<p>A lightweight structural reinforcement (12) spans a space in a structural member (10). The reinforcement (12) functions as a web and has a metal plate (14), a layer of foam (22) and a thin, metal reinforcement (24) selectively positioned at the mid-portion of the reinforcement (12). Unexpanded foam (22) at the end portions (18) of the plate (14) serve as an adhesive to bond the reinforcement (12) to the structural member (10) being reinforced.</p> |
