Zhang, H. (author), Jin, Zuquan (author), Jiang, Nengdong (author), Ge, Zhi (author), Schlangen, E. (author), Ling, Yifeng (author), Šavija, B. (author), Wang, Zheng (author)The classically lattice model assumes the local elements behave elastic brittle, neglecting the ductility of the mortar matrix. This leads to the simulated load⁃displacement response more brittle than the realistic. To solve the aforementioned issue, a piece⁃wise approach was introduced to describe the elastic⁃plastic constitutive relation of...journal article 2023
