Determining Digital Representation and Representative Elementary Volume Size of Broken Rock Mass Using the Discrete Fracture Network–Discrete Element Method Coupling Technique

Obtaining the digital characterization and representative elementary volume (REV) of broken rock masses is an important foundation for simulating their mechanical properties and behavior. In this study, utilizing the broken surrounding rock of the main powerhouse at the Liyang pumped storage power s...
