In this modern era, improvement of ground is necessary every now and there in projects. Various ground improvement techniques have been developed over the past few years. Increase in bearing capacity by placing more stiff material in ground was one of the techniques. In this study, soil-lime columns are used as binder material for ground improvement. Further these tests are compared with the only soil bed. Model experiments are performed for soil with lime as a columnar inclusion. 4cm dia columns are used for performing experiments. Model tests are carried out after 7 days of placing in order to give lime to react with soil. Obtained results are compared with the results of the only soil bed. Model experiment is done for each case i.e., only soil bed, soil+3% lime column, soil+6% lime column and soil+9% lime column. In this study, soil+6% lime column gave the more improvement followed by soil+3% lime column and soil+9% lime column. Hence at the end of the experiment we can say that Soil-lime columns can be used in ground improvement where there is more requirement of bearing capacity in an economical way as the lime is readily available at local markets at a cheap rate
