The　paper　describes　8　tests　carried　out　on　reinforced　concrete　(RC)　shear　wall　structures　framed　with　concrete-filled　steel　tubular　(CFST)　columns　subjected　to　constant　axial　load　and　cyclic　shear　load.　The　main　parameters　were　cross-sectional　type,　axial　compression　ratio　and　height-width-ratio.　The　influences　of　these　parameters　on　strength,　ductility,　stiffness,　energy　dissipation　were　investigated.　It　was　found　that　all　specimens　failed　in　shear　mode　and　the　lateral　load　(P)　versus　lateral　deformation　()　hysteretic　curves　exhibited　a　noticeable　pinching　effect,　due　to　low　height-width-ratio.　The　ductility　and　energy　dissipation　capacity　decreased　with　higher　axial　compression　ratio　or　lower　height-width-ratio.
