Notes

Acknowledgments

A 3-day workshop of the WG members at Bülent Ecevit University, Zonguldak, Turkey was made possible by financial support of the Bülent Ecevit University, Zonguldak, Turkey and TUBITAK (The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey) Grant No. 110M579. Input from H. Copur (Technical University Istanbul, Turkey) is gratefully acknowledged. We acknowledge the useful and constructive comments of the reviewers Prof. Bilgin (Istanbul Technical Univerity, Turkey), Prof. Nilsen (NTNU Trondheim, Norway), Prof. Thuro (Technical University Munich, Germany), Dr. Plinninger (Dr. Plinninger Geotechnik, Bernried, Germany) and Prof. Rostami (Pennsylvania State University, USA).
