| Abstract | ||
| This experimental study was conducted to demonstrate the relationship between the bearing improvement ratio (which is defined as the ratio between the bearing capacity of the soil treated with stone column to the bearing capacity of untreated soil at the same settlement level ) or (qtreated/quntreated) and the area replacement ratio (which is defined as the ratio between the area of cross-section of stone column and the area of soil surrounding it). The investigation was carried out using model tests of stone column with different diameters (20, 30, 50 and 60 mm) or area replacement ratio (Ar) (0.042, 0.099, 0.333 and 0.563) performed inside the container with dimensions of 240 mm x 240 mm and in height of 260 mm. The undrained shear strength of the soil prepared in the containers ranged from 11 kPa to 22 kpa The study showed that the bearing improvement ratio were 1.16, 1.29, 1.64 and 2.29 for the soil having (cu = 16 kPa) treated with stone columns of (Ar = 0.042, 0.099, 0.333 and 0.563) respectively. | ||
