Closure to 'Nonlinear Uniaxial Material Model for Reinforcing Steel Bars' by Sashi K. Kunnath, YeongAe Heo, and Jon F. Mohle

摘要

The writers thank the discussers for their interest in our work. In the following closure, in addition to addressing the particular issue raised by the discussers of applying the model to simulate the cyclic response of smooth reinforcing bars, the writers also take this opportunity to clarify an additional issue related to the use of natural stress-strain coordinates in developing the proposed model.
