In　this　study,　an　innovative　composite　shear　wall,　comprised　of　boundary　Concrete　Filled　Steel　Tubular　(CFST)　columns,　and　Reinforced　Concrete　(RC)　walls　embedded　with　multiple　steel　plates　has　been　developed.　Seven　specimens　were　investigated　by　cyclic　loading　tests.　The　parameters　were　the　type　of　the　boundary　CFST　columns,　the　number　of　multiple　steel　plates　and　the　axial　force　ratio.　There　were　two　loading　stages　for　the　tests.　During　stage　1,　the　specimens　were　tested　until　a　2.0%　drift　ratio　was　attained.　After　stage　1,　damaged　specimens　were　retrofitted　and　tested　in　stage　2.　The　failure　characteristics,　hysteretic　behavior,　strength　and　deformation,　strains,　energy　dissipation　capacity　and　stiffness　were　studied.　The　results　show　that　the　hysteresis　curves　of　the　innovative　shear　walls　were　stable.　The　embedded　multiple　steel　plates　had　a　considerable　effect　on　the　seismic　behavior　of　the　innovative　shear　walls,　and　the　strength　increased　with　increasing　number　of　steel　plates.　There　was　no　considerable　difference　in　the　effect　on　seismic　behavior　for　the　different　types　of　the　boundary　CFST　columns.　The　developed　shear　walls,　after　retrofitting,　were　shown　to　satisfy　seismic　requirements.　Finally,　an　evaluation　method　for　the　ultimate　strength　of　the　shear　walls　was　developed　with　adequate　accuracy.
