Construction of structures over soft cohesive soil is a challenging task due to its large settlement and insufficient load bearing capacity. This research work aims to use the idea of placing micropiled-raft foundation on a stone column improved soft soil layer. Initially, stone column was used to reduce the settlement and stabilize the soft soil layer upon which micropiled-raft foundation was constructed to enhance the load carrying capacity. To achieve the objective, a 1mx1m test tank having height of 1 m was filled with soft cohesive soil. A series of vertical load tests were conducted on different patterns as follows: (i) 150 mm square raft, (ii) single stone column of diameter 35 mm and 210 mm length under the raft, (iii) single micropile of 20 mm diameter and 480 mm length, gravity grouted with cement grout, reinforced with 6 mm steel bar under the raft, (iv) four micropile under the raft, (v) four micropiled-raft foundations above the stone column improved soil. The load-settlement graphs were plotted for all the experiments and ultimate load carrying capacity were determined. The results indicate that the load carrying capacity of the single stone column and four micropiled-raft foundation improved soil increased by 45.45% and 154.54% respectively and the reduction in settlement was observed to be 47.54% and 68.85% correspondingly compared to the raft alone. The improvement of load carrying capacity and reduction in settlement for four micropiled-raft foundations with stone column improved soil was observed to be 121.87% and 70% respectively compared to the single stone column with raft foundation. The load improvement ratio was determined corresponding to the settlements of 10, 20, 30, and 40 mm. The settlement reduction factor was calculated with respect to loads of 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8 kN. The load-sharing ratio among raft, micropile, and stone column was also evaluated and represented graphically.
