Geogrid reinforcement is used in permanent paved roadways in two major application areas – base reinforcement and subgrade stabilization. The present study applied the AASHTO (1993) (Guide for Design of Pavement Structures), IRC: 37 (2012) (Guidelines for the design of flexible pavements) and IRC: SP: 59 (2019) (Guidelines for use of geosynthetics in road pavements and associated works) methods for design of geogrid-reinforced pavements using 20-year design life. Relevant design data were obtained to design the pavement, and a comparison was made between different design results.
