In　order　to　improve　the　seismic　performance　and　resilient　performance,　a　steel　plate-concrete　composite　shear　wall　with　unbonded　steel　bars　at　the　ends　was　proposed,　which　provided　the　walls　with　restoring　force　through　unbonded　high-strength　steel　bars.　The　cyclic　loading　tests　on　four　steel　plate-concrete　composite　shear　walls　with　a　shear-span　ratio　of　2.　28　were　carried　out.　The　influence　of　unbonded　high-strength　steel　bars　on　the　failure　mode,　hysteretic　performance,　bearing　capacity,　deformation　capacity,　stiffness　degradation,　energy　dissipation　capacity,　and　resilient　performance　of　the　specimens　were　analyzed.　The　results　show　that　the　failure　mode　of　steel　plate-concrete　composite　shear　walls　with　unbonded　steel　bars　at　the　ends　is　mainly　bending　failure.　The　failure　section　basically　conforms　to　the　assumption　of　the　plane　section.　The　bearing　capacity,　deformation　capacity,　initial　stiffness,　and　energy　dissipation　capacity　of　the　specimens　are　improved　by　using　unbonded　steel　bars　at　the　ends.　The　built-in　steel　plate　concrete　composite　shear　walls　with　unbonded　steel　bars　at　the　ends　can　reduce　the　damage　degree　of　concrete　in　the　compression　zone,residual　deformation　and　crack　width,which　have　good　resilient　performance.　The　theoretical　calculation　method　was　proposed.　The　calculated　results　are　in　good　agreement　with　the　test　results,　and　the　error　is　less　than　15%.　©　2022　Science　Press.　All　rights　reserved.
