ABSTRACT:
A structural I-beam formed of upper and lower surfaces with a means connecting the upper surface to the lower surface. The beam has a plurality of structural elements placed along the upper as well as lower surface. Each of the structural elements themselves having both compressive and tensile structural elements formed as a unit adjacent one to the other. The compressive structural element of the structural element serving to dampen any compressive forces acting on the upper surface of the beam while the tensile structural element of the structural element serving to dampen any tensile forces acting on the lower surface of the beam. The structural elements having a first enclosure forming the compressive structural element with a first non-compressible material disposed within the first enclosure. The structural elements having a second enclosure forming the tensile structural element with a second non-compressible material disposed within the second enclosure. The walls of the structural elements are configured for optimum rigidity or optimum damping.
