An experimental database of 189 R/C bearing wall specimens with rectangular and barbell cross-section was made. The relationship between member classification determined by current standard and deformation capacity observed in experiment was discussed. Criteria of member classification were validated and some issues on the criteria were clarified. The accuracy of ultimate flexural and shear capacity estimation methods commonly used in member classification was also discussed.
