A structural member of this class basically consists of two spaced shell panels and an intermediate core. The shell panels may be made of metal or concrete or combinations thereof, or of other rigid materials having the required physical properties. The core is a triangulated wire frame composed of a plurality of zig-zag shaped wire trusses having their sets of top and bottom apexes anchored to associated sets of longitudinal and transverse chords and the respective proximate inside faces of the shell panels. The arrangement of the wire trusses is such that, in each group of three adjacent wire trusses, the middle one has its bottom apexes also connected to the bottom apexes of the wire truss located on one side of the middle wire truss and has its top apexes also connected to the top apexes of the wire truss located on the other side of the middle wire truss.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A modular structural member for use as a part of a building structure, comprising:(a) a pair of spaced, parallel shell panels and a core interposed between and secured to said shell panels for retaining the latter in their spaced relationship;(b) each of said shell panels having outside and inside faces which are directed away from each other and of which said outside face provides an exposed finish and texture for said structural member; and(c) said core comprising a triangulated wire frame composed of a plurality of zig-zag shaped wire trusses running alongside one another between two opposite boundary edges of said structural member and extending from one of said boundary edges to the other, each of said zig-zag shaped wire trusses having bottom and top apexes each of which is connected to the respective proximate one of said shell panels at said inside face thereof, and in each group of three adjacent wire trusses, a middle one thereof has its bottom apexes also connected to said bottom apexes of the wire truss located on one side of said middle wire truss and has its top apexes also connected to said top apexes of the wire truss located on the other side of said middle wire truss.
