FS - Factor of Safety;
CBR - California Bearing Ratio;
Tg - Tensile strength of geogrid;
Tr - Reference tensile strength, 14.6 kN/m used for Tg dimensionless;
tas - Thickness of asphalt;
tag - Thickness of crushed stone;
tr - Reference length, 30.48 cm used for tas and tag dimensionless;
cas - Cohesion of asphalt;
pr1 - Reference pressure #1, 239 kPa used for cas dimensionless;
t - Tire contact stress;
pr2 - Reference pressure #2, 479 kPa used for t dimensionless;
ki (i = 1, 2,7) and mi (i = 1, 2,6) are coefficients which will be
determined by using optimization procedure.
