To　prevent　adverse　impact　of　axial　tensile　force　on　seismic　performance　of　reinforced　concrete　(RC)　walls,　bonded　prestressed　concrete　(PC)　walls　are　proposed　to　use　in　high-rise　buildings.　These　prestressed　strands　provide　an　initial　axial　compressive　load　on　the　walls　to　balance　axial　tensile　forces　induced　by　strong　ground　motions.　Three　low-aspect-ratio　PC　wall　specimens　were　tested　for　various　loading　patterns,　including　constant　axial　forces　or　variable　axial　forces,　combined　with　cyclic　shear　loading.　The　failure　modes　of　wall　specimens　varied　with　loading　patterns.　The　variation　in　axial　forces　decreased　the　normalized　tensile-shear　strength　and　compressive-shear　strength　by　20.0%　and　11.2%,　respectively.　The　wall　specimen　undergoing　diagonal　compression　failure　had　a　small　ultimate　drift　ratio　of　0.6%,　while　other　two　specimens　had　an　ultimate　drift　ratio　no　less　than　1.2%.　The　PC　wall　under　axial　tensile　forces　had　significantly　higher　lateral　strength　and　stiffness　than　a　RC　wall　counterpart,　because　the　prestressed　force　controlled　the　development　of　cracks　and　prevented　the　sliding　failure.　Both　the　JGJ　3-2010　(China)　code　formula　and　ACI　318-19　(U.S.)　code　formula　significantly　underestimate　the　shear　strength　of　PC　wall　specimens.　The　ASCE/SEI　43-05　(U.S.)　code　formula　appears　to　reasonably　reflect　the　resisting　mechanisms　of　PC　walls　and　provides　an　accurate　estimate　to　the　shear　strength　of　wall　specimens.　The　truss　idealization　method　provides　a　reasonable　estimate　for　the　cracked　shear　stiffness　of　PC　walls　under　coupled　axial　tension-shear　loading,　while　underestimates　the　cracked　shear　stiffness　of　PC　walls　under　coupled　axial　compression-shear　loading.
