Claim:
1. A structural assembly for use in constructing a building structure, the assembly comprising: a first face sheet; a second face sheet, wherein the second face sheet is substantially parallel to the first face sheet; a first internal support connected to and extending inwardly from the first face sheet; a second internal support connected to and extending inwardly from the second face sheet; each of the first internal support and the second internal support extending toward an opposing face sheet; each of the first internal support and the second internal support comprising a first end and a second end and a predetermined length therebetween, the first ends provided proximal the first and second face sheets, respectively, and the second ends provided proximal to each other; wherein each of the first and second internal supports comprise a plurality of angled panels extending at an angle of between approximately 20 and 60 degrees from the first and second internal supports; wherein the second ends each of the first and second support members comprise an impact panel, wherein the impact panel of the first support member is provided at a right angle to at least a portion of the first support member and the impact panel of the second support member is provided at a right angle to at least a portion of the second support member; wherein the first internal support member and the second internal support member are provided in a spaced apart manner in a first position of use, the first position of use corresponding to a position wherein the assembly has not been deformed, and wherein the first internal support member and the second internal support member are provided in force transmitting communication with each other when at least one of the first and second face sheets are impacted by a force; and wherein at least one of the plurality of angled panels of the first support member is operable to contact the impact panel of the second support member when the structural assembly is deformed.
