Closure to 'Design Approach for Calculating Deflection of FRP-Reinforced Concrete' by Peter H. Bischoff and Shawn P. Gross

摘要

The writers thank the discussers for taking the time to express their thoughts on the subject presented in the original paper. A reliable approach for computing deflection of FRP reinforced concrete is important, given that serviceability most often governs design (Veysey and Bischoff 2011). Comments requiring clarification include the three deflection models evaluated in the discussion and conclusions about their applicability to design based on the statistical evaluation presented in the discussion.
