Vibro Floatation

•In 1930, Granular soil densification was adopted in

Germany using vibro pile.

•Today, Vibro floatation is used to densified cohesive

soil by compacting granular materials in a hole

formed by vibro.

•Hole is formed with the combination of vibro load,

vibration and air/water injection.

•Sometimes is called vibro replacement or stone

column.

•Vibro is also used for deep compaction for granular

soil (fines <15%)
