| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study to "determine if a simple, inexpensive and quantitative procedure can be used to give a reliable estimate of sand shape without having to examine individual grains" and to "determine the effect of sand shape on the physical properties of rootzone sands and whether particle size distributions of USGA rootzone sands should be modified to account for differences in sand shape." Computer imaging was used to determine sand shape and to "compare sphericity ratings for samples of angular, sub-angular, sub-rounded, and rounded sands" and a "cubical triaxial tester was used with the four sands to measure bulk mechanical behavior and how it relates to grain surface texture." Results showed "substantial differences between the sands with the sub-round sand having the best compaction resistance. The angular sand was the most compressible with the round and sub-angular materials being intermediate." Notes that "the sub-round and sub-angular sands had the best combination resistance and strength." |
