The present work compiles results from pullout tests campaigns carried out in recent years. Tests are focused on polyester (PET) strap reinforcement of varied grades (or ultimate tensile strengths and, consequently, stiffness) subjected to different confining pressures and installation conditions. Reinforcements have homogeneous HDPE sheaths with continuous surfaces. Assessments of possible post-pullout damage and the consequences of said deterioration are explored. General conclusions regarding design and construction practices are commented.
