The present invention provides an improved composite material structure
having large portions of additive material aligned over a substantial
width of a material structure and occupying a larger percentage of the
structure volume. The material structure includes a resilient substrate
layer or conventional decking having a plurality of elongated rods
arranged on a surface of the substrate layer to form at least one rod
layer. The spaces between rods are filled with a slurry material which is
allowed to set causing the component elements to bond together to form a
lightweight durable and high strength composite material structure.
