| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study "to determine the mechanical behavior of four rootzone sands having different shapes with and without peat," and "to determine how moisture content (under 30 cm of tension) affects the mechanical behavior of the rootzones." Some of the results reported include: "Sub-round sand has the best compaction resistance...In regards to soil strength, at lower pressures, the subround sand was the strongest, while the round sand was weakest...Overall, the sub-round and sub-angular sands had the best combination of compaction resistance and strength...Dry samples had higher initial bulk density compared to the wet samples...Shear values of wet samples were lower than the dry samples." This one-year study began in 2000. |

| USGA Summary Points: | Sub-round sand has the best compaction resistance. The angular sand was the most compressible with the round and sub-angular materials being intermediate. In regards to soil strength, at lower pressures, the subround sand was strongest, while the round sand was weakest. At higher pressure, it was the angular sand and sub-rounded sand with the highest strength. Overall, the sub-round and sub-angular had the best combination of compacton resistance and strength. Dry samples had higher initial bulk density compared to the wet samples. Wet samples have greater volumetric strain compared to dry samples. Shear values of wet samples were lower than dry samples. Dry samples exhibited brittle-type behavior, whereas wet samples exhibited ductile-like response. |
