Abstract
Disclosed herein is a structural member comprising an elongated hollow thin metal shell and a filler moulded into the hollow thin metal shell. A reinforcing end piece is engaged with an end portion of the shell and is embedded in the filler in order to prevent the end portion of the shell from deforming in the process of injecting the filler into the shell and to prevent the end portions of the structural member from rupturing or breaking during transportation or construction thereof. In addition, the reinforcing end piece includes an inner wall in contact with an inner surface of the end portion of the shell, an outer wall spaced from the inner wall and in contact with an outer surface of the end portion, and a recessed portion provided between the inner and the outer walls for receiving the end portion of the shell.
