columns by thickness
This is the only thing that makes sense to me, given the sparse context.
Stone columns are used to improve subsurface soil conditions for foundations of structures, in this case apparently a dam. The thicknesses required for finished stone columns may vary according to soil type, consolidation/density. water content, and other factors.
If you can provide any more context, it might help reduce the uncertainty around this.
