The discussers would like to commend the authors for their investigation of the characterization and parameterization of the load-settlement behavior of axially loaded footings on cohesionless soils because of its importance in geotechnical practice. In this discussion, the discussers would like to: 1 provide the results of a comparative assessment of the performance of loaddisplacement models in approximating the results of a set of fullscale load tests on large footings; 2 stress the importance of investigating load-displacement uncertainty by addressing quantitatively not only second-moment statistics of model parameters but also the correlation between the parameters themselves; and 3 examine the adequateness of load-displacement models for the generation of multivariate distributions for simulation purposes.

Abstract
The discussers would like to commend the authors for their investigation of the characterization and parameterization of the load-settlement behavior of axially loaded footings on cohesionless soils because of its importance in geotechnical practice. In this discussion, the discussers would like to: 1 provide the results of a comparative assessment of the performance of loaddisplacement models in approximating the results of a set of fullscale load tests on large footings; 2 stress the importance of investigating load-displacement uncertainty by addressing quantitatively not only second-moment statistics of model parameters but also the correlation between the parameters themselves; and 3 examine the adequateness of load-displacement models for the generation of multivariate distributions for simulation purposes.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
