In recent years, environmental concerns related to the overexploitation of natural resources and the need to manage large amounts of wastes arising from construction activities have intensified. This paper presents a preliminary study carried out to characterize the interaction impact with different material geogrids (a polyester (PET), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), and polyurethane (PU) geogrid through Finite Element Model (FEM) simulation. The effects of the geogrid specimen size, displacement rate by the pressure through the geogrids are evaluated. The results show that the measured peak pullout resistance of the geogrid increases with the specimen size imposed displacement rate The pressure ranged from 10 000 N/m 2 and 50 000 N/m 2 . The FEM analysis result is important due to quantify the benefit-cost ratio of geosynthetics application in pavements needed for a detailed Life-Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA).
