Steel plate shear wall is one of the relatively new, reliable systems that have been used in designing and reinforcing high-rise buildings in the last four decades. Due to the favorable performance of this type of lateral load system, including high hardness, good ductility and high energy dissipation, this system can be used to strengthen non-structural structures. The composite steel shear wall consists of a number of steel plates surrounded by beams and columns and covered with concrete in either side or both sides of the steel plate. This wall is one of the newest structural systems that so far has been carried out by researchers to develop their behavioral knowledge. It is necessary to understand and understand the behavior of any structure, such as research or other systems in the developing world, to study the history of past research. The purpose of this research is to review the findings of other researchers in the world and identify and identify the research gaps. In this paper, a brief description of the characteristics of the composite steel shear walls, is given to a review of the research done in this field.
