The general principles, as recommended by a number of authors, e.g., Woynarowich and Horváth (1980); Pecha, Berka and Kouril (1983) and others, are that in every specific case the existing conditions and circumstances should always be considered and that the guide parameters should be adjusted on the basis of preliminary trials.
