Closure to “Mechanical Response of Lightly Cemented Sands under Different Orientations of the Principal Stress Axes”

This paper presents a closure to “Mechanical Response of Lightly Cemented Sands under Different Orientations of the Principal Stress Axes” by Marina Bellaver Corte, Erdin Ibraim, Lucas Festugato, Andrea Diambra, and Nilo Cesar Consoli. https://doi.org/10.1061/JGGEFK.GTENG-12092.<br/><br/>The writers appreciate the discussers’ interest in this research and are grateful for their positive assessment, particularly the recognition of the study’s comprehensive nature and its novel contribution to the mechanical behavior of (artificially) cemented soils. The discussers raise valuable technical points, and the writers welcome the opportunity to further clarify aspects of the research.<br/><br/>The discussion is built around the following three ideas, as addressed in the following.
