| Abstract/Contents: | "Sand rootzones provide free-draining playing surfaces for football but may become unstable especially when grass cover is lost. One approach to this problem is isotropic stabilisation of the rootzone using randomly orientated tensile inclusions (Netlon mesh elements). A field plot experiment is described, incorporating three rates of mesh element inclusion plus an unreinforced control, i.e.: 0, 2.5, 3.75 and 5 kg of elements m-3 of sand; two sizes of elements (50 mm x 50 mm and 50 mm x 100 mm); together with the addition of either normal mature turf or turf which had been washed to remove adhering soil. Artificial wear treatments were carried out during the football season and data were collected before, during and after wear on: grass ground cover, football rebound resilience, traction, hardness and water infiltration rate. Water inflitration rate was found to increase with increasing mesh element inclusion rate and effects were also observed on traction and hardness, increasing mesh element rate also improving these aspects of playing quality. Turf washing was found to increase water infiltration rate and also affected traction, hardness and ball rebound resilience." |
