This reply sets out to justify the derivation of the equation relating strength to porosity originally proposed in the first paper. The approximation used is reasonable and a more rigorous approach is not necessary. It is also shown that the Mackenzie equation for the bulk modulus requires no amendm

Professor Bazant's concerns regarding the estimation of unrestrained drying shrinkage values for cement paste must be resolved if such values are to be used in the prediction of concrete shrinkage. We are in full agreement with regard to his statements about concrete. The presence of rigid, nonshrin
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
