       Notes - general: This report presents the results of tensile tests
                        undertaken on specimens of Paraweb recovered after 6,
                        12, and 15.5 years burial in a silty clay backfill
                        from an experiemnetal reinforced soil structure built
                        at TRL.  The findings are discussed in relation to the
                        long-term integrity of structures containing such
                        reinforcements.  The data from the programme of tests
                        add confidence to the ability of  Parweb
                        reinforcements to provide satisfactory long-term
                        service.
