Embankment supported on soft soil with lime column is analyzed. The lime column is modeled using a two noded plane frame element with three degrees of freedom (DOF) (two transnational and one rotational), whereas the soil stress- strain behavior is presumed to be non-lining and modeled by a Cam-Clay model. The properties of lime column is obtained from a stress- strain curve obtained from a laboratory test. It is concluded from the study that addition of lime column in soft soil reduces the settlement after the construction.
