| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study with the following objectives: "1. Create an experimental design matrix of various sands. 2. Determine friction angles for each of six sands. 3. Detemine [Determine] the bearing capacity for each of six sands. 4. Develop a model relating grain size and gradation to friction angle and ultimate bearing capacity." Results indicate that "pressure increases, with increasing displacement, were highest for the confined lab bearing test and lowest for the field bearing test." Also states "that the confined lab bearing test yields the greatest stiffness and the field bearing test yields the lowest stiffness." This five-year study began in 1996. |

| USGA Summary Points: | Researchers applied civil engineerng principals to the evaluation of sands. Field test show that firmness of greens depends on soil properties and thatch layer effects. Recommendations will likely show needed adjustments to specifications that allow more particles in the 0.05-0.25 mm range to increase stiffness and resistance to deformation. |
