N Ramu, P Prem Narayan

Bearing capacity is the important factor in the construction of buildings. There are many trending methods which are used to improve the bearing capacity of soft clay. One such method is stone column technique. Now a day’s most of industries and buildings are being constructed away from city limits i.e. in the agricultural lands, ponds etc. This technique is very helpful in construction of buildings in soft clay and agricultural lands. Industrial wastes such as quarry waste, bagasse ash, silica fume are widely used. In this paper, a review of researchers about the industrial waste is being presented.
