Definition

A ground‑improvement technique for loose, cohesionless granular soils in which a vibrating probe (vibroflot or similar) is inserted to the target depth and energy is applied laterally and vertically so that particles rearrange into a denser packing, thereby increasing relative density, stiffness and bearing capacity and reducing settlement potential.
