A geogrid, usually made from polymeric materials, is a geosynthetic type used to reinforce and strengthen soil and often laid within or between soil layers. Geogrids are open, grid-like polymer structures that can stretch in one, two, or three directions to satisfy application requirements. Geogrids are particularly effective for soil reinforcement in embankment and road construction. The properties of reinforced soil are crucial for the structural design and stability analysis of geosynthetic-reinforced soil. In this paper, a thorough literature review of the different types of polymer geogrids and other materials will be discussed. Also, a discussion about recent advancements and developments in geogrids will be conducted. On the other hand, geogrids’ benefits and effects on different soil conditions are also presented. Lastly, the research gaps and challenges in using geogrids are also presented.
