This review delves into the behaviour of stone columns, a prominent ground improvement technique, using the finite element method (FEM) with the PLAXIS 2D software. The study entails a thorough examination of stone column performance, considering various factors that influence their behaviour within the context of layered soil systems. Through a detailed literature analysis, this review aims to provide insights into the effectiveness of stone columns (SC) in enhancing soil load-bearing capacity and reducing differential settlement. The review contributes to a better understanding of the applicability and performance of SC as a solution for soil reinforcement.
