Soil improvement can be achieved using Stone Columns with a gain of bearing capacity, reduction and acceleration of settlements and mitigating the potential of liquefaction, making possible to replace the deep foundations with shallow ones, thus facilitating design and reducing costs. The effectiveness of this technique may be compromised when the layer of soft soil grows too thick and amounts of organic materials get too high, leading to a situation where the excessive compressibility and low strength of the natural soil results in too little lateral support for the columns and extremely large vertical deflections of columns resulting a local bulging failure of the structure. In this review study, various literatures studies of stone column are discussed.

Soil bearing capacity, Stone column, Deflection, Settlement, Liquefaction.
