Twin steel platescomposite shear walls contain very high ultimsate bearing capacity and ductility, which have great potential to be applied in the super highrise buildings and special structures. In this paper, we analyzed the basic characteristics and stress mechanism of the twin steel platescomposite shear walls. Specifically, we analyzed the effects of the steel plate thickness, wall thickness and concrete strength on the bearing capacity of the twin steel platescomposite shear walls. The analysis results indicate that (1) the initial shear stiffness and ultimate shearcarrying capacity is not significantly affected by the thickness of concrete wall but by the class of concrete, (2) both factors significantly impact the shear distribution of the shear walls in ultimate shearcarrying capacity. The technique of twin steel platescomposite shear walls has been successfully applied in the construction of an 88meter Huge Statue of Buddha located in Hunan Province, China. The analysis results and engineering experiences showed that the twin steel platescomposite shear walls have great potential for future research and applications.</abstract> <index>Open Science Index 104, 2015</index> </article>
