    results from a series of laboratory model tests on unreinforced and geogrid-reinforced sand bed resting on stone column-improved soft clay have been presented. the diameter of stone column and footing has been taken as 50 mm and 100 mm, respectively for all the model tests carried out. load was applied to the soil bed through the footing until the total settlement reached at least 20% of footing diameter. as compared to unimproved soft clay, the increase in load-carrying capacity under different improved ground conditions has been observed. influences of the thickness of unreinforced as well as geogrid-reinforced sand bed and the size of geogrid reinforcement on the performance of stone column-improved soft clay bed have also been investigated. significant improvement in load-carrying capacity of soft soil is observed due to the placement of sand bed over stone column-improved soft clay. the inclusion of geogrid layer within sand bed further increases the load-carrying capacity and decreases the settlement of the soil. due to the placement of sand bed, the bulge diameter of stone column reduces while the depth of bulge increases. further reduction in the bulge diameter and increase in bulge depth are observed due to application of geogrid layer. the optimum thickness of unreinforced sand bed is twice the optimum thickness of geogrid-reinforced sand bed. under specific material properties and test conditions, it is further observed that the optimum diameter of geogrid layer is thrice the diameter of footing.
