This study experimentally analyzed the effect of L/B ratio of stone columns on the bearing capacity and settlement of sandy soil. Model tests were conducted with a square footing and single stone column with L/B ratios of 0.5, 1, 2, 2.5, and 3. The results showed that the minimum relative settlement corresponded to an L/B ratio of 2.5, which also had the highest bearing capacity of 318 kN/m2. Increasing the L/B ratio beyond 2.5 did not significantly improve the bearing capacity. Thus, the optimal L/B ratio for a single stone column was determined to be 2.5 based on minimizing settlement and maximizing capacity.
