This paper describes the bond characteristics of outer-shell reinforced concrete members with continuous cotters at the precast joints. The results of the pull-out tests are summarized as follows. (1) The bond splitting strength of outer-shell member was increased as the ratio of cotter area. (2) The bond capacities of outer-shell members, when the ratio was beyond 60%, were as same as those of monolithic members. (3) A proposed equation of the bond splitting strength shows a good agreement with the test results.
