Description
The treatment and reinforcement of soils with the replacement and vibration method (vibro replacement) is one of the compaction techniques, through which friable or weak soils are improved with the aim of being used as a supporting base for foundations. With replacement and vibration improvement the benefits and results that can be achieved guarantee the required behavior of the foundation base. This paper presents the works made for the construction of gravel piles in the plot located in the port of Durrës, Albania. The reinforcement with ballast piles is carried out to reduce consolidation subsidence and to avoid liquefaction that is present in this construction site. It also confirms the increase in bearing capacity of the slab foundation after the realization of the reinforcement with gravel piles in the mentioned area of this project.
