Abstract: Lime-soil compacted column is one of the most effective methods for treating the collapsible loess soils. The compacted columns have the advantage of minimizing the potential settlement after wetting of the loess; reducing the differential settlements; and improving the bearing capacity of the columnsoil composite ground for foundations. The case study in this paper demonstrates the feasibility and the effectiveness of this soil improvement method.

Key words: Lime-soil Compacted Column, Collapsible Loess, Composite Ground for Foundations
