This study analyzes the nonlinear seismic behavior of cluster-connected prefabricated shear walls under varying axial compression ratios. The investigation focuses on the connectivity of shear wall segments assembled using cluster connections rather than separate walls connected by beams. Using the finite element software ABAQUS, this study simulates monotonic horizontal displacement loading to evaluate the yield strength, peak strength, and deformation capacity of the shear walls. The results demonstrate that the horizontal load-bearing capacity of the shear wall significantly improves with an increase in axial compression ratio, while the axial compression ratio also influences ductility. The numerical simulations are validated against experimental data, confirming the accuracy of the model. These findings provide essential insights for optimizing the seismic design of precast shear walls.
