| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study to "create an experimental design matrix of various sands [for golf green construction], determine friction angles for each of the six sands, determine the bearing capacity for each of the six sands, [and] develop trends relating grain size and gradation to friction angle and ulimate [ultimate] bearing capacity." The six sands were "made from commonly available construction sand (MDOT 2NS) which has a wide range of particle sizes. Three different gradations of sands were designed, a coarse, intermediate and fine. Each of these three classifications was again divided into a high coefficient of uniformity (C^D[u) and a low coefficient of uniformity (C^D[u)." Results indicate that "the root system adds strength and stiffness to the elastic and plastic properties of the root-zone sand. This additional strength and stiffness is most likely due to the tensile strength of the root system that reduces local shear failure within the root-zone sand." Also notes that "the short-term growing season of established root-zones have no effect on the stiffness of the putting green." |
