Description: We would like to thank the discussers for their interest in our paper. The hysteretic soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) used in the SFG model follows that of D. Sheng, S.W. Sloan and A. Gens, A constitutive model for unsaturated soils: thermomechanical and computational aspects, Computational Mechanics 33 (6) (2004), pp. 453–465. In this model, the SWCC is assumed to be independent of soil density, which represents a simplification of real soil behaviour.
