Determination of representative elementary volume (REV) for jointed rock masses exhibiting scale-dependent behavior: a numerical investigation

Abstract Representative elementary volume (REV) is defined as the usual size of a rock mass structure beyond which its mechanical properties are homogenous and isotropic, and its behavior can be modeled using the equivalent continuum approach. Determination of REV is a complex problem in rock engine...
