Recent Advances in Soil Stabilization and Reinforcement: A Comprehensive Review of Emerging Technologies

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The rapid increase in the global population has intensified the need for residential areas and civil infrastructure, ultimately leading to construction in areas with less desirable geological conditions. This underscores the necessity for soil improvement. With increasing public concern for environmental issues and the urgent goal of achieving net‐zero
