This paper presents a numerical simulation of a shear-wall mock-up subjected to monotonic loading with a new steel-concrete bond model. First, global responses (forcedisplacement curves) are compared to the experimental results and show a good agreement between simulation and experiment. In order to compare the local responses such as crack orientation, crack spacing and crack opening, a new post-processing method is presented. It is based on the definition of the crack path from the displacement field or the change in the sign of the bond slip. The crack opening is then obtained using the displacement in the normal direction of the crack. The method is applied on the shear wall and the results are compared to the experimental data obtained with digital image correlation. A good agreement is once again obtained.
