Observations of Plate Load Tests conducted on 12 locations in the coastal belt of central Kerala, India, to investigate the performance of soft soil improved by Floating Stone Compaction Pile (FSCP) groups are presented in this paper. The soil in the sites chosen was predominantly cohesive with low shear strength. FSCPs 100mm in diameter spaced at 300mm center-to-center, and constructed using 6 mm broken stones were installed to a depth of 5.0 m. The improvement in bearing capacity, Elastic Modulus, and Modulus of Subgrade reaction of the soil were evaluated after 6 months. From the results, it was seen that an average increase of 85% in modulus of subgrade reaction, 52% for bearing capacity, and 90% for elastic modulus was gained due to the installation of FSCPs. The additional cost involved for the installation of FSCPs is only around 2% of the total cost for the construction of the structure, proving the method to be a cost-effective option.
