The invention comprises reinforced composite structural members which are formed by bonding reinforcing sections to predetermined areas on the outside surface of a hollow profile formed from a thermoplastic resin cellulosic fiber composite material, where the predetermined areas are located substantially away from the center of mass of the composite profile. The reinforcing sections have a higher modulus than the composite material used to form the hollow profile. The invention also comprises processes for forming these reinforced composite structural members.
