[en] The paper introduces two novel methods developed for porosimetry in DEM-produced virtual concrete. Inspiration came from robotics. Some available methods like quantitative image analysis render possible assessment of porosity and 3D pore size distribution. For durability applications it is necessary also to know the fraction of porosity that is continuous (percolated). This can be easily obtained from the methods introduced herein.
