Thus, when the structural conduit is placed in a state of tension, the wedge shaped protrusion acts to increase the outside diameter of the slotted tubular member so as to increase {HEAD ~ the compression} of {TAIL ~ the slotted tubular member} with respect to the inside surface of the structural conduit
