Abstract
The densification phenomenon in dry or completely drained sands is mainly due to the application of dynamic loading, like an earthquake or other kind of vibrations. This fact causes a reduction of voids volume and in a consequence the compaction of the soil. A finite element model, including the generalized endochronic densification law, formulated in cylindrical coordinates, has been developed for simulating the vibroflotation soil improvement technique the numerical model. Punctual dynamic loadings, like those occurring in vibroflotation treatment, are reproduced in the code. There are several other vibration-compacting soil improvement techniques which could be modelled like an axi-symmetric problem with this new approach, which includes absorbent boundary conditions (silent boundaries).
