The authors appreciate Bonen's discussion. He has raised a number of useful points that should be addressed. At the outset, it appears that Bonen has concluded that the preset gray levels used to identify phases within cement paste were selected based on "absolute" backscatter coefficients. This wa
In our experiments, mortar samples were exposed to a CO2-enriched atmosphere (CO2-series) and to a CO 2 + SO2-enriched atmosphere (SO2-series). Because of the gas concentrations (0.7 vol.-% CO2; 0.06 vol.-% CO2) used, the dominant process consists in the reaction of CO 2 with the alkaline components
We thank J. Baron and M. Buil for their reference to our work and for the interesting comparison they have made with their experimental results.
