Abstract: A composite assembly includes a series of elongated layers joined lengthwise thereof. At least two of the elongated layers each have an upper elongated portion and a lower elongated portion secured together in an end-to-end relationship at a joint therebetween by a connector arrangement. The upper elongated portion is constructed of a wood material, and the lower elongated portion is constructed of a non-wood material. The lower elongated portion may have a reinforcing rod therein.

Abstract: A building support column includes a lower assembly with a connection bracket that includes a bottom plate. A body that includes plastic defines an exterior perimeter about support rods that extend from the bottom plate of the connection bracket. An adjustment leg that includes a threaded portion is movable within a center hole of the body to define a distance between the foot and the bottom plate.

Abstract: A building support column includes a lower assembly with a connection bracket with a bottom plate and first and second connection blades extending away from the bottom plate in a first direction. A body includes plastic and defines an exterior perimeter about a plurality of support rods extending from the bottom plate. A center hole through the body is aligned with a hole through the bottom plate. An upper assembly includes a plurality of elongated layers of wood secured to each other along elongated faces of the layers of wood. The connection bracket secures the upper assembly to the lower assembly with a connection blade extending between the elongated faces of adjacent elongated layers of the supper assembly. A reinforcement plate with a plurality of teeth that extend away from a first side of the plate into a single elongated layer of the plurality of elongated layers.
