The authors should be commended for their interesting experimental work on sandy soils presented in Belkhatir et al. (2010) [1]. They used the inter-granular void ratio, , to interpret the experimental results and developed some useful correlations with . However, the Note fails to address the further development of over a decade to a more generalized form of equivalent granular void ratio, . This comment aims at adding missing literature on and presents a re-interpretation of the experimental data based on . The advantages of using over are significant and explained in subsequent sections.
