| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study with the following objectives: "1. Create an experimental design matrix of various sands [for golf greens]. 2. Determine friction angles for each of the six sands. 3. Determine the bearing capacity for each of the six sands. 4. Develop trends relating grain size and gradation to friction angle and ultimate bearing capacity." Discusses a comparison of field bearing and laboratory bearing tests. States that "the ultimate bearing capacity for the confined lab bearing test is approximately 198 psi, occurring at a vertical displacement of 0.15 inches. The field bearing test results shows no peak value failure and does not reach a specific ultimate strength." Also discusses the impacts of soil stiffness on ultimate bearing capacity. This five-year study began in 1996. |
