Abstract:
A building structure comprising at least two adjacent hollow building elements connected side-by-side, the hollow building elements comprising a plurality of longitudinal ducts and upper and lower coupling members at opposite sides of each said building element, and a reinforcing beam slidable between so as to be thus connected to said two adjacent building elements, in a coupling area between said two adjacent building elements, the reinforcing beam being a hollow beam and having a base formed with a longitudinal slot, the lower coupling elements being different at opposite sides of each building element of said two adjacent building elements and being complementary to fit together, the lower coupling members being held together in the slot of the reinforcing beam, and each said building element having at one side an integral cap that extends over the coupling area between said same building element and an adjacent said building element, the integral cap constituting means for holding said same building element and the adjacent said building element together while the longitudinal beam slidable therebetween is slid therebetween.
