Abstract

Road stabilization and reinforcement is one of the key and practical issues in in road transportation system, which due to reducing financial and life risks are necessary matter.  Use of efficient and cost effective approaches for stabilizing earth slopes is a crucial matter. Due to Road growth, stabilizing of endanger sites and insuring its safety is one of the basic concerns for engineers. With regard to regional condition, site importance, economical status, and many other factors, using common methods of stabilizing are diverse. One of these appropriate approaches for reinforcing earth slopes is the use of stone columns. Using stone columns, which, besides its simplicity and comfort implementation, is also very economical in comparison with other available methods. The object of this research is presentation of experimentally and numerically investigation of soil bearing capacity enhancement by stone column, and compare the results with unreinforced sits, and also other studies about using stone columns in increasing bearing capacities mention in this paper.
