Yes / In order to improve the efficiency of the structural lateral resistance system, a new type of Grid tubular-Double Steel Plate (GDSP) concrete composite shear walls is proposed and investigated in this paper. Six test specimens, namely one reinforced concrete (RC) shear wall, three GDSP concrete composite shear walls, one concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) frame, one CFST frame and GDSP concrete composite shear wall combined system were physically tested to failure. The seismic performance of the six test specimens, including hysteresis behavior, ductility, energy dissipation, degradation of stiffness and strength, are recorded and compared. The results show that the GDSP concrete composite shear walls exhibited typical bending failure under low reversed cycle loading, achieving good seismic performance with full hysteresis curve, high bearing capacity, excellent ductility, slow degradation of stiffness and bearing capacity. Under the same axial compression ratio, the yield load of GDSP concrete composite shear wall was about 2.73 times, whilst the peak load was 3.23 times, respectively, of those of RC shear wall. On the other hand, the peak displacement of GDSP concrete composite shear wall was 5 times while ultimate displacement was 3.86 times, respectively, of those of RC shear wall. For GDSP concrete composite shear walls, with the increase of axial compression ratio, the peak load of the new types of concrete composite shear wall increases, but the ductility decreases, gradually. The CFST frame and GDSP concrete composite shear wall can work together co-ordinately. The hysteretic curve of the combined system is fuller, the ductility is improved, the degradation of stiffness and strength are slow when compared with GDSP concrete composite shear wall. Under reversed cyclic loading, the GDSP concrete composite shear wall exhibits low stiffness degradation characteristics and excellent fatigue resistance. / The authors would like to acknowledge the financial support to the work by the Natural Science Foundation of Jiangsu Province, China (BK20201436), the Open Foundation of Jiangsu Province Engineering Research Center of Prefabricated Building and Intelligent Construction (2021), the Science and Technology Project of Jiangsu Construction System (2018ZD047, 2021ZD06), the Science and Technology Project of Gansu Construction System (JK2021-19), the Science and Technology Cooperation Fund Project of Yangzhou City and Yangzhou University (YZU212105), the Science and Technology Innovation Fund of Yangzhou University (2020-65) and the Blue Project Youth Academic Leader of Colleges and Universities in Jiangsu Province (2020).
