Abstract Aseries of in-situ tests and ground water level measurements with stone and slug materials had been conducted to find out effect of ground settlement reduction and bearing capacity improvement by the Stone Column method. As the result of the tests, it was proved that the Stone Column method is effective for reduction of ground settlement and improvement of bearing capacity. In addition the ground water level went down without overburden load. These results show that the Stone Column method is effective for an increase in density and resistance to liquefaction. The results of estimation of ground settlement and bearing capacity by general theoretical equation, it show that the Stone Column method increases bearing capacity by 2.7~5.7 times and decreases ground settlement by 2~3.5 times.
