Abstract
A system and method of manufacturing a synthetic construction element that replaces wood lumber. A synthetic composition is provided containing cementitious material, aggregate, fibers, and low-density particulate material. The density of the synthetic composition is controlled by varying the volume of the low-density particulate material in the mix. Reinforcement elements are provided. The reinforcement elements are positioned within the synthetic construction element and are stressed in tension. The reinforcement elements and the shape of the synthetic construction element are symmetrically disposed on either side of an imaginary mid-plane and maintain the synthetic construction element in compression.
