A　column　connection　achieved　by　integrated　core　sleeve　and　bolts　and　its　design　method　were　proposed,　in　order　to　solve　the　potential　issues　existed　in　traditional　welded　connections　of　box-shaped　column　such　as　lower　construction　efficiency,　higher　labor　costs,　poor　seismic　performance　and　environmental　pollution,　et　al.　A　box-shaped　column　connection　with　integrated　core　sleeve　and　bolts　(SBBC)　and　its　design　method　were　proposed.　Three　SBBCs　with　core　sleeve,　blind　bolts　and　compensation　plate,　respectively,　as　well　as　a　traditional　fully-penetrated　welded　connection　(FPWC)　were　designed.　And　low-cycle　reciprocating　loading　tests　were　conducted　to　study　the　mechanical　performance　of　the　SBBC　and　the　influences　of　core　sleeve,　blind　bolt　and　compensation　plate　on　the　mechanical　behavior　of　the　SBBC.　Comparative　analyses　between　the　SBBC　and　the　FPWC　were　also　conducted.　The　test　results　indicate　that　the　installation　of　core　sleeve　could　reduce　the　strain　level　of　flanges　by　30%-70%　and　the　preload　of　high-strength　bolts　by　4%-21%　as　the　inter-story　drift　is　increased　from　0.01　rad　to　0.04　rad,　demonstrating　the　core　sleeve　can　effectively　strengthen　the　flexural　and　shear　capacity　of　the　connection　and　the　SSBC　possesses　favorable　ductility　and　energy　dissipation　ability.　It　is　basically　consistent　with　each　other　before　0.05　rad　and　slightly　different　after　0.05　rad　for　the　hysteretic　curves　of　both　SBBCs　with　blind　bolts　and　compensation　plates,　which　then　can　be　adopted　according　to　the　practical　needs.　It　can　be　concluded　that　the　SBBC　possess　similar　static　performance　to　that　of　the　FPWC　and　can　be　designed　as　a　rigid　connection　as　applied　in　actual　engineering.　©　2020,　Editorial　Office　of　Journal　of　Building　Structures.　All　right　reserved.
