| Abstract/Contents: | "Constructing athletic fields on a sand base allows for more rapid drainage; however lateral shear strength and traffic tolerance tends to not be as good as that of a native soil field. Hybrid turf systems were developed that combine turfgrass with synthetic fibers that are able to improve lateral shear strength. Hybrid systems are used on sports fields ranging from practice fields to competition fields all over the globe. Previous stabilization systems included fibers that were shorter than the intended height of cut of the turfgrass. The purpose of this study is to test a new system which has the natural turf maintained at the same height as the synthetic fibers. The projects main goal is to compare two hybrid turf systems constructed in combination with two different types of sand (round vs angular), and three turf species to determine which leads to the highest performance for elite level soccer matches, while also keeping player safety in mind. The secondary goal is to achieve a surface hardness, as measured via Gmax, which ensures player safety. Measurements taken to achieve these goals will include Gmax, traffic, establishment, quality, soil moisture and sheer strength. All measurements and data will be taken at the projects field site at the OTF research facility over the course of two years. By achieving these goals, elite level soccer teams will be able to have both safer fields and higher levels of player performance on more sustainable hybrid turf fields." |
