Composite shear walls are widely used in high-rise buildings because of their high bearing capacity. To improve the bearing capacity of ordinary shear walls, restraining elements are usually installed at both boundaries or within the wall body. In this article, two different restraining elements, namely, a rectangular steel tube and a column-type reinforcement (the whole wall body was restrained by segmented stirrups and tied by diagonal bars), were applied to the boundary frame and wall body of the shear wall either jointly or separately. A new type of steel-concrete composite shear wall, referred to as a composite shear wall incorporating a concrete-filled steel tube boundary and column-type reinforced wall, was proposed. In addition, three specimens with different restraining elements, namely, a column-type reinforced shear wall, a concrete-filled steel tube boundary shear wall and an ordinary reinforced concrete shear wall, were presented for comparison. The influences of the two different restraining elements on the seismic performance and bearing capacity of the shear walls were analyzed from four perspectives of failure mode, hysteresis behavior, stiffness and residual deformation, and the equivalent lateral pressures of the two restraining elements were calculated. Based on the plane-section assumption, expressions for the crack, yield, peak and ultimate bearing capacities were derived, and the effects of the two restraining elements on the peak and ultimate bearing capacities were considered. The results show that these two restraining elements significantly improved the bearing capacity of the shear wall specimens, and the concrete-filled steel tube restraining element was more effective than the column-type reinforced restraining element. Finally, the calculated values of the bearing capacity of the four different restraining elements of the shear wall specimens proposed in this article were in good agreement with the experimental values.

This study proposes a new type of shear wall, namely, the concrete-filled steel tube composite shear wall, for high performance seismic force resisting structures. In order to study the seismic behavior of concrete-filled steel tube composite shear wall, cyclic loading tests were conducted on three full-scale specimens. One conventional reinforced concrete shear wall was included in the testing program for comparison purpose. Regarding the seismic performance of the shear walls, the failure mode, deformation capacity, bearing capacity, ductility, hysteretic characteristics, and energy dissipation are key parameters in the analysis procedure. The testing results indicated that the bearing capacity, the ductility, and the energy dissipation of the concrete-filled steel tube composite shear walls are greater than that of conventional reinforced concrete shear walls. In addition, the influence of axial compression ratio on the seismic behavior of concrete-filled steel tube composite shear wall is also investigated. It was found that higher axial compression ratio leads to an increase in the bearing capacity of concrete-filled steel tube composite shear walls while a reduction in the ductility capacity.

Double steel-concrete composite shear wall is a novel composite structure. Due to its good mechanical properties, it has been considered as a substitute for reinforced concrete walls in nuclear facilities, marine environmental structures, and high-rise buildings. However, the design method of the double-steel concrete composite shear wall is lacking. The purpose of this paper is to propose the bending capacity formula under large and small eccentric loads. By summarizing the test results of 49 steel-concrete composite double shear walls under cyclic loading from different studies, it was found that the bending failure of double-steel-concrete composite shear walls was featured by the concrete crushing at the bottom. A finite element model was established and it could simulate the axial and bending performance of double steel-concrete composite shear walls reasonably well. According to the experimental results and FE analysis, the primary assumptions for calculating the axial and bending bearing capacity of the double steel-concrete composite shear walls were proposed. Based on these assumptions, the bearing capacity formulas were derived according to the equilibrium theory of the cross section. The calculation results obtained by the bearing capacity formulas were in good agreement with the test results.

Based on the research of composite walls at home and abroad, a construction method of continuous opening of the insulation layer in the specimen is proposed. In the edge component of the composite wall, the insulation layer should be thinned appropriately, the concrete on both sides should be thickened correspondingly, and U-shaped reinforcement should be used instead of stirrup. To study its axial compression test performance, five 1/2 scale composite shear wall specimens are tested under axial compression, including three composite wall specimens and two solid wall contrast specimens. The failure mode, load-bearing performance, deformation performance, and the collaborative work performance of wall are analyzed. The results show that the failure characteristics of the composite shear wall are similar to those of the solid wall, with splitting cracks at the corners and inverted triangular conical splitting at the top of the wall along the wall height direction, with no obvious bulging in the middle of the wall. The tie action of the ribs makes the concrete walls on both sides of the composite shear wall have good integrity and cooperative performance; the installation of the thermal insulation layer increases the overall thickness of the wall, improves the stability of the composite wall, and makes the composite wall axially compressed. The bearing capacity is not significantly reduced compared to the solid walls. Finally, according to the test results, the calculation formula of axial compression bearing capacity of composite shear wall is given, which provides the basis for the formulation of the code and engineering application.

The concept of steel-concrete composite shear wall is introduced due to the benefits achieved by integrating both the materials. These are structural walls, where steel profiles are encased at the boundary elements. Due to their higher lateral strength and stiffness, they offer a good alternative to improve earthquake resistance over conventional reinforced concrete shear walls in medium and high-rise buildings. Current literature shows that, design procedure of such composite shear walls is not addressed in developing country codes. Hence, a design of steel-concrete composite shear wall is proposed in the present paper on the basis of existing theory and with the help of standard codes. The web portion of shear wall has to be designed as per provisions of Eurocode 8. For the design of composite boundary elements, design norms of composite columns are followed. Also the design of shear stud connectors is adopted according to Eurocode 4.

