Modular structural panel and assembly comprising such panels for the construction of a building

Abstract

The present invention relates to a modular structural panel intended to form part of an inner or outer wall of a building, the structural panel including two façade panels parallel to each other. Both façade panels are connected by at least one first strut extending along a first direction of the structural panel and by a set of second struts extending along a second direction, perpendicular to the first direction, the second struts protruding from an edge of the structural panel by a distance D and the at least one first strut extending in a recessed manner from the opposed edge of the structural panel by a distance D′ at least equal to the distance D, in order to allow the protruding parts of the adjacent panel in the building to be nested within the intermediary space between this first strut and the close edge of the structural panel.

         10 . The modular structural panel according to  claim 9 , wherein the at least one connecting member is adjustable in length in order to allow the spacing of both façade panels to be adjusted. 
     
     
         11 . The modular structural panel according to  claim 9 , wherein the connecting members are screws with reversed screw pitches allowing, in a same movement, to move both façade panels away from/closer to each other. 
     
     
         12 . The modular structural panel according to  claim 1 , wherein the or each first strut is intended to constitute a vertical upright of the panel in mounting position, and the second struts each constitute a horizontal cross-member in mounting position, each cross-member being constituted by two lateral rods the outer longitudinal faces of which are intended to be applied and attached against the opposite inner faces of the façade members and which comprise, along their inner longitudinal faces, notches allowing the mounting of members of the connecting lug type. 
     
     
         13 . The modular structural panel according to  claim 1 , wherein the façade panels comprise, along their edges, recesses allowing a nesting of the rabbeted type of the panel within an adjacent panel in the building exhibiting a complementary-shaped rabbet. 
     
     
         14 . The modular structural panel according to  claim 1 , wherein the façade panels are constituted by a succession of at least two laths particularly nested within each other by a nesting of the rabbeted type. 
     
     
         15 . The modular structural panel according to  claim 1 , wherein a façade panel intended to be arranged outside in mounting position has an extension oriented downwards in mounting position. 
     
     
         16 . The modular structural panel according to  claim 1 , wherein it encloses an insulating material within at least one inner region therein between the struts. 
     
     
         17 . The modular structural panel according to  claim 1 , wherein the façade panels are made of wood. 
     
     
         18 . The modular structural panel according to  claim 17 , wherein the grain of the wood is arranged in order to be disposed at vertical in the mounting position of the vertical façade panels.
