This paper performs a comparative study, which evaluates the classic and advanced approaches that apply to the assessment of soil bearing capacity for geotechnical engineers. The affectation of this research is in an analysis of soil analysis evolution, and ways in which it is related to the construction and infrastructure development. Conventional modes of analysis, which are often done by means of geostatistics-based systems and Standard Penetration Test (SPT), are contrasted with innovative applications including artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, grouting, and experiments. This study will undertake a thorough overview of existing literature to assess the distribution, limitations, and implications in practice as well as research gap by using each of the above methods. A chi-squared test is done to discriminate with significance the difference in distribution in the prevalence of methods between traditional and modern methods paradigms. The results showed a dramatic gap in the utilization of different strategies that showed the switch towards the use of advanced technologies and experimentation in methodologies. The study conducted here is clear evidence of the use of combined usual and modern methods has a big role to play in enhancing soil bearing assessment assessment techniques used in professional engineering. The findings revealed can be used to help determine further research directions as well as practical approaches for engineers to carry analysis in a more efficient and factual way for better construction purposes.
