| Abstract/Contents: | States that excessive moisture in soils can lead to compaction. Describes the negative effects of compaction, and how amending soil with sand can help reduce some of these effects. Defines bearing capacity as "the ability of a soil to carry a load without failure." Discusses the angle of internal friction in sand. Mentions information which will be obtained from "a series of loading tests on existing putting green and athletic field surfaces." |
