# Natural Para Rubber in Road Embarnment Stabilization
## 5 Variable Assignment in FEM Model
### Analysis Conditions  
The 2D FEM analysis was carried out to evaluate and confirm the efficiency of the RSS-reinforced road embankment and determine the reinforcing layers and reinforcing positions, comparing between the unreinforced (N = 0) and reinforced (N = 1, 2, 3) conditions with 61 analysis conditions, as shown in Table 5.
