Accelerated　bridge　construction　(ABC)　is　increasingly　gained　attention　worldwide　based　on　its　advantage　of　high-quality　precast　elements,　less　environmental　effect,　quick　construction　speed,　and　minimum　traffic　block.　The　seismic　performance　of　prefabricated　bridge　structures　is　mainly　dependent　on　the　feasibility　of　connections.　To　efficiently　bear　the　load　from　the　gravity　of　other　elements　and　deformation　ability　in　high　seismic　areas,　in　this　study,　an　innovative　contrete-filled　steel　tube　(CFST)　embedded　precast　concrete　bridge　column-foundation　connection　with　studs　was　put　forwards.　Two　1:2　scale　specimens　were　designed　to　verify　the　seismic　performance　of　the　proposed　connection　type.　One　is　a　precast　specimen　with　the　bridge　column-foundation　connection,　the　other　is　the　conventional　cast-in-place　(CIP)　specimen　as　a　reference.　The　experimental　observations　and　seismic　properties　were　analyzed　and　compared　with　those　of　the　CIP　specimen,　such　as　failure　mode,　load-displacement　curves,　energy　dissipation,　etc.　The　finite　element　model　of　the　precast　specimen　with　bridge　column-foundation　connection　was　established　and　the　validated　model　was　used　to　conduct　the　parametric　study.　The　precast　specimen　with　bridge　column-foundation　connection　has　a　larger　capacity,　ductility,　energy　dissipation,　and　equivalent　viscous　damping　ratio　than　the　CIP　specimen.　Axial　compression　ratio,　embedded　depth,　and　concrete　strength　affect　the　seismic　performance　of　the　precast　specimen　with　the　bridge　column-foundation　connection.　The　proposed　CFST　embedded　precast　concrete　bridge　column-foundation　connection　can　be　applied　to　ABC　technology　in　high　seismic　areas.　©　2023　Elsevier　Ltd
