A　low-frequency　quasi-static　cyclic　loading　experimental　study　on　seismic　performance　of　the　recycled　aggregate　concrete　(RAC)　shear　walls　were　systematically　carried　out　The　load-carrying　capacity　stiffness,　degradation　process　of　stiffness,　ductility　hysteretic　property,　energy　dissipation　and　damage　characteristics　of　the　specimens　with　RAC　and　the　specimens　with　the　usual　concrete　in　different　shear-span　ratio　were　compared　The　influence　of　the　seismic　performance　of　specimens　with　different　shear-span　ratio,　different　amount　of　coarse　recycled　aggregate　replacement　different　reinforcement　percentage,　different　axial-force　ratio,　different　reinforcement　design　and　construction　measures　were　studied　Experimental　study　indicated　that　the　load-carrying　capacity　and　ductility　of　the　specimens　with　RAC　showed　a　little　lower　compared　to　the　corresponding　specimens　The　latter　stiffness　of　the　two　kinds　of　specimens　tended　to　accordance　even　though　the　initial　stiffness　of　those　with　RAC　was　lower　because　of　their　different　elastic　modulus　It　can　meet　the　structure　requirements　that　the　RAC　shear　walls　are　applied　in　the　multi-story　buildings　in　seismic　zones　belong　to　fortification　intensity　8　or　lower,　or　the　upper　part　of　tall　buildings　under　lower　force　through　reasonable　design
