The study demonstrates that the representative volume of standard cylindrical samples of rocks, concrete and asphalt represents a continuum from which samples are extracted or structures will be built. The rheological-dynamical analogy (RDA) is used as evidence, along with standard experimental data from the samples and the velocities of P and S wa...
