Vibrocompaction, established in 1936 in Germany, is one of the earliest and most effective dynamic deep compaction methods. This technique significantly enhances the compaction of non-cohesive soils, yielding superior results. The process involves densifying soil using deep vibration probes, either single or double, which are suspended from a crane. Soil densification is quantified by the settlement observed at the ground surface, while increases in bearing capacity are evaluated through zone load tests. Further assessment of soil property improvements is conducted using Cone Penetration Tests (CPT) before and after compaction.

During vibrocompaction, points are strategically chosen in either triangular or square patterns to comprehensively improve the targeted area. The process utilizes a cylindrical vibrator that oscillates horizontally, typically suspended from a crane. These vibrators, ranging from 15–40 kN in weight, 30–50 cm in diameter, and 2–5 m in length, reach the desired depth through extension tubes. These tubes also house supply pipes for water and, optionally, air to assist the ground penetration process. The resulting settlement from this compaction can vary from 5% to 15% of the compaction depth, depending on the initial soil density and the desired level of compaction. Detailed technical descriptions and further information on vibrocompaction can be found in specialized literature.
