Abstract

L'invention concerne un élément structurel léger (10, 24) permettant de supporter des charges. Cet élément présente des extrémités opposées (22), et une partie centrale (12) avec une première surface s'étendant entre les extrémités opposées. Cette partie centrale comprend des couches de placage alternées (18) et des couches de polymère (20), et les couches de placage comprennent chacune au moins une feuille de placage. En outre, une première face de bois de placage (14 and 16) est collée au moins à une partie importante de la première surface de la partie centrale. L'élément peut comprendre une deuxième surface s'étendant entre les extrémités opposées, avec une deuxième face de bois de placage laminée collée au moins à une partie importante de la deuxième surface de la partie centrale.
