The framed self-centering wall (FSCW) structure is a newly-emerged special type of seismic-resistant system. However, the related studies rarely concern the theoretical investigation of the FSCW structures subjected to lateral loading, which is of great importance for seismic design of the FSCW structures. In view of this, the analytical model of the FSCW structures is firstly developed, then the fundamental equations that govern the elastic responses of FSCW structures under lateral loads are formulated and the corresponding analytical solutions are derived. Meanwhile, the developed analytical model is validated by the finite element method, which shows that the developed model has a good reliability in predicting the elastic responses of FSCW structures sustaining lateral loading. Utilizing the proposed method, the effects of the post-tensioned (PT) tendon and dampers on the behaviors of the FSCW structure under lateral loading are investigated. Moreover, a comparative study of mechanical performance between the FSCW structure and conventional structures under lateral loading is conducted. The results show that, in terms of the lateral displacement and shear force responses of the frame, the mechanical performance of the FSCW structure subjected to lateral loading generally falls in between those of the conventional frame-shear wall structure and the moment-resisting frame structure.
