| Abstract/Contents: | Overviews several points related to sports field construction that are "necessary to consider in making the use of the in situ soil a success." Includes that "sand and soil cannot be adequately mixed on site," that "mixing must be based on particle size analysis of the sand and soil by an accredited laboratory," and that "the volume of sand and of soil must be based on calculations using the data obtained from the laboratory analysis." Provides a step by step illustration of the iterative procedure. |
