       Notes - general: The report reviews data available from both laboratory
                        and field trials relating to the durability of glass
                        fibre reinforced plastic straps ('Fibretain') used for
                        reinforced earth applications.  The findings are
                        compared to the recommendations given in the British
                        board of Agrement Roads and Bridges Certificate No.
                        83/25 (This certificate lapsed during the course of
                        this investigation).  The data shows that there is no
                        immediate cause for concern for the intergrity of
                        'Fibretain' straps in existing reinforceed earth
                        structures: they broadly confirm the recommendations
                        in the BBA certificate and could be used to support a
                        claim fro re-approval.
