Acknowledgments

Financial support for the laboratory testing program described in this closure was provided by the National Science Foundation under Grant CMS-0116006. Professor Michael Riemer, of the University of California at Berkeley, helped supervise the experimental studies, and Professor Turan Durgunoglu, of Bosphorus University, supported the field and laboratory testing in Turkey. Mr. Christian Ledezma, of the University of California at Berkeley, assisted by checking the seismic bearing capacity calculations and preparing Fig. 5(b).
