Abstract: Strut of a tubular wrapping of reinforcing fibers in a synthetic resin on a core, with two rounded tension end caps, the wrapping terminating on the rounded portions thereof, and with respectively one compression cap on an outer peg of each tension end cap and around the rounded section of the wrapping, in which strut the wrapping has longitudinal fibers extended over the rounded portions about pins affixed thereat and oriented obliquely toward the outside, and the core is a fiber-reinforced synthetic-resin pipe respectively attached on an inner peg of the tension peg for the concomitant absorption of the longitudinal compression or the longitudinal compression and longitudinal tension.
