In　order　to　research　the　collaborative　work　performance　between　steel　plate　and　concrete　wall　with　high　axial　compression　ratio　for　embedded　steel　plate-concrete　composite　shear　walls,　four　1/4　scaled　wall　specimens　were　tested　under　axial　compression　to　simulate　the　core　tube　shear　wall　in　China　Zun　Tower.　The　overall　dimensions　were　identical　for　four　specimens.　The　main　test　parameter　was　the　constructional　measure　for　the　bonding　between　steel　and　concrete.　The　bearing　capacity,　stiffness　degradation,　strain　distribution　and　deformation　capacity　were　compared　and　analyzed　with　the　method　of　one-way　repeated　loading.　The　axial　compressive　bearing　capacity　was　calculated.　The　results　show　that　the　axial　force　sharing　ratio　of　steel　plate　is　between　25%　and　32%,　so　the　embedded　steel　plates　behave　well　in　compression　at　ultimate　load.　Compared　with　the　specimen　without　lacing　wires　and　studs,　the　bearing　capacity　and　the　axial　deformation　of　the　specimen　with　long　studs　are　improved　by　23.6%　and　22.6%,　the　stiffness　degradation　is　slowed　down　by　17.42%.　The　specimen　with　long　studs　exhibits　good　collaborative　work　performance.　The　strength　superposition　theory　is　adopted　when　the　axial　compression　bearing　capacity　of　the　embedded　steel　plate-concrete　composite　shear　walls　is　calculated.　The　test　results　are　in　good　agreement　with　the　calculated　values.　©　2016,　Editorial　Office　of　Journal　of　Building　Structures.　All　right　reserved.
