Construction element, a module and a construction comprising such an element and method of assembly of such a construction

Abstract

The invention relates to a construction element for attachment of structural elements. The element comprises an upper plate member and a lower plate member, having a same width and a same length and extending between two end portions, parallel to each other at a first distance. The upper and lower plate members are connected to each other along longitudinal sides of said plate members by means of a plurality of intermediate beams. Each end portion further comprises at least one upper and at least one lower distance element having a width and a height, and being arranged at an upper surface and a lower surface of said end portions respectively. A longitudinally transversal cross section of each end portion forms a cross-shaped circumference, said circumference comprising four right angled abutment surfaces, defined by the plate members and the distance elements. The invention also relates to a module and a construction comprising such a construction element and a method of assembly of such a construction.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The invention relates to a construction element for attachment of structural elements, a construction comprising such a structural element and a method for assembly of such a construction having such a construction element according to the appended claims.BACKGROUND ART[0002]Construction elements and structures which are built using such construction elements are manufactured and used under rigorous rules and classifications as we demand high and reliable quality with regards to structural integrity. This is especially required for all types of structures and buildings which are intended for living quarters and working facilities, as personal safety is of uttermost importance for people spending time in such buildings and for the people and companies who build said buildings. Furthermore, price and cost are of course also important variables for people and / or companies who acquire a building or facility, wherein a general goal for all involved is to make cost ef...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention provides a construction element that can be used in a prefabrication building system and has multiple functions. It is easy to use and produces reliable results. The invention also provides a method for assembling such a construction that is fast, cost-effective, and produces efficient and cheap results. The method uses a predetermined scheme that allows for the arrangement of different construction elements in a unique way that provides advantages over other similar methods.

Problems solved by technology

Different types of units may require special fastening elements to be attached to each other, modifications may be needed to individual units, or other, wherein the amount of work actually needed on-site may be time consuming and costly, even if a large percentage of the completed building already is built off-site.

This is however not without its downsides as each building built with such units are fixed to facility installations in certain places, wherein modification may be costly or material and resources may be wasted.

Specially designed elements of the sort may provide suitable usage for certain applications which may be deemed as adequate for those special circumstances but may thus be non-cost effective if such elements are restricted to a select few special construction applications.

Regular construction elements obtained at a standard supplier of building material and constructional elements may not always have a wide range of usage, forcing a contractor to acquire a large variety of elements and / or components, which may instead be time consuming, expensive and being a cumbersome endeavour.
