인조 잔디 테니스장 흙의 지반공학적 특성 연구 = Geotechnical properties of soils used for artificial grass tennis courts

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The use of artificial grass tennis courts is increasing because of easiness of maintenance and quick drainage. Silica sand is sprayed over the court to aid the grass to stand upright for allowing quick drainage and similar ball rebound with clays. Even though many artificial grass tennis courts are used in Daejeon, different soil types are used for the court. It is observed that the drainage time after rainfall is different depending on soil types used for the artificial grass tennis courts. Soil laboratory tests are performed and compared for the soils collected from 3 different tennis courts. According to the test, all soils from 3 tennis courts contained finer soils including silts and clays than those regulated by specifications. The range of particle diameters of silica sands and allowable percentages of fine soils should be suggested from the future study.
