Abstract
Structural member for a reinforced stud wall including a tie rod. A horizontal longitudinal hollow bearing member having a horizontal longitudinal axis and horizontal and parallel top and bottom walls extending along the horizontal longitudinal axis. The top and bottom walls are configured to support a downward compression force transverse to the top wall from the tie rod when the tie rod is attached to the top wall. First and second web flanges connect the top and bottom walls to form first and second “I”-shaped cross-sections joined together side-by-side, the web flanges extending along the longitudinal axis of the hollow bearing member. The web flanges are configured to transfer downward compression force on the top wall to the bottom wall. Opening through the top and bottom walls allows the tie rod to extend vertically therethrough, the opening being confined within a space between vertical portions of the web flanges.
