Abstract
A composite load-bearing structural column utilizable as studding in the exterior walls of wooden frame buildings includes a pair of vertically extending parallel and spaced wooden stud elements. Substantially completely filling the space between the stud elements there is positioned a core of mineral fibre felt having the fibres thereof bonded together with a resinous material. The core is joined adhesively on the respective opposite faces thereof to corresponding abutting faces of the stud elements. The core has a depth at least as great as the combined depths of the stud elements.
