Behaviour of Foundations Supported by Clay Stabilised by Stone Columns
Despite the widespread use of stone columns, present design methods are largely based on empirical data or simplified concepts of the action of the columns. In this report solutions are presented which provide a basis for more rational design methods. A finite element loading path method is briefly described which enables the load-settlement response of a single isolated stone column to be computed. This method of analysis is used to reproduce the results from a previously published field loading test. An examination is then made of the behavior of clay stabilized by large numbers of stone columns installed in a regular array over an extensive area. An analytical solution is presented for estimating the settlement of a clay layer reinforced by fully penetrating stone columns and loaded by a rigid raft.
