Vibrocompaction on sandy-silty bottom in Mykonos
 Vibratory
Heads (BAUER TR-13 and TR-85)
-
 Lifting of the vibratory head for positioning on sandy bottom
-
 Lifting of the 23 metre long torpedo shaft
 Crater formed on the sandy-silty bottom after removal of vibrocompacting
torpedo head. Visible in this picture is a complex vegetation and root network, which
notably impaired the effectiveness of the vibrocompaction method for the density increase
of the silty bottom.
-
 Craters formed after application of
vibrocompaction on the sea bottom. The triangular pattern was introduced measuring
2.0x2.0x2.0 m. for better results. Also visible in this picture is a "blanket"
of crushed stone replacing the extracted material from the crater (vibroreplacement), as
it was later introduced for amplification of the vibratory effect by adhering onto the
torpedo head and thus propagating the vibratory action more efficiently to the sandy
bottom.
