Abstract: Stone columns are frequently used as a method of reinforcing soft ground as they provide increased bearing capacity and reduce foundation settlements. This paper represents an overview of sustainability approaches followed by their performance in relation to bearing capacity is well documented, but there is also a need for enhanced understanding of their settlement characteristics, particularly in relation to small-group configurations. Improving the soil strength for more durability of the building is necessary. Nowadays this technique of stone filled column is very much in need and useful as the soil profile will be enhanced with introducing the granular pile. In this work we aim in increasing the bearing strength of clayey soil by introducing the geogrid encased stone column filled with stone, M-sand, and coconut shell. This study aims towards sustainable development. Also, in this paper the response of the stone filled column towards the settlement of soil is analyses by an experimental study. For a detailed comparative study, we have observed the performance of stone column in two different cases with the clay medium and the same is presented in the paper.
