This paper summarized the current research status of double-steel-layer-concrete composite shear walls. Then, it presented a brief introduction to the experiments of double-steel-layer-concrete composite shear wall. Based on the experimental study of double-steel-layer- concrete composite shear wall, the hysteretic behavior of the wall was analyzed and the finite element model with initial imperfections was established. Compared with the experimental results, the FEM model was verified to be efficient. Through numerical analysis, the influence of several parameters, including the high aspect ratio, the width-to-thickness ratio and the axial compression ratio, on the hysteretic behavior of the wall was explored. The numerical results have shown that all the 3 parameters have effects on the mechanical performance of the wall, the axial compression ratio is the most important factor for the loading capacity of the wall and the high aspect ratio and width-to-thickness ratio are the most important factors for the initial stiffness of the wall.
