Abstract
A lightweight structural reinforcement spans a space in a structural member. The reinforcement functions as a web and has a metal plate, a layer of foam and a thin, metal reinforcement selectively positioned at the mid-portion of the reinforcement. Unexpanded foam at the end portions of the plate serve as a n adhesive to bond the reinforcement to the structural member being reinforced.
