In　the　background　of　the　high　demand　for　accelerated　bridge　construction　(ABC),　more　detailed　research　is　still　needed　on　the　connection　method　of　prefabricated　columns　in　high-intensity　areas　to　facilitate　on-site　construction　and　reduce　costs.　Therefore,　this　study　proposed　a　shallow　socket　connection　method　suitable　for　column-footing　joints　and　the　Ultra　High-Performance　Concrete　(UHPC)　is　filled　with　the　gap　between　the　column　and　footing.　A　shallow　socket　connection　column　and　a　shallow　socket-corrugated　pipe　hybrid　connection　column　were　constructed　with　a　socket　depth　of　0.6　times　the　column　diameter,　and　a　quasi-static　test　was　conducted　to　investigate　their　seismic　capability.　As　a　comparison　specimen,　a　cast-in-place　(CIP)　specimen　was　also　tested,　and　the　scale　ratio　of　all　specimens　is　1:2.　Finally,　to　predict　the　damage　mode　and　capacity　of　the　shallow　socket　column,　a　simplified　strut-and-tie　model　was　developed　through　mechanical　analysis.　The　proposed　shallow　socket-corrugated　pipe　hybrid　connection　column　has　the　seismic　performance　not　weaker　than　that　of　the　CIP　column　and　shallow　socket　connection　column,　and　even　performs　slightly　better　in　terms　of　energy　dissipation　capacity,　making　it　more　suitable　for　moderate　and　high-intensity　areas　based　on　experimental　results.　The　established　model　of　the　socket　joints　could　reflect　the　force　characteristics　of　the　shallow　socket　column　and　calculate　the　lateral　forces　of　the　column　under　different　damage　conditions　to　determine　the　modes　of　failure.　©　2024　Elsevier　Ltd
