Good Vibrations: Vibrocompaction Technique Used to Stabilize Northern Minnesota Landslide

摘要

During the summer of 2002, after completion of the remedial work, Brainerd experienced a record storm and rainfall event in which over 7 inches of rain fell during a four day period; significantly more than that which fell at the time of the original landslide movement. The vibrocompacted soil held without any new detectable slope movement, and the remediation work has since performed as intended.
