Reviewer 2 Report

The paper is well-written. The topic described will be very much useful for both the academics as well as for the practicing engineers. I have a couple of clarifications:

1. Table 2: The references of the relationships should be provided.

2. Along with Hardin & Drnevich model, is the degradation of shear modulus of soil with progressive number of loading cycles considered?
