Ground improvement using Stone Column technique on black cotton soil and red soil.

Abstract

Stone column allows the loose soil to settle down properly as well as allows to establish required design criteria. Application of stone column benefits in numbers in higher resistance values, lower permeability, elimination of excessive excavation and material handling and thus it improves the strength of soil. The objective of this paper is to study the increasing strength of soil after application of stone column  .
