| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study "to determine the amount of silt and clay that can be added to a well-graded sand to increase its strength without severely reducing hydraulic conductivity." Results indicate that "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. Fortunately, the mix containing 10% silt + clay had twice the bearing capacity of 2% silt + clay when compacted at 5% water content or less. The results indicated 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% silt + clay. The additional water content at compaction severely reduces water percolation." Also presents a field study in progress "to determine how the establishment of turfgrass and the application of traffic affect the hydraulic conductivity of the sand-soil mixes over time." States that "data will be discussed on the date of presentation." |
