Abstract: A connecting assembly for the force-transmitting attachment of a first force-absorbing structural part to a second force-absorbing structural part includes tensile force-transmitters, shearing force-transmitters and compressive force-transmitters. The compressive force-transmitters include at least one compression element with a rod-like section. The rod-like section is provided for arrangement in a joint between the structural parts. The rod-like section is made from a metallic material. The rod-like section has a flow section with a constant cross-sectional area which is reduced compared with the rod-like section. A structure includes a connecting assembly.

Abstract: A device for thermally insulating, force-transmitting retrofitting of a second load-bearing construction element to a first load-bearing construction element has an insulation body to be arranged in a construction joint between the construction elements. The insulation body has a casing filled with insulation material. The casing has a first longitudinal side to be arranged at the first construction element and an oppositely positioned second longitudinal side. The casing has a length direction, a transverse direction, and an upright direction perpendicular to length direction and transverse direction. A compression element for transmitting compressive forces between first and second construction elements extends from the first to the second longitudinal side. First tension rods project into the casing at the first longitudinal side and second tension rods project into the casing at the second longitudinal side.

Abstract: A device for retrofitting a second load-bearing construction element to a first load-bearing construction element has an insulation body arranged between the construction elements. Tensile force-transmitting, compressive force-transmitting, and shear force-transmitting elements are provided. The compressive force-transmitting elements include a contact surface, accessible from a longitudinal side of the insulation body, for absorbing horizontal compressive forces of the second load-bearing construction element. The shear force transmitting elements include a support surface, accessible from the longitudinal side of the insulation body, for absorbing vertically oriented forces of the second load-bearing construction element and further include a shear rod connected to the support surface. A support angle bracket has first and second legs and a transversely arranged cheek connecting the first and second legs. The first leg forms the contact surface. The second leg forms the support surface.

Abstract: A thermally insulating construction element for use in a separating joint between load-absorbing parts of a building, in particular between an intermediate floor and a balcony slab, has an insulating body. The insulating body has mutually opposite longitudinal sides which extend in a longitudinal direction. The insulating body has compression shear bearings which are designed to take up horizontal forces and vertical forces. The compression shear bearings protrude through the insulating body in a transverse direction and project beyond the insulating body on both longitudinal sides of the insulating body. The compression shear bearings are spaced apart from one another with respect to the longitudinal direction of the insulating body. In order to allow good adaptation to forces to be taken up, the insulating body includes at least one compression bearing designed exclusively to take up horizontal forces and extends in the transverse direction of the insulating body.
