Zusammenfassung:This disclosure relates to a composite structural member comprising a body part and multiple rigid strips which are attached to and separated by the body part. The body part is formed by a core having substantially flat parallel sides and opposed edges, and the opposed edges are covered by the rigid strips. As an example, the core is made of gypsum, and the strips are made of sheet metal. The rigid strips enable screw fasteners to be secured to the structural member. The sides of the core are preferably covered by side sheets.
