Experimental Evaluation of Effect of Length of Stone Column on Load Carrying Capacity of Cohesive Soil

Mohammed Sadeque, Patil B.M

Abstract


Stone column technique is widely used to improve load bearing capacity and to reduce settlement in case of soft clayey soil and loose silty soil. Stone column helps to improve the properties of soil by densifying, reinforcing the soil forming stiff fused soil mass. More over stone column provides good drainage path and diminishes the excess pore pressure. This paper discuss the effect of length of stone column on the performance of stone column through a lab study.
