N2 - The behaviour of Vibro Replacement stone columns has yet to be captured fully by analytical or numerical means, and predicting stone column performance in soft cohesive soils brings specific challenges. In this paper, a new database of settlement improvement factors is developed, drawn from both published and unpublished data. The database illustrates that the improvement is generally predicted quite well by Priebe's (1995) basic improvement factor. Moreover, the extent of improvement reflects the construction method, with the preferred dry bottom feed system performing consistently better than other column construction systems.
