This　study　evaluated　a　new　type　of　joint　for　connecting　reinforced　concrete　(RC)　beams　with　a　concrete-filled　steel　tube　(CFST)　column　that　consists　of　U-shaped　steel　end　plates　and　longitudinal　reinforcement　coupling　sleeves.　The　proposed　joint　configuration　was　designed　to　fully　realise　the　advantages　of　prefabricated　structures,　including　a　short　construction　period,　easy　construction　control　and　low　environmental　impact.　Low-cycle　reversed　loading　tests　were　conducted　to　evaluate　the　seismic　behaviour　of　three　full-scale　joint　specimens,　namely　a　cast-in-place　joint　and　two　prefabricated　RC　beam-CFST　column　joints　connected　using　reinforcement　coupling　sleeves.　The　results　indicate　that　the　prefabricated　joints　exhibited　plumper　load-displacement　curves　and　a　good　connection　behaviour.　The　prefabricated　joints　failed　in　bending,　thereby　resembling　the　failure　of　the　cast-in-place　RC　beam-CFST　column　joint.　The　failure　region　was　concentrated　in　the　area　outside　of　the　U-shaped　end　plate.　The　coupling　sleeve　connection　was　reliable,　and　the　plastic　hinge　at　the　beam　end　moved　further　outward.　Compared　to　the　cast-in-place　joint,　the　prefabricated　RC　beam-CFST　column　joints　exhibited　a　similar　bending　capacity.　The　ductility　coefficients　of　the　prefabricated　RC　beam-CFST　column　joints　increased　about　5.2%　and　2.6%,　respectively.　The　average　energy　dissipation　coefficient　increased　by　0.71%　and　1.74%.　The　cumulative　energy　consumption　and　working　index　showed　no　significant　difference.
