A　composite　shear　wall　concept　based　on　concrete　filled　steel　tube　(CFST)　columns　and　steel　plate　(SP)　deep　beams　is　proposed　and　examined　in　this　study.　The　new　wall　is　composed　of　three　different　energy　dissipation　elements:　CFST　columns;　SP　deep　beams;　and　reinforced　concrete　(RC)　strips.　The　RC　strips　are　intended　to　allow　the　core　structural　elements　-　the　CFST　columns　and　SP　deep　beams　-　to　work　as　a　single　structure　to　consume　energy.　Six　specimens　of　different　configurations　were　tested　under　cyclic　loading.　The　resulting　data　are　analyzed　herein.　In　addition,　numerical　simulations　of　the　stress　and　damage　processes　for　each　specimen　were　carried　out,　and　simulations　were　completed　for　a　range　of　location　and　span-height　ratio　variations　for　the　SP　beams.　The　simulations　show　good　agreement　with　the　test　results.　The　core　structure　exhibits　a　ductile　yielding　mechanism　characteristic　of　strong　column-weak　beam　structures,　hysteretic　curves　are　plump　and　the　composite　shear　wall　exhibits　several　seismic　defense　lines.　The　deformation　of　the　shear　wall　specimens　with　encased　CFST　column　and　SP　deep　beam　design　appears　to　be　closer　to　that　of　entire　shear　walls.　Establishing　optimal　design　parameters　for　the　configuration　of　SP　deep　beams　is　pivotal　to　the　best　seismic　behavior　of　the　wall.　The　new　composite　shear　wall　is　therefore　suitable　for　use　in　the　seismic　design　of　building　structures.
