Geosynthetic materials have been demonstrated to be an accurate element in civil engineering, specifically in the field of pavement. Regarding the implementation of these materials in asphalt mixture layers, geosynthetics, such as geotextile and geogrid, have been used to delay the crack propagation and/or increase the fatigue life. However, the use of these material is based on the experience learned in the field or results obtained from testing on a reduced scale in the laboratory. This research work aims at evaluating the influence that geogrids have as a reinforcement to asphalt mixture layer samples. Within this context, in this work, two types of large-scale samples (with and without reinforcement) are subjected to a monotonic load under two support conditions (simple support and granular base). The results were summarized with the load-line displacement diagram, where parameters such as the peak load, displacement, stiffness, and work of fracture were analyzed. The results reveal that the asphalt layer with geogrid experiences a double benefit since it withstands greater magnitudes of load and delays the appearance of rutting problems. To conclude, the geogrid as a reinforcement for asphalt mixture layers strongly impact their mechanical behavior, increasing the service life of the pavement structure.
