The authors appreciate the reviewer's comments. The introduction is changed to properly explain the advantage of the proposed model by referring to existing other models for expansive soils; why Kunigel-V1 is used to validate the model; what is different from previous work (Kyokawa, 2021). All of the technical comments have been reflected in the revised manuscript (title of the paper, additional explanation, and rephrasing). Other comments on writing manner (English, equations, figures, typos, etc.) are reflected in the revised manuscript. The manuscript has had English proofread.
