Claim 0:
1. A method for vibrating-in a foundation into a building ground by initiating vibrations generated by means of a vibrating device attached to the foundation, the vibrations causing liquefaction of the building ground so that the foundation penetrates the building ground,
wherein the rate of penetration of the foundation into the building ground is controlled and/or regulated by varying a liquefaction zone of the building ground directly surrounding the foundation, wherein the rate of penetration is varied by varying the size of the liquefaction zone,
wherein
means for detecting the rate of penetration are provided, which detect whether the penetration advancement of the foundation is slowed down by increasing an effective mass of the foundation and/or enlarging the liquefaction zone, wherein the penetration progress detection means detect one or more insertion parameters, wherein the effective mass of the foundation is increased and decreased during the penetration into the building ground by means of pumping liquid from the interior or into the interior of the foundation.
