A numerical-statistical approach to determining the representative elementary volume (REV) of cement paste for measuring diffusivity

Concrete diffusivity is a function of its microstructure on many scales, ranging from nanometres to millimetres. Multi-scale techniques are therefore needed to model this parameter. Representative elementary volume (REV), in conjunction with the homogenization principle, is one of the most common mu...
