ABSTRACT

Stone column is one of the soil stabilizing methods that is used to increase strength and decrease compressibility of soft and loose fine graded soils. Various methods that have been proposed to determine the bearing capacity and loading-settlement behavior of stone columns are based on the finite element analysis and experimental observations. The purpose of this paper is to present the new simple method to determine the properties of treated soil as a function of the standard penetration test number of soil and stone column.

KEYWORDS: cement, clay stabilization, strength, slaking, bentonite.
