Utilization of Lateritic Soil to Make Fast and Bouncy Cricket Pitches
Abstract: Cricket pitch is a playing arena where soils are ideally packed. As cricket found its origin in England had seized the heart of the people and become an influential factor in controlling the economy of the world. A pattern of pitch was developed with soil, bentonite and aggregates to scrutinize their behaviors. Usually in asian subcontient pitches are slow and less bouncy. Inorder to generate a fast and bouncy pitch in india and to meet the current challenge. This paper reveals about the addition of calcium bentonite with locally available soil and generated a relationship between California bearing ratio with vertical bounce. This project tried to address this problem by investigating the possibility of improving the soils used in local cricket pitches in order to make them produce 'fast & bouncy' pitches.
Keywords: Lateritic soil, calcium bentonite, cbr, vertical bounce
