High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Vibro replacement stone columns are a ground improvement technique to improve the load bearing capacity of the soil. On many occasions, it is noted that the local soil is by nature, unable to bear the proposed structure. Hence the use of ground improvement techniques may be necessitated. Use of stone columns is one such technique. The stone column consists of crushed coarse aggregates of various sizes. The ratio in which the stones of different sizes will be mixed is decided by design criteria. The aforementioned crushed aggregates in the definite proportion are to be placed into the soil at regular intervals throughout the area of the land where the soil bearing capacity is to be improved. This is done either by using the dry or the wet top feed vibrators which are forced into the ground. The aggregates are then allowed to take the place of the displaced soil which exerts a pressure on the surrounding soil hence helping to improve the soil's load bearing capacity.
