This　paper　proposes　a　new　prefabricated　concrete　filled　steel　tube-bordered　monolayer　reinforced　shear　wall　structure,　which　is　composed　of　concrete　filled　steel　tube　borders　and　reinforced　concrete　wallboard.　The　shear　wall　can　be　assembled　conveniently　by　connecting　with　the　beams　of　the　main　frame　via　high-strength　bolts,　and　it　can　resist　horizontal　earthquake　forces　with　the　frame.　Six　shear　wall　specimens　were　designed　and　tested　under　lateral　cyclic　loads.　The　effects　of　the　axial　compression　ratio　and　rebar　support　on　the　seismic　performance　were　analyzed.　The　test　results　indicated　that　the　concrete　filled　steel　tube　borders　and　the　concrete　wallboard　work　well　with　each　other.　The　peak　load　of　each　specimen　increased　with　increasing　axial　compression　ratio.　With　rebar　support　in　the　wallboard,　the　peak　load,　initial　stiffness　and　energy　dissipation　capacity　of　the　specimens　increased.　In　addition,　the　deformation　capacity　of　the　proposed　shear　wall　structure　can　meet　the　requirement　of　the　elastic–plastic　interstory　drift　ratio　(1/100)　of　seismic　design　in　practical　engineering.　A　finite　element　method　analysis　was　conducted,　and　the　simulation　results　showed　good　agreement　with　the　test　results.　Finally,　based　on　the　test　and　finite　element　simulation　results,　a　calculation　model　of　the　normal　section　was　proposed　to　predict　the　bearing　capacity　of　the　structures,　which　was　verified　by　the　small　errors　with　calculation　results.　©　2022　Elsevier　Ltd
