A　variety　of　forms　of　connection　in　precast　reinforced　concrete　(PC)　have　been　proposed,　but　the　impact　of　the　connection　forms　on　the　shear　wall　remains　to　be　studied.　In　this　paper,　through　quasi-static　experiments　and　numerical　simulations,　the　influences　of　a　new　form　of　bolted　connection　on　the　mechanical　behaviors　of　the　PC　shear　wall　are　investigated.　The　results　show　that　the　strain　of　the　connector　is　less　than　the　yield　strain　and　the　failure　does　not　occur　in　the　connector;　the　mechanical　behaviors　of　this　connection　form　of　the　PC　shear　wall　are　equivalent　to　those　of　the　cast-in-place　reinforced　concrete　(RC)　shear　wall.　Meanwhile,　reasonable　suggestions　are　put　forward　for　the　design　of　the　connector　from　the　pretightening　force,　bolt　number,　and　axial　compression　ratio.　This　implies　that　this　form　of　bolted　connection　has　little　influence　on　the　mechanical　behaviors　of　the　PC　shear　wall　and　design　suggestions　can　be　used　in　practical　projects.　©　2018　by　the　authors.
