Sl.No. Synosis Points
1 It covers the design methodology as well as the construction techniques for installation of stone columns. The scope is limited to the computation of allowable loads and settlements for wide spread loads. Stone columns may be adopted for improving the engineering properties of the soils containing fines more than 15 percent passing through 0.075 mm sieve. This ground improvement technique is used to, a) improve bearing capacity; b) improve stability of slopes; c) reduce settlements; d) accelerate consolidation process in saturated conditions; and e) mitigate liquefaction potential, if any.
2 In this revision of the standard, the following major modifications have been made: a) Definitions of various terms have been modified as per the prevailing engineering practice. b) Quality control and test requirements for prefabricated vertical drains have been incorporated. c) Smear effect has been included in design procedure. d) The factor of safety against possible slip or bearing failure has been reduced to 1.2 to be consistent with other Indian standards. e) Vacuum consolidation method has been included. f) Instrumentation and monitoring has been included.
