Abstract
The various geotechnical construction technique is being primarily used of the ground improvement. The current advancement of industrial and urban growth and also the need for the wider access to the land have resulted in the development of various soil improvement methods. Stone column happens to be one among the best possible available methods for the improvement of soft/weak soil. This paper tries to indicate the review of the ground improvement by one of the existing method of stone column from the already present literature and standards. In this method, the soft soil is being enforced with a column of stone which is installed in the system. The high permeability of the stone column’s material portion not only increases the soil’s load carrying capability, but also decreases soil settlement, up to a certain extent and thus minimizes the settlement to occur after the construction. In order to reach this goal, various essential characteristics of stone columns have been considered in relation to design parameters.
