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