ABSTRACT
Static analysis of the deep vibration compaction: In this chapter the complicated dynamic processes during vibration are neglected, in order to attain a first understanding of the deep vibration compaction. The change of density around an expanding cylindrical cavity is analysed. The expansion is simulated first with monotonic displacement of the cavity boundary and then with cyclic internal pressure. All computations are done with finite elements. The soil is described by a hypoplastic constitutive law.
