       Notes - general: An earlier review of Chemcrete Specification trial
                        sites found apparent differences in the properties
                        exhibited by the Chemcrete and control materials.  In
                        order to establish whether the differences were due to
                        initial consruction or subsequent performance, some of
                        the work was repeated the following year.  These
                        results, together with evidence from other sites,
                        indicate that, although Chemcrete modification may
                        assist in the long term by minimising permanent
                        deformation, it can lead to an excessively brittle
                        material that is liable to crack.
