Composite　shear　walls　are　currently　being　used　in　the　construction　of　tall　building.　They　can　give　full　play　to　the　advantages　of　steel　and　concrete　and　have　better　dynamic　behavior,　such　as　ductility　and　ability　of　dissipating　energy　than　the　traditional　reinforced　concrete　shear　wall.　So　they　have　great　advantage　to　be　used　in　steel-concrete　hybrid　structures.　This　paper　briefly　introduces　some　new　kinds　of　composite　shear　walls　and　does　a　state　of　the　art　review　of　them.　Key　issues　are　discussed　in　the　research　of　their　dynamic　behavior.
