Fig. 2 shows the comparison <strong>of</strong> the considered criteria with some<br />

experimental results (the attention should also be drawn to the<br />

very importc. it international experimental investigation, Gerstle<br />

et al. (1978)). The figure shows the compressive and tensile<br />

meridians. Except for the proposal <strong>of</strong> Chen and Chen (1975) , a<br />

good agreement is obtained for all criteria. The Chen and Chen<br />
