The main objectives of this method is to increase soil strength and pore water drainage rate in surrounding soils, considering higher permeability of stone column materials. Different researchers have studied the effects of using stone columns on reducing liquefaction potential. Generally, these studies can be classified as numerical and experimental studies. Considering the fact that interactions between stone column and soil are tridimensional, the aim of present study is numerical investigation of application of current method in decreasing liquefaction potential.
