Dear Authors,

having in hand three reviews that are generally in favour to publish the manuscript under assumption that you submit a revised manuscript taking into account the reviewers's comments, we may proceed with the procedure towards final publication. Please, submit the revised version incorporating your detailed answers you have submitted during the discussion phase to each of the reviewers. Please, incorporate new results and the enhanced discussion to stress the novelty of your approach, not excluding the limitations of the proposed methodology and possible application in engineering practice.

Thank you also for a detailed discussion on how this paper deviates from the cited paper Andrés-Doménech et al. (2016).

The revised manuscript will be reviewed again by one of the reviewers.

I am looking forward to receiving the revised version of the manuscript in a few weeks.

Sincerely Yours,

Matjaž Mikoš
Handling Editor

Dear Authors,
