| Abstract/Contents: | "The ever increasing intensity of traffic on sport fields and race courses has necessitated the construction of high- sand root zones in order to minimize serious soil compaction and turf rooting problems. Investigations have been under way at Texas A&M University since 1985 concerning the feasibility of using a randomly oriented, interlocking mesh element system for the stabilization of high-sand root zones in order to increase the traffic tolerance characteristics." |
