Determination of Geometrical REVs Based on Volumetric Fracture Intensity and Statistical Tests

This paper presents a method to estimate a representative element volume (REV) of a fractured rock mass based on the volumetric fracture intensity P32 and statistical tests. A 150 m × 80 m × 50 m 3D fracture network model was generated based on field data collected at the...
