| Abstract/Contents: | Where sand/gravel slits are used on sports grounds it is important that the sand does not migrate downwards into the gravel otherwise the hydraulic conductivity of the gravel layer and the drainage capablilty of the whole system will be reduced. Field trials with slits containing ten different sands overlying a 4-10mm gravel showed that there was a considerable movement of particles when medium-fine sands (D50 <0.35 mm) were used. The other sands did not show significant migration into the gravel although there was some concern about potential movement from a very uniform, medium-coarse sand (D50 = 0.49 mm). Impregnation of a selection of silt drains using an epoxy resin containing a fluorescent dye confirmed the general findings from the field trial, although there was one instance in which a fine dune sand (D50 approximately 0.2mm) was placed over a 3-5mm drainage aggregate with very little sign of downward migration. It is suggested that for fine sands the moisture content of the sand when it is applied, and during use, is also and important factor in determining particle migration. |
