Abstract

This paper presents a validation of simplified design approach against a field study and a laboratory test. The design approach has been developed to predict drained settlement and the ultimate bearing capacity of stone columns supported foundation adopting a hyperbolic relationship to simulate the strain hardening behavior. The result of a plain footing load test is required to give two curve fitting parameters and then adapted them by introducing a reduction factor which take into account the length ratio and the area replacement ratio to predict the stress-strain characteristic of a stone column supported foundation. Good agreements are found when the predictions using the simplified approach are compared with the laboratory testing and field case study.
