A multilayered, mathematical model for analyzing the ultimate bearing capacity of soil subgrades and asphalt pavements is presented. Theoretical considerations and mathematical derivations of limit equilibrium equations, based on plasticity principles, for analyzing the ultimate bearing capacity of soil subgrades and partially completed asphalt pavements, and the extension of these equations to the analyses of asphalt pavements composed of multiple layers, are presented. Theoretical derivations of the shear surface selected for the model analyses is presented. The theoretical failure mass consists of three failure zones - active and passive wedges connected b a central wedge whose shear surface is a logrithmic spiral curve. Credibility of the model is established by solving three classes of pavement bearing capacity problems.
