■^The fabric was made of 840 denier, 56 filament, uncoated 

 nylon yarn. 



^No specifications for the empty bags or fabric were 

 recorded at the time of the tests beyond the general 

 bag dimensions (5 by 8 feet). Two small samples of 

 light and heavy nylon material and a single, light- 

 material bag were saved after the tests. Bag dimen- 

 sions measured from the sample bag are assumed to be 

 typical of all the bags used in the bag property and 

 breakwater tests. Fabric weights were estimated from 

 the measured weights of the two samples and were used 

 with the bag dimensions to estimate the empty bag 

 weights.
