Drainage is one of the important anti-liquefaction functions of stone column，but there are few applications of anti-liquefaction based on drainage function in domestic engineering industry，and theoretical research and engineering experience are insufficient. This paper reviews the development history of anti-liquefaction based on drainage theory，summarizes the key points of different scholars’ anti-liquefaction based on drainage theory，and points out that the unfavorable well resistance must be considered in the methods of anti-liquefaction based on drainage. A port project in a high-seismicity area has successfully solved the liquefaction by using stone columns as their drainage function. The design program and calculation method of stone column in this project are introduced in detail. The method for determining the particle size gradation of stone column materials is summarized. The advantages and disadvantages of different stone column processes are compared，and the quality inspection methods for stone column of anti-liquefaction based on drainage theory are proposed.
