| Abstract/Contents: | "This paper deals specifically with the system that incorporates randomly orientated mesh elements blended with a selected growing medium, in order to illustrate the properties and characteristics of reinforced turf. In the case of sand root zones using this sytem, the sand particles interlock within the mesh apertures. The effect is to impart a mechanical cohesion to the sand, increasing stability and shear strength. The elements are made from polypropylene selected for durability and flexural stiffness." |
