A　novel　precast　beam–column　joint　using　shape　memory　alloy　fibers-reinforced　engineered　cementitious　composites　(SMA-ECC)　was　proposed　in　this　study　to　achieve　self-repairing　of　cracks　and　internal　damage　after　an　earthquake.　Three　large-scale　beam–column　joints　were　tested　under　displacement　reversals,　including　one　monolithically　cast　conventional　concrete　joint,　one　engineered　cementitious　composites　(ECC)　reinforced　precast　concrete　joint,　and　one　SMA-ECC　reinforced　precast　concrete　joint.　Failure　mode,　crack　pattern,　hysteretic　behavior,　stiffness　degradation,　displacement　ductility,　and　energy　dissipation　capacity　were　compared　and　evaluated　through　a　cyclic　loading　test.　The　test　results　showed　that　the　ECC-based　(ECC,　SMA-ECC)　precast　joints　have　equivalent　seismic　properties　to　the　monolithically　cast　concrete　joint.　ECC-based　joints　enhanced　the　ductility　and　energy　dissipation　capacity　of　the　joint　and,　remarkably,　reduced　crack　width.　The　SMA-ECC　reinforced　joint　also　exhibited　instant　self-healing　in　terms　of　the　closure　of　small　cracks　after　unloading.　The　self-healing　performance　was　further　evaluated　through　ultrasonic　pulse　tests,　with　the　results　showing　that　the　use　of　SMA-ECC　material　was　efficient　in　reducing　the　internal　damage　of　beam–column　joints　after　an　earthquake.　©　2022　by　the　authors.
