The use of deep vibratory methods for the improvement of bearing capacity, settlement reduction and liquefaction mitigation of weak soils that are unsuitable as foundation for offshore structures dates back over more than 50 years. During this long period of application, a lot of experience was gained with this technology and enormous progress was achieved pushing forward boundaries and limitations for its application. The continuous development has been experienced not only regarding design methods and standards, but also equipment to carry them out in practice. In the last decade, the special features of vibro-replacement have been used in numerous offshore and port projects in Latin America. This paper deals with selected details of some of those projects, and describes the capability of vibro-replacement method to meet the typical requirements for port projects. Based on those case histories, the general framework for the design and execution of vibro-replacement aimed to carry out rehabilitation and expansion of port projects are outlined, with special emphasis on the impact of life cycle of the projects according to different seismic conditions and specific technical requirements
