Composite　shear　walls　are　currently　being　increasingly　used　in　the　construction　of　building,　because　they　can　fully　exert　the　advantages　of　steel　and　concrete.　Therefore,　they　have　better　dynamic　behavior　than　the　traditional　reinforced　concrete　shear　wall　such　as　ductility　and　ability　of　dissipating　energy.　This　paper　briefly　introduces　some　new　kinds　of　composite　shear　walls　and　gives　a　state　of　the　art　review　of　them.　Finally,　key　issues　are　discussed　in　the　research　of　dynamic　behavior　of　them.
