In　order　to　research　on　the　effect　of　stiffening　ribs　on　axial　compression　of　embedded　steel　plate　concrete　composite　shear　wall,　two　specimens　with　the　same　dimensions　were　designed,　including　stiffening　ribs　on　both　sides　of　steel　plate　or　not.　The　axial　compression　performance　experiments　of　two　specimens　were　carried　out.　The　failure　mode,　displacement,　stiffness　degradation　and　strain　were　compared　and　analyzed.　The　test　results　show　that　the　stiffening　ribs　on　both　sides　of　steel　plate　increase　the　axial　compressive　bearing　capacity　of　the　shear　wall　by　13.38%,　the　stiffness　degradation　slows　down　and　the　damage　degree　of　concrete　is　reduced.　Compared　by　steel　plate　without　stiffening　ribs,　stiffening　ribs　delay　steel　plate　buckling　process.　The　numerical　analysis　of　the　whole　process　of　two　specimens　was　carried　out.　The　numerical　analysis　curves　are　in　good　agreement　with　the　experimental　curves.　The　calculated　formulas　of　axial　compressive　capacity　are　consistent　with　the　experimental　values.　©　2017,　Editorial　Office　of　Journal　of　Building　Structures.　All　right　reserved.
