Abstract: This research conducts a thorough examination of how the length vs diameter ratio affects the Behavioral study of settlement in floating stone columns under loading conditions, Derived from a comprehensive set of experimental investigations. The experiments were meticulously designed to evaluate the load-settlement behavior for stone columns with varying length to diameter ratio of 0 to 6. The detailed experimental results indicate that an increase in the length to diameter ratio improves the Capacity to withstand applied forces of floating stone columns up to an optimal point, after which additional length has minimal impact on performance. These outcomes offer important guidance for geotechnical engineering applications, especially in ground improvement techniques involving stone columns.
