Abstract

A construction element for heat insulation between two construction parts, in particular between a building part and a protruding exterior part, is provided, and includes an insulating body (2) to be arranged between the two construction parts with reinforcement elements (4, 5, 6) that can cross it and that can be connected to the two construction parts, with at least shear force rods (6) being provided as reinforcement elements. The construction element is here adjusted for the installation in passively energy conserving houses such that the insulating body is provided with a protrusion (3), which includes open recesses (7) for the upper exit sections (6f) of the shear force rods (6) that extend out of the insulating body, and extend in the direction of the supporting building part to the area of the horizontally protruding shear force rod sections (6a) so that it laterally overlaps the bent shear force rod sections (6d) in their entirety.

Claims

1. A construction element for heat insulation between two construction parts, comprising an insulating body (2) to be arranged between the two construction parts which includes reinforcement elements (4, 5, 6) that are adapted to cross between and be connected to the two construction parts, with at least shear force rods (6) being provided as reinforcement elements, which extend in a generally sloped manner inside the insulating body in vertical planes located parallel in reference to one another, and which are bent for connecting to the two construction parts at an upper section (6a) thereof adapted for connection to a supporting construction part and a lower section (6c) thereof adapted for connection to a supported construction part such that the upper and lower sections protrude horizontally from the insulating body at different heights in the vertical planes, the construction element (1) is adjusted for installation in energy conserving houses in that the insulating body (2) is provided with a protrusion (3) on a side facing the supporting construction part, the protrusion includes open recesses (7) at exit areas (6f) of the upper section (6a) of the shear force rods (6) extending from the insulation body, and the protrusion (3) extends in a direction of the supporting construction part to a region of the horizontally protruding shear force rod sections (6a), so that the bent shear force rod sections (6d) are entirely laterally overlapped by the protrusions.

2. A construction element according to claim 1, wherein the protrusion (3) has a generally cubic form adjusted to the insulating body (2) with the same height and the same longitudinal extension.

3. A construction element according to claim 1, wherein the recesses (7) have an approximately partial cylindrical section-shaped form with an approximately rectangular horizontal cross-section in an area of the shear force rods.

4. A construction element according to claim 1, wherein the insulating body (2), together with the protrusion (3) has a thickness (D) equivalent to at least a height of the insulating body (2) so that a generally square vertical cross-section of the insulating body results, with the protrusion being parallel to the vertical planes of the shear force rods (6).

5. A construction element according to claim 1, wherein the insulating body (2) together with the protrusion (3) has a total thickness (D) of at least 15 cm.

6. A construction element according to claim 1, wherein the recesses (7) are filled with concrete so that the concrete surrounds the bent shear force rod sections (6d).

7. A construction element according to claim 6, wherein the concrete is high-performance concrete and/or is filled into the recesses (7) prior to the installation of the construction element (1) at the two construction parts.

8. A construction element according to claim 6, wherein the recesses (7) left free by the protrusion (3) are filled by the concrete of the adjacent concrete construction part.

9. A construction element according to claim 1, further including the supporting construction part comprising a building part connected to the upper section of the shear force rod and the supported construction part comprising a protruding exterior part connected to the lower section of the shear force rod.
