In　order　to　evaluate　the　seismic　behavior　and　performance　of　the　assembled　monolithic　subway　station,　a　full-scale　precast　concrete　sidewall　joint　and　a　full-scale　cast-in-place　concrete　sidewall　joint　were　designed　based　on　the　Beijing　Jin＇anqiao　subway　station.　The　important　indexes　were　studied　under　low-cycle　repeated　loading,　such　as　failure　modes,　hysteretic　characteristics,　load-bearing　capacity,　deformation　capacity,　energy　dissipation　capacity　and　forced　state　of　grout　sleeve　splicing　et　al.　The　results　showed　that　the　deformation　capacity　and　load-bearing　capacity　of　the　sidewall　joints　were　approximately　same.　The　energy　dissipation　capacity　of　precast　concrete　joint　was　much　lower　than　that　of　the　cast-in-place　concrete　joint,　and　the　crack　failure　modes　were　different　obviously.　The　crack　distribution　of　the　cast-in-place　concrete　joint　was　homogeneous,　but　that　of　the　precast　concrete　joint　were　centralized.　For　the　precast　concrete　joint,　the　main　cracks　were　distributed　around　the　sections　with　stiffness　mutation　or　maximum　moments.　The　initial　stiffness　of　the　precast　concrete　joint　was　larger　than　that　of　the　cast-in-place　concrete　joint　in　the　prime　loading　stage,　but　it　decreased　drastically　in　the　later　loading　stage.　Based　on　the　experimental　results,　the　grouting　sleeves　were　simplified　by　the　principle　basis　of　equivalent　flexural　rigidity,　and　the　sidewall　joints　were　simulated.　The　experimental　results　agree　well　with　the　those　of　numerical　analysis,　which　validates　the　rationalization　of　the　proposed　method.　©　2017,　Editorial　Office　of　China　Civil　Engineering　Journal.　All　right　reserved.
