Abstract

The invention relates to building elements and building constructions, and more particularly to building systems which utilize compressed blocks made of a fibrous material in conjunction with a framework in order to form building constructions for buildings and structures. The present building element consists of a block 2 made of a fibrous material, and forming elements which are disposed on the surfaces of the block and consist of a pair of frames 3 interconnected by at least one transverse brace 4 to form a single structure. The building element also comprises a forming mesh 5, which is disposed between the fibrous material block 2 and the frames 3, on top of the transverse braces 4 that connect the frames 3; outer and inner walls 6, which are fastened from the outer sides of the frames 3; and membranes 7, which are disposed between the walls 6 and the frames 3. The outer contour of the frames 3 comprises curvilinear jigsaw-like locking elements. On the ends of the vertical sides of the frames 3 there are provided slots 9 for load-bearing fastening strips 10; and the membranes 7 extend beyond the edge of the outer and inner walls 6. The invention also relates to a building construction consisting of the claimed building elements, wherein the building elements are joined to one another by the outer edges of the frames 3 by means of the curvilinear jigsaw-like locking elements and load-bearing fastening strips 10, and the building elements are arranged in a row and one above the other to form a single spatial construction.

Claims

1. A building element comprising:

a block made of a fibrous material; and

forming elements disposed on the surfaces of the block including;

a pair of frames interconnected by at least one transverse brace to form a single structure,

a forming mesh disposed between the fibrous material block and the frames on top of the at least one transverse brace,

outer and inner walls which are fastened from an outer side of the frames, and

membranes disposed between the walls and the frames;

wherein an outer contour of the frames comprises curvilinear interlockable elements.

2. The building element according to claim 1 wherein each of the pair of frames has slots for load-bearing fastening strips on the ends of vertical sides of said frames.

3. The building element according to claim 1 wherein the membranes extend beyond the edge of the outer and inner walls.

4. The building element according to claim 1 wherein the block has been disinfected with a disinfecting solution or electromagnetic radiation.

5. The building element according to claim 1 wherein the pair of frames interconnected by at least one transverse brace is by means of a fastening system.

6. The building element according to claim 1 wherein the pair of frames interconnected by at least one transverse brace is by means of an interlock system.

7. The building element according to claim 1 wherein the pair of frames interconnected by at least one transverse brace is formed as a single structure by means of pressing, molding, or 3D printing.

8. The building element according to claim 1 wherein the outer and inner walls are spaced apart from the membrane with distance spacers.

9. The building element according to claim 1 wherein the outer and inner walls are formed as double walls which have distance spacers between them.

10. A building construction comprising a plurality of the building elements claimed in claim 1 in spatial construction, wherein the building elements are joined to one another by the outer edges of the frames by means of the curvilinear jigsaw-like locking elements and load-bearing fastening strips, and the building elements are arranged in a row and one above the other to form a single spatial construction.
