Cohesive, mixed and layered soils generally do not densify easily when subjected to vibration alone. The Vibro-Replacement Stone Column technique was developed specifically for these soils, effectively extending the range of soil types that can be improved with the deep vibratory process. With Vibro-Replacement Stone Columns, columns of dense, crushed stone are designed to increase bearing capacity, reduce settlement, aid densification and mitigate the potential for liquefaction, and improve shear resistance.

This is the most commonly used and most cost-efficient of the deep vibratory methods. However, handling of the spoil generated by the process may make this method more difficult to use on confined sites or in environmentally sensitive areas.
