Experiments　are　conducted　on　five　shear　wall　specimens　of　varying　design　and　structural　measures　in　order　to　investigate　seismic　behaviour　of　a　composite　shear　wall　with　the　steel　reinforced　concrete　frame　and　an　embedded　perforated-steel　plate.　In　addition,　low-cyclic　load　is　applied　on　test　specimens　that　have　a　shear　span　ratio　of　1.5.　Using　the　experimental　data,　the　bearing　capacity,　stiffness,　ductility,　hysteretic　energy,　and　failure　characteristics　of　five　specimens　are　analysed.　The　results　show　that　the　composite　shear　wall　(CSW)　with　the　steel　reinforced　concrete　frame　(SRCF)　and　embedded　steel　plate　(ESP)　has　higher　bearing　capacity,　better　ductility,　slower　degradation　of　stiffness,　and　higher　energy　dissipation　capacity,　as　compared　to　an　ordinary　reinforced　concrete　shear　wall.　Moreover,　its　seismic　behaviour　can　be　improved　by　using　the　ESP　of　an　appropriate　thickness.　For　the　ESPs　of　identical　thickness,　the　results　show　that　the　specimen　that　uses　steel　ties　exhibits　better　seismic　behaviour　than　those　using　welding　studs.　Finally,　a　computing　model　that　can　calculate　the　bearing　capacity　of　the　CSWs　is　developed.　A　comparison　of　calculated　and　measured　results　shows　that　the　results　are　close　to　each　other.
