To evaluate the seismic performance of a new type of precast concrete (NPC) shear wall with reserved after-pouring part of "凹" type horizontal flat-fell seam, three full scale specimens including one piece of cast-in-place shear wall and two pieces of NPC shear walls were tested and compared under low-cyclic reversed loading with axial compression ratio of 0.1. A systematic analysis was made on hysteretic curves, skeleton curves, stiffness, bearing capacity, ductility, and energy dissipation capacity, etc. The test results indicated that the damage of the NPC shear walls not only occurred at the bottom but also at the upper horizontal seam, and this was slightly different from the cast-in-place shear wall specimen that mainly at the bottom. However, the whole failure process, carrying capacity, ductility, and seismic energy dissipation capacity of the NPC shear walls were basically similar to the cast-in-place shear wall specimen.
