Horizontal Tensile Strain at the bottom of the bituminous layers
Calculation of Tensile strain

Nf = 2.21 x 10^ - 4 x {1/εt}^3.89 x [1/MR]^0.854 for 80 % reliability

Nf = 0.711 x 10^ - 4 x {1/εt}^3.89 x [1/MR]^0.854 for 90 % reliability

εt = 3.112E-04 Allowable Tensile strain
Vertical Compresive Strain at the bottom of the Granular sub base
Calculation of Vertical strain
N = 4.1656*10^-8*(1/εv)^4.5337 for 80 % reliability
N = 1.41*10^-8*(1/εv)^4.5337 for 90 % reliability
1/εv = (16900000/(4.1656*10^-8))^(1/4.5337)
