Abstract

An element for thermal insulation between two building parts, including an insulating body to be arranged between the two building parts and reinforcement elements in the form of at least tensile elements, extending in the installed state of the element essentially horizontally and perpendicularly to the essentially horizontal extension of the insulating body through said body, and respectively projecting in the horizontal direction from the insulating body and here allowing a connection to one of the two building parts preferably made from concrete. The tensile reinforcement elements are formed as multi-part composite elements such that at least in the area of the insulating body they exhibit a central section projecting from the insulating body and at least partially being made from fiber-reinforced synthetic material. The tensile reinforcement elements have in an area outside the insulating body at least one anchoring section with geometric and/or material characteristics at least partially deviating from the central section, with the anchoring section being connected to the central section in a connection area. The connection area is arranged distanced from the insulating body. The central section is made from a cylindrical rod-shaped and/or tubular material and is provided on its radial exterior, at least in an area between the insulating body and the connection area, with an essentially smooth wall.
