The steel plate shear wall structure has excellent seismic performance, mainly consists of embedded steel plate, horizontal boundary elements (HBEs) and vertical boundary elements (VBEs). Under the action of additional bending moment, the VBEs of SPSW often produce the failure mode of “hourglass specimen”. As a solution, the SPSWs proposed in this paper adopts PEC columns, which are composed of concrete filled between flanges of thin-wall channel steel, and transverse steel bars welded between flanges to prevent it from buckling. A slow cyclic test was conducted on two specimens of 1/3-scaled prefabricated SPSWs with thin steel plate composite section PEC column. According to the validated finite element method, the parameters including the height-thickness ratio of filled steel plate, concrete strength grade, bolt spacing and axial compression ratio were also studied. The results show that the new structure has high bearing capacity and good ductility. In addition, the PEC column has enough stiffness to form a good anchoring effect for the inner steel plate. The inner steel plate fully yields after buckling and provides bearing capacity and energy consumption through the action of tension field. The peak load of specimens with concrete has a higher level approximately 18% than the no-concrete specimen. The height-thickness ratio has a great impact on the post buckling performance of SPSWs. With the increase of height-thickness ratio, the ultimate bearing capacity of the structure will increase by 10% – 30%. Moreover, to give full play to the outstanding performance of prefabricated SPSW with PEC column, the value range of bolt spacing is suggested to be in the range of 120 mm – 60 mm.
