Abstract:
A building structure formed from modular building elements, wherein the building structure includes:first modular building elements having prefabricated protrusions of a same material as a remainder of said first modular building elements, said prefabricated protrusions for interconnection with at least one socket beam; and second modular building elements; and socket beams each having a substantially upside down U-shaped profile, at least one hole and a slot or recess for receiving respective ones of said prefabricated protrusions of said first modular building elements, said at least one hole being laterally centered in said socket beams and said slot or recess being located longitudinally under an upper surface of said respective one of said socket beams, whereby a each of said socket beams forms an interconnection with at least one of said first modular building elements and at least one of said second modular building elements, such that, a one of said socket beams, at least one of said first modular building elements and at least one of said second modular building elements form a configuration unit, the configuration unit for engaging or abutting adjacent configuration units in a side by side fashion such that adjacent ones of the second modular building elements define a substantially planar surface, and whereby each of said first modular building elements abuts adjacent ones of said first modular building elements, each of said second modular building elements abuts adjacent ones of said second modular building elements and each of said socket beams abuts adjacent ones of said socket beams.
