Straw bales (4) are used in conjunction with a skeletal framework (16, 52 or 82) to form various structurally stable building components such as walls and floors. Straw bales (4) and horizontal trussing members (6, 18 or 60) are combined to form a truss (8). The truss (8) has a pair of trussing members (6, 18 or 60) operatively connected to one or more bales (4). The trussing members (6, 18 or 60), which are positioned opposite one another along the edges of the bale (4), form the chords of the truss (8). The bales (4) form the web of the truss (8). The trussing members (6, 18 or 60) are one of the basic components of the skeletal framework (16, 52 or 82) used to construct the various composite structures embodying the invention. In the composite structures, straw bales (4) are arranged in layers within a skeletal framework (16, 52 or 82). The skeletal framework (16, 52 or 82) includes the trussing members (6, 18 or 60) and a series of rods (20 or 54) positioned along the center line of the layered bales (4). The trussing members (6, 18 or 60) in each pair are positioned opposite one another along the edges of the bales (4) at the interfaces (24 or 62) between the layers of bales (4). Each trussing member (6, 18 or 60) is operatively connected to the bales (4) to form a truss (8).
