A sealed and thermally insulating tank incorporated into a load-bearing structure, in which a tank wall comprises: a load-bearing wall (1), a secondary thermal insulation barrier (2), consisting of a plurality of secondary insulating elements (6), a primary thermal insulation barrier (4) consisting of a plurality of primary insulating elements (7) and a sealing barrier, each primary and secondary insulating element comprising: an insulating lining (35) and a plurality of load-bearing elements (40, 28, 37) passing through the insulating lining, a panel (17, 34) parallel to the tank wall arranged at one end of the load-bearing elements of the insulating element, in which a panel of the primary or secondary insulating element is arranged between the primary and secondary load-bearing elements, at least one primary load-bearing element (28, 40) of the plurality of primary load-bearing elements being spaced apart from the underlying load-bearing elements (37), in a projection view in a plane parallel to the tank wall.
