Abstract – This research examined the ground improvement technique for enhancing the load-bearing capacity and enhancing of weak or compressible soils. In this study, we focus on how we minimize the cost of ground improvement and make environment friendly solution for ground improvement. The research involves a review of the existing literature, including the Objectives, methodology, and case studies related to stone column implementation. Laboratory testing and field investigations are conducted to assess the geotechnical properties of the soil and the behavior of stone columns under different loading conditions. The project aims to provide insights into the geotechnical behavior of stone columns and their effectiveness in stabilizing weak soils. Furthermore, the study will explore the economic and environmental aspects of this ground improvement technique. The findings of this research are expected to contribute valuable knowledge to the field of geotechnical engineering, assisting engineers and construction professionals in making informed decisions regarding ground improvement methods.
