A wall structure incorporates load-bearing integrated strut members in inclined back-to-back relation. Pairs of the light strut members, of board, or metal or plastic with profiled sections, have their outer ends joined, being fixed at their centres, to provide a high load-bearing capacity. An eight-strut concertina assembly can replace two studs. The ends of each pair of strut members are fastened together, and secured to the adjoining frame and/or closure panel members; and at their centres are fastened to the adjoining strut members, or secured to the respective abutting frame side member. The strut edges may be glued adjacent their ends to the adjoining partition sheeting. Reinforcement by tension elements, strapping and foamed plastic may be used.
