1. A building element comprising:
- (a) a continuous phase of cementitious material including;
1. a matrix having a first density, and2. at least one zone dispersed within the matrix having a second density lower than the first density, wherein said continuous phase of cementitious material extends throughout said matrix and said lower density zone, wherein said matrix includes a porous structure throughout, said porous structure being produced by the incorporation of a chemical agent within said matrix, and wherein said lower density zone includes a synthetic resin binder for adhesion of said lower density zone to said matrix; and
wherein(b) the matrix includes a first wall section and a generally parallel and opposing second wall section, said first wall section having at least one first lateral section extending away therefrom at least half the distance between said first and second wall sections but terminating short of said opposing second wall section at a lower density zone disposed between the terminal end of the lateral section and the second wall section, and said second wall section having at least one second lateral section, spaced longitudinally from said first lateral section, extending away therefrom at least half the distance between said first and second wall sections but terminating short of said opposing first wall section at a lower density zone disposed between the terminal end of the lateral section and the first wall section.

Abstract
The invention described herein concerns a structured building element in the form of a panel, a block or a similar configuration with a continuous binder material part including a matrix connected with it and comprising a density of the first order together with a plurality of zones distributed within the matrix, wherein the zones possess a density of the second order different from the density of the first order. Reinforcing elements may be embedded in parts of the interconnected matrix in order to provide additional stability for the structural element.

27. A wall assembly comprising a plurality of longitudinally abutting building elements, wherein each building element comprises:
-
(a) a continuous phase of cementitious material including 1. A matrix having a first density, and 2. at least one zone dispersed within the matrix having a second density lower than the first density, wherein said continuous phase of cementitious material extends throughout said matrix and said lower density zone, wherein said matrix includes a porous structure throughout, said porous structure being produced by the incorporation of a chemical agent within said matrix, and wherein said lower density zone includes a synthetic resin binder for adhesion of said lower density zone to said matrix; and
wherein(b) the matrix includes a first wall section and a generally parallel and opposing second wall section, said first wall section having at least one first lateral section extending away therefrom at least half the distance between said first and second wall sections but terminating short of said opposing second wall section at a lower density zone disposed between the terminal end of the lateral section and the second wall section, and said second wall section having at least one second lateral section, spaced longitudinally from said first lateral section, extending away therefrom at least half the distance between said first and second wall sections but terminating short of said opposing first wall section at a lower density zone disposed between the terminal end of the lateral section and the first wall section. - View Dependent Claims (28)
