The seismic performance of five different shear span ratio shear walls were analyzed by the quasi-static test and ABAQUS finite element simulation. The seismic performance of different shear span ratio shear wall, such as failure mode, bearing capacity, displacement, ductility and hysteretic curve, were compared. The comparison shows that shear span ratio is the important influencing factors of seismic performance of glazed hollow bead insulation concrete shear wall. The greater the shear wall’s shear span ratio was, the smaller yield?ratio was, The higher the security reserve capacity was, the bigger displacement ductility coefficient was, the better the ductility was, but the bearing capacity was lower. When the shear span ratio between 1.24 ~ 1.8, the shear wall has better ductility, high bearing capacity, and seismic performance is more ideal. The research results can provide experimental support and theoretical basis for the structure design of the glazed hollow bead insulation concrete shear wall.
