The panelseach have two substantially parallel platesand a third memberconnecting the two plates. The end portions of the platesof one panelare friction-welded to the end portions of the platesof the other panel. At least one of the panels has a plateat its end for connecting the platesandand has a rigidity to support a pressing force produced during the friction welding.
