Abstract:
A building system comprising a plurality of individual building elements and connecting elements, each of said building elements having an upper and a lower surface which are substantially parallel to each other and having at least one opening extending from the upper surface to the lower surface, each of said building elements being adapted for alignment with respect to an opening in another building element, each of said connecting elements being dimensioned to fit within and extend through an opening in a building element, each of said connecting elements interconnecting a pair of associated building elements and a deformation member, said deformation member being positioned between a lower surface of a first building element and a connecting element of a second building element, said deformation member being deformable by a predetermined force to induce a stress in said connecting element of said first building element such that each of said first building elements is pressed with a second predetermined force to a second building element.
