Structure and method for interconnecting construction units made from composite materials

A structure of interconnecting composite material construction units, the structure having an approximately uniform planar surface comprising:

• a first composite material construction unit having a surface defining a notch, said notch having an upper and lower surface;
• a second composite material construction unit having a surface defining a notch, said notch having an upper and lower surface, the second composite material construction unit surface juxtaposed to the surface of the first construction unit;
• and
• an elastic joint segment capable of being anchored to a support system, said joint segment having two substantially opposing edges, a first edge and a second edge, the edges each having gripping means, the first edge received within the first composite material construction unit notch and the first edge gripping means contacting the lower surface of the first composite material construction unit notch, the second edge received within the second composite material construction unit notch and the second edge gripping means contacting the lower surface of the second composite material construction unit notch, wherein the elastic joint segment deforms within the first composite material construction unit notch and the second composite material construction unit notch upon anchoring of the joint segment to a support system so that contact occurs between the first edge of the joint segment and the upper and lower surfaces of the first composite material construction unit notch and between the second edge of the joint segment and the upper and lower surfaces of the second composite material construction unit notch.

A method of interconnecting composite material construction units having an approximately uniform planar surface comprising:

• providing a first composite material construction unit having a surface defining a notch, said notch having an upper and lower surface;
• juxtaposing a second composite material construction unit having a surface defining a notch, said notch having an upper and lower surface, to the surface of the first construction unit;
• and
• contacting an elastic joint segment capable of being anchored to a support system, said joint segment having two opposing edges, the edges having gripping means, with the first composite material construction unit and the second composite material construction unit such that the joint segment first edge is received within the first composite material construction unit notch and the first edge gripping means contacts the lower surface of the first composite material construction unit notch, and the second edge is received within the second composite material construction unit notch and the second edge gripping means contacts the lower surface of the second composite material construction unit notch, wherein the elastic joint segment deforms within the first composite material construction unit notch and the second composite material construction unit notch upon anchoring of the joint segment to a support system so that contact occurs between the first edge of the joint segment and the upper and lower surfaces of the first composite material construction unit notch and between the second edge of the joint segment and the upper and lower surfaces of the second composite material construction unit notch.
