Abstract

The subject of the invention is an airtight connection of an element made of a first material with a second element made of a second material, wherein the second material is different than the first material, and the first element comprises a first part, which constitutes a bare end, extending from the second part, and the second element comprises a socket part on at least one of its ends, characterised in that the second element (B), in the socket part, has an outer flange (C) and an inner flange (D), and the first part (A1) of the first element (A) is connected by means of anchors (GW) with the inner flange (D) of the socket, and the second part (A2) of the first element (A) is connected by means of anchors (GZ) with the outer flange (C), wherein sealing layers (E) are located between the first part (A1) and the outer flange (C) and between the second part (A2) and the inner flange (D). The invention also relates to a method of constructing a shelter using the above connection, a shelter module, and a modular shelter.
