To study the seismic performance of prefabricated and pre-decorated modular building joints, two groups of double-wall joints and one group of four-wall joints were tested under low cyclic loading, and compared with cast-in-place shear walls in terms of failure mode, hysteretic performance, ductility and energy consumption. The results showed that when the axial compression ratio is 0.4, the bearing capacity of the double-split shear wall specimen is significantly improved but its ductility coefficient is only 58.53% of that of the cast-in-place shear wall specimen. The energy dissipation capacity and ductility of the double-split shear wall specimen are decreased by 5.5% and 3.4%, and the yield load and ultimate load are increased by 7.9% and 5.6% respectively, compared with the cast-in-place shear wall when the axial compression ratio is 0.1. Due to the existence of vertical and horizontal grouting joints, the four-split shear wall has poor integrity, fast cracking rate and poor bearing capacity.
