1/2-scale reinforced concrete walls were constructed and tested under static cyclic loading simulating earthquakes. The feature which distinguished these wall specimens from ordinary reinforced concrete walls was that the specimens had crack control joints with deformed bars inside. Finite element analyses were conducted to simulate the structural behavior of the walls tested. The analyses captured well their behavior such as flexural cracking load, load-displacement relationships and failure mechanisms. As far as this study was concerned, structural performance, such as initial stiffness, flexural cracking load and the ultimate load capacity of the walls with deformed bars at crack control joints were able to be well evaluated by design equations assuming the wall thickness be the one without crack control joints.
