A　type　of　recycled　aggregate　concrete　shear　wall　was　proposed　in　this　work,　which　used　the　painted　ultra-high-strength　steel　(UHSS)　reinforcements　with　low　bond　strength　and　high　yield　strength　in　the　boundary　elements.　For　investigating　the　seismic　resistance　and　resilient　performance　of　this　shear　wall,　six　shear　walls　with　the　shear-to-span　ratio　of　1.5　were　fabricated　and　tested　under　the　cyclic　loads.　The　variables　studied　in　this　paper　were　the　types　of　the　longitudinal　reinforcement　in　the　boundary　elements,　the　existence　of　steel　fibers,　the　presence　of　the　concealed　bracings　(X-shaped)　and　the　different　axial　compression　ratios.　The　test　results　indicated　that　specimens　with　the　UHSS　reinforcement　in　the　boundary　elements　decreased　the　residual　deformation　substantially　and　improved　the　resilient　properties.　The　higher　axial　compression　ratio　enhanced　lateral　force　resistance　of　shear　wall　but　aggravated　concrete　damage　which　was　adverse　to　the　resilience.　In　addition,　the　utilization　of　steel　fibers　in　concrete　significantly　reduced　the　crack　width.　The　shear　wall　including　concealed　bracing　not　only　showed　much　higher　lateral　force　resistance,　but　also　had　desirable　resilient　performance　under　the　large　deformation.　Finally,　a　simplified　calculation　model　for　such　shear　walls　was　proposed　on　the　basis　of　experiment.　And　the　good　accuracy　of　the　calculation　model　was　verified　by　comparing　the　calculation　results　and　the　measured　results.　©　2022　Institution　of　Structural　Engineers
