Abstract	This paper presents a network model to predict the permeability of cement paste from a numerical simulation of its microstructure. Based on a linked list pore network structure, the effective hydraulic conductivity is estimated and the fluid flow is calculated according to the Hagen–Poiseuille law. The pressure gradient at all nodes is calculated with the Gauss elimination method and the absolute permeability of the pore network is calculated directly from Darcy’s law. Finally, the permeability model is validated by comparison with direct water permeability measurements. According to this model, the predicted permeability of hydrating cement pastes is extremely sensitive to the particle size distribution of the cement and especially to the minimum size of the cement particles. Both in simulations and experiments, the permeability of cement pastes is mainly determined by the critical diameter and by the connectivity of the pore structure, regardless of w/c ratio and curing age. The permeability of cement pastes could be predicted reasonably well when a minimum particle size 1 μm was chosen for the cement.Cet article présente un modèle de réseau visant à prédire la perméabilité de la pâte de ciment à l’aide d’une simulation numérique de sa microstructure. Sur la base d’une liste liée de la structure du réseau de pores, la conductivité hydraulique efficace est estimée et le flux de fluide est calculé selon la loi de Hagen–Poiseuille. Le gradient de pression est calculé à tous les nœuds par la méthode d’élimination de Gauss et la perméabilité absolue du réseau de pores est directement calculée à partir de la loi de Darcy. En conclusion, le modèle de perméabilité est validé par comparaison avec des mesures de perméabilité à l’eau. Selon ce modèle, la perméabilité prévue des pâtes d’hydratation de ciment est extrêmement sensible à la distribution des dimensions des particules du ciment et particulièrement à la taille minimale. Dans les simulations ainsi que dans les expériences, la perméabilité des pâtes de ciment est principalement déterminée par le diamètre critique et par la connectivité de la structure de pore, indépendante du rapport de l’eau au ciment et de la période de traitement. La perméabilité des pâtes de ciment pourrait être raisonnablement bien prédite lorsque l’on choisit 1 μm comme dimension de grain minimale du ciment.
