitudinal ends of the pipe sections for connecting one pipe section to another pipe section, wherein said pipe sections are coupled together in an end-to-end manner along their longitudinal axes with a joining member, said joining member comprising
• a continuous band comprising a fiber reinforced polymer composite having a thickness defined between an inner surface and an outer surface and a width defined between opposite marginal sides and a flange member extending radially outwardly from the outer surface of said continuous band, wherein said outer surface of said continuous band is tapered, and wherein said thickness of said continuous band decreases from said flange toward said opposite marginal sides of said continuous band, wherein said pipe comprises a cementitious pipe, wherein cementitious pipe comprises a cementitious matrix and a reinforcement, wherein said reinforcement comprises a reinforcing fabric at least partially embedded in said cementitious matrix, wherein said reinforcing fabric is selected from an inorganic or organic fiber fabric.
