Substantial　attention　has　been　paid　to　precast　structures　due　to　their　obvious　advantages.　While　precast　members　connected　by　grouted　sleeves　are　used　in　seismic　regions,　studies　on　the　seismic　performance　of　precast　column　under　large　axial　compression　ratio　are　few,　especially　in　underground　structures.　In　this　paper,　three　full-scale　precast　columns　were　designed　and　tested　under　axial　compression　ratios　of　0.2,　0.5,　and　0.85.　Additionally,　three　monolithic　cast-in-place　columns　with　identical　details　served　as　a　control.　The　main　objectives　of　this　study　are　to　study　the　influence　of　the　axial　compression　ratio　on　the　global　mechanical　behavior　of　precast　columns　subjected　to　low-cyclic　reversed　horizontal　loads,　and　to　discover　the　internal　force　distribution　and　reach　the　appropriate　axial　compression　ratio　for　precast　columns.　The　test　results　are:　(1)　Precast　columns　were　capable　of　matching　the　deformation　and　lateral　strength　of　monolithic　connections　under　the　same　compression　ratio,　while　they　were　affected　significantly　by　the　axial　compression　ratio.　(2)　The　plastic　hinge　location　of　precast　columns　shifted　above　the　grouted　sleeve　region.　It　is　found　that　good　ductility　can　be　exhibited　compared　with　conventional　cast-in-place　column.　(3)　An　effective　measure　to　relieve　uncoordinated　stiffness　along　the　height　of　the　column　was　introduced.　(4)　Based　on　strength　and　deformation　with　the　same　axial　compression　ratio,　the　appropriate　axial　compression　ratio　was　achieved　for　precast　columns　and　the　relationship　of　spliced-bar　strain　ratio　and　axial　compression　ratio　was　presented.
