Abstract:The vibro stone column (VSC) technique is a ground improvement method used to enhance the load-bearing capacity. This paper provides an overview of the VSC technique and its application in railway trackbed stabilization (TBS). The VSC technique involves installing columns of good quality stone into the soil using a vibrating probe, creating both a strong column and radial stiffening of the adjacent compressed soil; a composite ground improvement system. The paper discusses the benefits of the VSC technique, su… Show more
