A load transfer structure in which laminated sheets and fiber strands are formed into webs directed to intersect at a common junction and integrated by resin using heat and pressure. The fiber strands are inserted between the laminated sheets by a method of continuously winding such a strand in a repetitive weave pattern around primary spaced supports or mandrels carrying the laminate sheets, and then combining with the wound laminate sheets other laminate sheets supported on secondary mandrels. The mandrels with the sheets and wound fiber strand are cured in a heating and pressure step so that the load transfer structure has its several components integrated into rigid and hard webs directed outwardly from the common zone where the fiber strands cross each other without interruptions.

A cruciform configured load transfer structure comprising: (a) a plurality of first and second laminate components formed into webs angularly divergent from a common junction; (b) carbon fiber strands extending between said webs and intersecting in a common junction where said carbon fiber strands cross over each other; and (c) resin means impregnated in said laminate components and carbon fiber strands for integrating said components and carbon fiber strands into the cruciform configured load transfer structure in which tensile loads on said webs are transferred by said carbon fiber strands through said common junction.
