Stone columns, locally called "GCP (granular compaction pile)" can be used to improve strength and resistance against lateral movement of a foundation soil like rigid piles and piers. Also installation of such a discrete column facilitates drainage, and densifies and reinforces the soil in the sense of ground improvement. The integrity of the GCP has been indirectly controlled with the records of each batch including depth and the quantity of stone filled. An integrity testing was attempted using crosshole S-wave logging. The method is conceptionally same as the crosshole sonic logging (CSL) for drilled piers. The only and critical difference is that S-wave should be used in the logging, because P-wave velocity of the stone column is less than that of ground water. The crosshole sonic logger does not have the capability to measure S-wave propagating through the skeleton of crushed stone. An electro-mechanical source, which can generate either P- or SH-waves, and a 1-D geophone were used to measure SH-waves. Two 76mm diameter cased boreholes were installed 1 meter apart across the nominal 700mm diameter stone column. At every 10cm of depth, shear wave was measured across the stone column. One more borehole was also installed 1 meter outward from the one of the above boreholes to measure the shear wave profile of the surrounding soil. The diametric variation of the stone column with respect to depth was evaluated from the shear wave arrival times across the stone column, and shear wave velocities of crushed stone and surrounding soil. The volume calculated with these variational diameters is very close to the actual quantity of the stone filled.

An integrity testing for stone columns was attempted using crosshole S-wave logging. The method is conceptionally quite similar to the crosshole sonic logging (CSL) for drilled piers. The critical difference in the logging is the use of s-wave rather than p-wave, which is used in CSL, because s-wave is the only wave sensing the stiffness of slower unbounded materials than water. An electro-mechanical source, which can generate reversed S-wave signals, was utilized in the logging. The stone column was delineated from the S-wave travel times across the stone column, and taking S-wave velocities of the crushed stone and surrounding soil into account. The volume calculated from the diametrical variance delineated is very close to the actual quantity of the stone filled.

S-파 크로스홀 검측을 이용하여 쇄석말뚝의 건전도를 평가하였다. 이 평가 기법은 현장타설말뚝의 크로스홀 초음파 검측(CSL)과 개념적으로 유사하다. 이 기법의 주요한 차이점은 CSL에서는 P-파를 사용하나 이 기법에서는 S-파를 이용한다는 사실이다. 그 이유는 S-파만이 물보다 느린 매질의 강성을 감지할 수 있는 유일한 탄성파이기 때문이다. 양방향 S-파를 생성할 수 있는 전기-기계식 발진자를 사용하여 검측을 수행하였다. 이 쇄석말뚝의 형상을 말뚝을 통과하는 S-파 도달시간, 쇄석과 주변지반의 S-파속도 주상도를 이용하여 재생하였다. 쇄석의 S-파속도 주상도는 쇄석의 내부마찰각 및 정지토압계수로 산출하는 것이 타당한 것으로 확인되었다. 쇄석말뚝의 직경 산정은 이 내부마찰각과 토압계수에 크게 영향을 받지 않는다.
