To　investigate　the　seismic　behavior　of　shear　walls　with　high-strength　materials,　cyclical　quasi-static　tests　on　five　half-scale　shear　walls　with　an　aspect　ratio　of　1.5　were　carried　out,　including　four　conventional　reinforced　concrete　walls　and　one　composite　wall.　The　steel　fiber-reinforced　concrete　shear　wall　with　HRB　600　MPa　reinforcement　located　completely　in　the　boundary　element　and　in　the　wall　web　was　taken　as　the　reference　specimen.　The　presence　of　steel　fibers,　the　strength　of　wall　web　rebar,　and　the　presence　of　high-strength　reinforcement　diagonal　bracing　(X　configuration)　were　selected　as　major　test　parameters　for　the　other　three　conventional　walls.　The　results　reveal　that　the　high-strength　concrete　(HSC)　shear　wall　with　high-strength　steel　rebar　(HSSR)　showed　stable　hysteresis　performance,　and　all　specimens　had　acceptable　crack　widths　and　residual　deformations　before　a　lateral　drift　of　1%,　except　for　the　nonfiber-reinforced　concrete　specimen.　The　addition　of　steel　fibers　can　reduce　the　crack　width,　limit　the　shear　crack　development,　and　increase　the　flexibility　deformation,　thus　improving　the　deformation　capacity　of　the　specimens.　Using　HRB　600　MPa　reinforcement　instead　of　HRB　400　MPa　reinforcement　as　wall　web　rebar　can　significantly　reduce　the　residual　deformation.　The　specimen　with　high-strength　reinforcement　diagonal　bracing　in　the　wall　web　and　the　composite　shear　wall　with　a　built-in　steel　truss　not　only　had　desirable　repairability　after　a　large　earthquake　but　also　showed　much　higher　energy　consumption　capacity　under　a　strong　earthquake.　Finally,　based　on　the　experimental　and　theoretical　analysis,　a　simple　method　for　calculating　the　lateral　strength　was　established,　and　the　predicted　results　showed　good　agreement　with　the　test　data.　©　2021　Elsevier　Ltd
