This book consist of advance techniques which helps to modification of ground.Vibro-stone column (VSC) is one among the foremost commonly used ground improvement techniques worldwide. It provides a column-soil composite to strengthen soft ground; increasing the bearing capacity and improving the settlement characteristics. The performance of the VSC depends on the quality of aggregates used and the interaction with the surrounding soil. The overall mechanism is understood. However, the impact of installation methods used and the choice of aggregates to form the columns are still unknown which can result in short and long-term failures of the columns.
