Abstract: Problematic soil which cause extra problems from engineering point of views which result in its composition or environmental conditions change. The weak subsoil deposits like soft clay pose the low bearing capacity and more settlements over long periods of time. The stone column technique is better, economical and cost-effective method of soft soil stabilization. They are used to support embankments, large raft foundations and isolated footings. Numerous researchers have just completed various vertical stacking probes stone column balanced out clay bed and have discovered that expands bearing capacity of delicate clay, diminishes displacement and changes the conduct of burden settlement. In the current study, a 2D finite element model is completed to evalute how the delicate clay soil balanced out by stone column are affected by the vertical burdens. Stone column were intended for examinations with fluctuating in their angle proportions (change in estimations of length, L and breadth, D) of stone column. The effect of floating stone column and end bearing stone segment on delicate clay is in like manner controlled by using various L/D ratios. Besides, the present outcomes express how the heap conveying limit of stone column is differed by changing in the angle proportions of the stone column. Likewise ends were drawn that bulging impact of stone column plays a vital role in conveying vertical burden.
