7. Other technical aspects and calculations for structural thermal breaks
A structural thermal break is a structural and insulating element. It is designed to treat linear thermal bridges in buildings insulated from the inside or outside, but also to transmit the stresses acting in the area where it creates a mechanical break.
7.1 Other technical features of thermal bridge breakers
A thermal break consists of an insulating block made of Neopor, polystyrene or other insulating materials that block heat loss.
In addition, to ensure the structural support of the treated elements, reinforcement, bolts or threaded rods pass through the insulation in the tensioned zones, and steel or HTE-type concrete compression modules in the compressed zones. Steels designed to absorb shear forces pass through the insulation at...
