Abstract

Structural element for heat-insulating purposes between two structural parts, in particular between a building (A) and a projecting exterior part (B), formed of an insulating body (16), which is to be arranged between the two structural parts, and of reinforcing elements in the form of at least load-bearing elements (19a, 19b) which, with the structural element (10) in the installed state, run through the insulating body substantially horizontally and transversely to the substantially horizontal longitudinal extent of the insulating body, and can be connected at least indirectly to each of the two structural parts, wherein the load-bearing element is formed in more than one part and has at least one load-bearing web (19a, 19b) and a separate compressive-force-distributing element (20a, 20b) on at least one of its end sides (22a, 22b, 22c, 22d) directed towards the one of the two structural parts, and the compressive-force-distributing element (20a, 20b) is produced from a material which has a level of thermal conductivity λ which is lower than 2.0 W/mK.

Claims

1. A structural element for thermal insulation between two structural parts, comprising an insulating body, which is to be arranged between the two structural parts, and reinforcing elements in the form of at least one load-bearing element which, with the structural element in the installed state, runs through the insulating body substantially horizontally and transversely to a substantially horizontal longitudinal extent of said insulating body, and is connectable at least indirectly to and carries a compressive load between each of the two structural parts, the load-bearing element comprises at least one load-bearing web having two end sides, each of the end sides having a contact profile which faces a respective one of the structural parts and is concavely or convexly curved in at least one of a vertical section or a horizontal section, and a separate compressive-force-distributing element at each of the two end sides facing one of the two structural parts, the compressive-force-distributing element including a convexly or concavely curved force-introduction face oppositely adapted in shape to the contact profile in at least one of a vertical section or a horizontal section that receives the contact profile and being produced from a material which has a thermal conductivity λ

which is lower than 2.0 W/mK, the load-bearing element has a position-securing element, and the compressive-force-distributing element is positionable on the load-bearing web via the position-securing element, and the position-securing element forms a sliding layer between the load-bearing web and the compressive force distributing element.

2. The structural element for thermal insulation as claimed in claim 1, wherein the material of the compressive-force-distributing element has a thermal conductivity λ

which is lower than 1.6 W/mK.

3. The structural element as claimed in claim 1, wherein at least one of the compressive-force-distributing element or the load-bearing web is formed of at least one of a curing or settable filling material.

4. The structural element as claimed in claim 3, wherein the filling material comprises a cement-containing, fiber-reinforced building material, high-strength or ultra-high-strength concrete, high-strength or ultra-high-strength mortar, a synthetic resin mixture, or a reaction resin.

5. The structural element as claimed in claim 1, wherein the position-securing element comprises at least partially a mold, and the filling material for producing at least one of the load-bearing web or the compressive-force-distributing element is introducible into the mold.

6. The structural element as claimed in claim 1, wherein the load-bearing web and the compressive-force-distributing element are articulatedly connected to one another via the interposition of the position-securing element.

7. The structural element as claimed in claim 1, wherein the compressive-force-distributing element projects into a respective one of the structural parts at least with the end face facing away from the load-bearing web and has a surface with a friction coefficient increased by a profiling or roughening.

8. The structural element as claimed in claim 1, wherein the compressive-force-distributing element projects at least partially with respect to the insulating body in a direction of a respective one of the structural parts and is adapted to project at least partially into the respective structural part.

9. The structural element as claimed in claim 1, wherein the load-bearing web terminates by the end side at least approximately flush with the insulating body side face.

10. The structural element as claimed in claim 1, wherein the position-securing element is formed of plastic.

11. The structural element as claimed in claim 1, wherein the position-securing element assigned to the two mutually opposite end sides of the load-bearing web are connected to one another via a connecting element.

12. The structural element as claimed in claim 1, wherein two of the horizontally adjacent load-bearing webs have a common one of the compressive-force-distributing elements or of the position-securing elements.
