<p>The element 1 comprises a perimeter edge beam 2 formed from rectangular hollow section (RHS) elongate tube and vertical hollow steel wind posts 3 extending from a horizontal top face 4 at intervals along the surface. The RHS may be a square hollow section and the vertical members may be welded on. The vertical members may be narrower than the horizontal portions they are mounted on but the external faces of a vertical portion may still be flush with the external face 5 of the RHS. Also claimed is a method of constructing a building with the building element. The element may be located within a masonry cavity wall. A floor slab of the building may extend into the cavity so that a concrete infill of the floor abuts the internal faces of the wind posts and around the wind posts. The method may use variable thickness, width blocks which accommodate the wind posts and allow a uniformly flush wall surface.</p> |
