At present, the shear walls are used because of the stiffness and strength against the loads on the building. In this research, by comparing the stiffness of two concrete and steel walls in ABAQUS finite element software, the most effective type of wall is investigated in terms of strength, ductility, absorption of energy and lost energy. In order to investigate the amount of absorbed energy and resistance from the overlapping analysis, the ATC-24 cyclic loading was used to examine the ductility and the energy lost from cyclic loading. In the study of the results of two walls in the ABAQUS finite element software, it was observed that the shear strength of the steel, ductility, absorption of energy, resistivity and cumulative energy was 53.3, 66.9, 66.9 and 76 percent, respectively, of reinforced concrete wall. The results show the ductility, energy absorption, resistivity and cumulative energy of the steel shear wall relative to the shear wall of reinforced concrete.
