Load support drum with resilient core member

A load bearing support comprising:

• at least two cylindrical drums, each drum comprising a top portion, a bottom portion, a tapered cylindrical sidewall extending between said top portion and said bottom portion, at least one core member extending between the top portion and the bottom portion, and a load-bearing material disposed between the sidewall and the core member;
• an opening extending through the top portion of the cylindrical drum for receiving the load-bearing material therethrough;
• and each of the top portions and the bottom portions comprising a reinforcing member;
• the at least one core member comprising a lateral transfer zone defined at one or more points along a vertical axis of the core member, the lateral transfer zone arranged to distribute a portion of an axial load on the drum to the cylindrical sidewall, the cylindrical sidewall providing a radial expansion area for compression of the at least one core member and the load-bearing material.
