This paper deals with the consolidation of soft soil generated by the installation of stone columns. The proposed study is based on a laboratory approach. The results put into evidence the role of the installation mode, by repulsion or by substitution of the soil, as well as the compaction force, on the efficiency of the reinforcement.
