| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses an experiment conducted "to determine the amount of silt and clay that can be added to a well-graded sand in order to increase its strength without severely reducing its hydraulic conductivity." Results indicate that "water content at compaction in interaction with percent silt+clay was extremely influential in determining hydraulic conductivity. The mix containing 5% silt+clay had a hydraulic conductivity value exceeding 10 in/hr when compacted dry (5% water content), but hydraulic conductivity was reduced to less than 2 in/hr when compacted wet (13% water content). The mixes containing 10% silt+clay or less were the only mixes acceptable, in terms of drainage (6-8 in/hr), for an athletic field, but only when compacted at 5% water content or less. All of these results indicate the importance of using a dry root zone mix during field construction (5% water content or less), if the root zone material contains more than 2 percent silt+clay." |
