Abstract

The aim of this work is to evaluate a relation between the amount of energy dissipated per unit volume of soil by a vibratory compaction and an actual measure of improvement, i.e. increase in the cone stress and sleeve friction for different soil types. The work consists of a well-documented case history of a recently completed densification project, where a total of approximately one million m ³ of loose dredged hydraulic fill was vibro compacted against liquefaction. A strict and comprehensive quality control program was pursued in the Project. The successful execution of works illustrates the effectiveness of the selected method.
