Abstract
An experimental study has been performed with the aim of quantifying p ore structures systems of cement mortars and correlating them with wat er permeability. A new pore structure parameter has been found to pred ict the permeabilities of mortars with an acceptable accuracy. A reaso nably close correlation was found between the structural parameter and the permeability if the ''relevant'' pore size range was incorporated into the functional equation which expresses the relation between the pore structure and permeability.
