The effect of microscopic cracks on chloride diffusivity of recycled aggregate concrete

•A novel stochastic numerical method to investigate the effect of cracks on diffusivity of RAC.•Two-dimensional fictitious multi-phase RAC models are randomly generated.•Effective homogenized ion diffusion coefficients of RAC models are computed using RVE approach.•Microscopic defect number, directi...
