Vibrocompaction

Vibrocompaction is a ground improvement technique used to strengthen loose or soft soils, particularly granular soils like sand and gravel. It involves inserting a slender tube into the ground and then vibrating it intensely. The vibrations cause the soil particles to settle more closely together, increasing the soil's density and stability. This process enhances the soil's load-bearing capacity, reduces settlement over time, and makes it more suitable for construction foundations. Vibrocompaction is commonly used in preparing sites for buildings, bridges, and other structures to ensure safety and longevity.
