Summary:Solanki et al commend the paper Drop Weight Testing on Concrete Beams and ACI Design Equations for Maximum and Residual Deflections under Low-Velocity Impact by Nghiem and Kang. They convey that the study identifies a set of formulas for the analysis of maximum and residual deflections as well as the ACI shear and flexural design equations under low-velocity impact on reinforced concrete beams. However, they took notice on some of the flaws of the paper including the presentation of the materials which is most from the work of Kishi et al.
