Abstract:
Among various ground improvement technique, soft soil reinforcement by stone
column is one of the most common and convenient method with numerous benefits
including increased bearing capacity and consolidation reduced post construction
settlement and lateral movement and improved slope stability and liquefaction
control ,among others.
They are mainly used for stabilization soft soil such as soft clay, silts, and silty sands.
The stone column consist of compacted gavel (debris) and waste plastic bottle casing
to reduce the clogging of material within the gap between debris particles. This article
present installation methods, design and failure modes of stone column.
