Vibro-compaction is a ground improvement technique that can be used to transfer structural loads to suitable levels in poor ground conditions. The effect of vibration consolidates and strengthens the ground, helping to compact non-cohesive soils such as sand that would otherwise be unsuitable for construction.

There are four types of compaction effort on soil or asphalt: Vibration Impact Kneading Pressure Soil Compaction Soil compaction is defined as the method of mechanically increasing the density of soil. In construction, this is a significant part of the building process. …
soil compaction and ground improvement Shallow Compaction: Mechanical compaction is the process of densifying (i.e., compacting) loose (unconsolidated) soils through repeated passes by mechanical equipment (e.g., drum/sheepsfoot rollers, vibrating plate compactors, etc.).
D.R Known sometimes as Dynamic Sand Columns, it is a soil Improvement technique and can be considered as an extension of Dynamic Compaction to the non compressible soils like soft clays, silt, sabkha….Dynamic Sand Columns method combines the advantages from both Read more
The present study investigates the improvement in the bearing capacity of silty clay soil with thin sand layer on top and placing geogrids at different depths. Model tests were performed for a rectangular footing resting on top of the soil to establish the load versus settlement curves of unreinforced and reinforced soil system. The test results focus on the improvement in bearing capacity of ...
The sand compaction pile method (hereinafter abbreviated as the SCP method) is a method for improving soft grounds by means of installing well-compacted sand piles in the ground. It combines such fundamental principles for ground improvement as densification and drainage.
Dynamic compaction of Soil. Dynamic compaction is a ground improvement technique in which a drop weight is used to densify the soils and fill materials. The drop weight is typically made of steel and is lifted by a crane and repeatedly dropped onto the ground surface.
It is a simple ground improvement method, where the soil is compact through external compaction effort. Soil compaction is the process of applying external energy to a loose soil to consolidate it and remove air voids from the soil and thereby improving the physical properties of the soil.

(Fudo Construction Co., Ltd. Japan) ABSTRACT The Sand Compaction Pile (SCP) method is the most useful counte rmeasure against liquefaction in Ja pan.
The current depth record lies at 70 meters for reclaimed sands and at 53 meters for naturally deposited sands. The intensity of compaction can be varied in order to achieve the desired effect depending on the foundation or ground improvement purpose. Compaction effects. The sand and gravel particles rearrange into a denser state
