Abstract

Cochin marine clay is usually associated with substantial difficulties, since these soils are sensitive to deformation and possess very small shear strength, which may lead to structural damages during the execution and throughout the lifetime of any structure. The foundations require strengthening of soil to carry the loads imposed over soft strata. Out of several techniques available for improving the load carrying capacity of soft clay strata, stone columns are ideally suited for structures with widespread loads with higher permissible settlements. Cementing agents are used in the pores of granular piles to improve the load-carrying capacity of soft soils. This paper presents the results of studies made on the influence of cementing agents such as cement, lime, flyash, and their combinations on load carrying capacity of soft soils.