To study the antiseismic performance of the high-strength concrete composite shear wall with built-in steel plates, an experiment on a high-strength concrete composite shear wall with four built-in steel plates (SPRCW-1∼4) was set up. Based on the experimental result, the paper discusses the antiseismic performance, failure mode, and failure mechanism of the high-strength concrete composite shear wall with built-in steel plates under different steel ratios and different positions of steel plates. The experimental result has shown that the differences in steel plate position and steel ratios have certain effects on wall cracking. The use of high steel content and the placement of steel plates on both sides of the wall can limit wall cracking to some extent. When the bearing capacity of the steel plates located on both sides of the wall is larger than that in the middle of the wall, a high content of steel in the wall can effectively increase the bearing capacity of the test piece to some extent. Under a high axial compression ratio, the horizontal bar of the wall can substantially limit the vertical cracks in concrete arising from compression. Moreover, the built-in steel plates in the shear wall play a significant role in inhibiting the propaganda of the oblique cracks under the action of earthquakes. The research result has very good economy and operability and can provide a basis for promotion and application of the mid- and high-rise buildings in regions with high seismic intensity.

The shear wall with concrete filled steel tube (CFT) columns and steel plate is a new kind of composite shear wall. In order to know its seismic performance and failure mechanism, six 1/5 scale specimens with the same shear span ratio 1.5, including 3 steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) with CFT columns and 3 reinforced concrete shear walls (RCSWs) with CFT columns and embedded steel plate, were tested under cyclic loading. The thickness of the steel plates in the shear walls changed from 2mm, 4mm to 6mm. Based on the experiment, the load-carrying capacity, hysteresis characteristics, ductility, stiffness degradation, energy dissipation and damage characteristics of the specimens were analyzed. Especially, the ratio of height to sectional thickness of the steel plates in the shear wall was considered. The result shows that both the SPSW with CFT columns and the RCSW with CFT columns and embedded steel plate have good seismic performance and are with important practical engineering value.

To improve the seismic behavior of shear walls, a new composite shear wall composed of a steel-fiber-reinforced high-strength concrete (SFRHC) web and two square concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) columns, namely a steel-fiber-reinforced concrete shear wall with CFST columns, is proposed in this paper. Therefore, the main purpose of this paper is to present an experimental investigation of the seismic behavior of the SFRHC shear wall with CFST columns. Pseudo-static tests were carried out on seven composite shear walls, and the seismic performance of the shear walls was studied and quantified in terms of the aspects of energy consumption, ductility and stiffness degradation. Furthermore, the experimental results indicated that adding steel fiber can effectively restrain the crack propagation of composite shear walls and further help to improve the ductility and energy dissipation capacity of composite shear walls and delay the degradation of their lateral stiffness and force. Moreover, the seismic behavior of the SFRHC shear wall with CFST columns was obviously superior to that of the conventionally reinforced shear wall, in terms of load-bearing capacity, ductility, stiffness and energy dissipation capacity, because of the confinement effect of the CFST columns on the web. Finally, the preliminary study demonstrated that the composite shear wall has good potential to be used in regions with high seismic risk.

A structure type of composite shear wall is presented, the both sides of which are reinforced cement composite layer and the middle layer of which is concrete. In order to verify the cooperative work performance of cement-base composite layer and concrete, static load tests were carried out. In the test, the deformation properties of composite shear walls and the development law of the strain of concrete and steel were studied. Meanwhile, a normal shear wall with the same conditions was tested and the corresponding natures of two types of shear wall were contrasted and analyzed. The test results prove that the composite shear wall has a good overall deformation behavior, and can, to some extent, slow down the process of wall stiffness degradation. The research production has provided a foundation for the further exploration to the working properties of the composite shear wall under cyclic loading.

The structural element within the whole structure contains structural elements like beams, slabs, columns and reinforced concrete walls. One of the most vertical structural elements is shear wall that built to giving stability to the building, resisting lateral force such as earthquake and wind and to reduce the building deformations.  In present study, the analysis of corrugated vertical steel plate shear walls using finite element method by ABAQUS software is examined. Four different modes are analysed in which the first model is vertical corrugated steel shear wall plate, second is the composite shear wall with full interaction, third is the composite shear wall and finally the fourth model is composite shear wall with gap between concrete panel and steel frame to check out the full performance of different shear wall under the effects of cyclic loadings. Displacement, drift and energy dissipation will investigate throughout analysis.  Analysis results indicated that the gap and composite action between steel and concrete panel play an important role on the performance of shear wall under cyclic loading. The decrease in displacement of composite shear wall as compared with the steel shear wall reach 11.86%.
