  2. Vibro stone column - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibro_stone_column

    The vibrating probe breaks down the pores of the surrounding soil, thereby densifying the soil. The stone that is poured in takes the place of the soil and keeps up the pressure on the soil that was created by the vibrating probe. The stone consists of crushed coarse aggregates of various sizes. The ratio in which the stones of different sizes ...

  3. Stone–Čech compactification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stone–Čech_compactification

    The Stone–Čech compactification of the topological space X is a compact Hausdorff space βX together with a continuous map i X : X → βX that has the following universal property: any continuous map f : X → K, where K is a compact Hausdorff space, extends uniquely to a continuous map βf : βX → K, i.e. (βf)i X = f.

  5. Bretonstone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bretonstone

    Bretonstone, also known as vibro-compression under vacuum, is a formerly-patented technology [2] [3] invented in the early-1970s [citation needed] by Breton S.p.A. [4]Nowadays most manufacturers of engineered stone use similar technology, typically involving quartz and a resin binder combined under vacuum, and compressed under heat into a desired form such as a countertop slab.

  6. Soil liquefaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_liquefaction

    Mitigation methods have been devised by earthquake engineers and include various soil compaction techniques such as vibro compaction (compaction of the soil by depth vibrators), dynamic compaction, and vibro stone columns. [24] These methods densify soil and enable buildings to avoid soil liquefaction. [25]

  8. Concretion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concretion

    Concretions are often ovoid or spherical in shape, although irregular shapes also occur. The word concretion is borrowed from Latin concretio ' (act of) compacting, condensing, congealing, uniting ', itself derived from concrescere ' to thicken, condense, congeal ', from con-' together ' and crescere ' to grow '. [2]

  9. Deep foundation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_foundation

    The typical construction process for a wind turbine subsea monopile foundation in sand includes driving a large hollow steel pile, of some 4 m in diameter with approximately 50mm thick walls, some 25 m deep into the seabed, through a 0.5 m layer of larger stone and gravel to minimize erosion around the pile.
