This chapter conveys the utilization of stone columns, a proven method for enhancing the engineering characteristics of soft clayey grounds and loose silt deposits. By facilitating accelerated consolidation through reduced drainage paths and bolstering the load-carrying capacity while curbing settlements by integrating robust, granular materials, stone columns significantly improve soil stability. The discussion encompasses the techniques and construction methodologies of stone columns, elucidating the underlying mechanisms of their behavior under load. It further explores the design principles that guide their application and integrates insights from contemporary research findings, offering a comprehensive overview of stone column utility in reinforcing soft grounds.
