  2. Vibro stone column - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibro_stone_column

    This method of ground improvement is also called vibro replacement. Such techniques increase the load bearing capacity and drainage of the soil while reducing settlement and liquefaction potential. Stone columns are made across the area to be improved in a triangular or rectangular grid pattern.
