Vibratory stone columns, also known as vibro stone columns, vibro replacement stone columns, vibro-piers, or aggregate piers, are compacted columns of aggregate that are installed through existing soils to improve the geotechnical properties of the soil matrix. The stone columns consist of a series of vertical lifts of compacted aggregate from a …
