Research progress on bolting connection of prefabricated concrete shear wall

Abstract Dry connection of prefabricated concrete shear wall has gradually become a hot research direction in China, and among those various of dry connections, bolted joints attract scholars’ attentions with its unique advantages. This paper introduces the classifications of bolted joints of prefabricated concrete shear wall structures. Then it summarizes the latest developments of such joints in foreign countries, and the current research status in China. At the same time, this paper will give a comprehensive evaluation from the perspective of safety and cost. Finally, some suggestions are put forward for the problems still to be solved in this direction in the future.
