DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
FIELD OF THE INVENTION AND PRIOR ART
The present invention relates to a building structure comprising interconnectable structural building elements, said structural building elements comprising, for the interconnection, female and male edge portions for engagement with the adjacent structural building elements.
Building structures of the aforementioned type are already well known in the field of building structural engineering. However, these known building structures have a lot of disadvantages such as the creation of thermal bridges between the inner side and the outer side of the building structure, especially in corner and edge regions of the building structure, and the non-obtaining of flat and even surface layers of the building structure in the transitions between the structural building elements.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The object of the present invention is to provide a building structure having a substantially continuous insulating layer formed between two rigid surface layers in order to avoid thermal bridges.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a strong and resistant building structure having flat and even transitions between structural building elements.
According to the present invention these objects are obtained by the fact that the structural building elements are formed by two rigid surface layers and a continuous insulating layer located therebetween, that the male edge portions are formed by the continuous insulating layers and by the two rigid surface layers, each of which comprise a step on the surfaces turned away from the insulating layer in the transition between the male edge portions and the other portions of the structural building elements, and that the female edge portions are formed solely by the two rigid surface layers, which are so adapted that they lie closely adjacent to the steps and that their surfaces turned away from the insulating layer form flat surfaces in the transitions between adjacent structural building elements, said continuous insulating layer in a structural building element being directly adjacent to the continuous insulating layer in an adjacent structural building element, so that a substantially continuous insulating layer is formed in the building structure.
In this way, the present invention achieves the advantage that the building structure gets comparatively strong with even, flat transitions, between the structural building elements and get a substantially continuous insulating layer which is the only thing that interconnect the rigid surface layers.
Further objects and advantages will appear from the appended dependent claims.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The invention will now be described by means of an example of an embodiment with reference made to the enclosed drawings, on which:
FIG. 1 is a partial perspective view of a corner of the building structure according to the invention in a not assembled state.
FIG. 2 is a view similar to the one in FIG. 1, but in an assembled state.
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the corner structural building element shown in FIG. 1 and 2.
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of one of the three edge structural elements in FIG. 1 and 2 cut-off transversally to its longitudinal direction.
FIG. 5 is a view of a second embodiment of the building structure according to the invention from the opposite direction with respect to the view in FIG. 1.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION
In the FIGS. 1-4 a preferred embodiment of the building structure according to the invention is shown. The building structure comprises structural building elements 1, 2, 3 being interconnectable by means of female and male edge portions 4, 5 on the structural building elements 1, 2, 3 in question.
The structural building elements 1, 2, 3 are formed by two rigid surface layers 6, 7 and a continuous insulating layer 8 located therebetween.
The male edge portions 4 of the structural building elements 1, 2, 3 are formed by the continuous insulating layer 8, which has a smaller thickness i
