I am looking for different treatment methods to densify silt soils up to 10-15 m. I assume vibrofloation methods are only applicable to sands. but not for silt.
Offshore methods would also be helpful.
Thank you.
 
Treatment type depends on some factors such as (locally available equipment, target soil bearing capacity , budget ..
I would consider one of the following improvement methods ;
- Stone columns ,
- Wick drain,
- Jet grouting ,
- Preloading .
