The implementation of geogrids in soils and flexible pavements has been studied since the early 1980s. However, recent studies reported that the geogrids enhancing pavement performance by increasing their structural capacity and reducing distress potential. Geogrids have incurred tremendous benefits over traditional methods by improving the overall performance of a flexible pavement system by enhancing their mechanical properties. Besides, the more energy is required for the fracture damage and crack initiation for the geogrid reinforced pavements. The tensile strains are reduced significantly due to the stiffness modulus and interlocking properties of the geogrids. The main aim of this paper is to explore the efficacy of geosynthetic interlayers as reinforcement in asphalt layers. In addition to that, the existence of the geogrids sandwiched between the bituminous layers subjected to interfacial shear properties was summarized. Therefore, the flexural fatigue properties, interfacial shear characteristics, and mechanical properties of geogrids embedded with asphalt layers were reviewed in this paper. Further, the effect of reflective cracking, vertical deformation, and service life of flexible pavements was presented.
