SPECIFICATION FOR
FLUSH VALVES AND FITTINGS FOR
WATER CLOSETS AND URINALS
.O. FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution
on 27 February 1981, after the draft finalized by the Sanitary Appliances
and Water Fittings Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil
Engineering Division Council.
0.2 Flush valves are used for flushing of water closets, squatting pans and
urinals by directly connecting to pressure water pipes. When flush valves
are operated, they allow a limited quantity of water for flushing and
slowly close automatically. They are normally fixed at one metre height
from the flooring of washdown water closets and one metre height from
foot rests in the case of squatting pans. This standard has been pre-
pared with a view to laying down the nominal sizes, materials and
performance requirements of flush valves.
0.3 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of
this standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated,
expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in
accordance with IS : 2-1960’. The number of significant places retain-
ed in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified
value in this standard.
1. SCOPE
1.1 This standard covers requirements for flush valves, flush pipes and
stop valves for water closet and urinals.
2. TERMINOLOGY
2.0 For the purpose of this standard the following definition shall apply.
2.1 Flush Valves - Flush valves are fittings which are directly
connected to pressure water pipes. When they are operated, they allow
a limited quantity of water through in order to flush water closets and
urinals and slowly close automatically.

CAST IRON SADDLE PIECES FOR
SERVICE CONNECTION FROM ASBEST6S
CEMENT PRESSURE PIPES
0. FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution
on 30 September 1982, after the draft finalized by the Cast Iron & Mallea-
ble Cast Iron Sectional Committee had been approved by the Structural
and Metals Division Council.
0.2 This standard has been prepared with a view to help both the manufac-
turers and users with regard to the various requirements of saddle pieces
for service connection from asbestos cement pressure pipes.
0.3 It has been felt desirable to specify only the essential dimensions
required for proper functioning and interchangeability.
0.4 Connection to consumers from asbestos cement water mains can easily
and quickly be provided by means of a cast iron saddle piece assembly on
the pipe. Each assembly consists of two cast iron straps, two rubber
gaskets and two bolts and nuts. The top strap with the boss is called
saddle and the lower one is called strap. The boss of the saddle is drilled
and tapped to the required size.
0.5 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this
standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, expressing
the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded- off in accordance with
IS : 2-1960*. The number of significant places retained in the rounded off
value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard,
1. SCOPE
1.1 This standard covers the requirements for cast iron saddle piece for
service connection from asbestos cement pressure pipes conforming to
IS : 1592-19707.
*Rules for rounding off numerical values ( rrvircd ) .

31s : low - 1982
2. SUPPLY OF MATERIAL
2.1 The genera1 requirements relating to the supply of saddle piece shall be
as laid down in IS : 1387-1967*.
3. MANUFACTURE
3.1 The metal used for the manufacture of saddle and the strap shall be of
quality not less than that specified in IS : 210-1978t Grade FG 150.
3.2 Both the cast iron parts of saddle piece, that is saddle and the strap shall
be stripped with all precautions necessary to avoid warping or shrinking
defects. They shall be free from defects, other than any unavoidable surface
imperfections which results from the method of manufacture and which do
not affect the use of saddle pieces. By agreement between the purchaser
and the manufacturer, minor defects may be rectified.
3.3 The cast iron parts shall be such that they could be cut, drilled or
machined. In case of any dispute, the castings may be accepted provided
the hardness measured on the external unmachined surface does not exceed
215 HB.
4. MECHANICAL TESTS
4.0 Mechanical tests shall be carried out during manufacture and at the
most twice per day of castings. The results obtained are taken to represent
all the saddle pieces of all sizes made during the day.
4.1 Tensile Test - Two tensile tests shall be made on bars cast from the
same metal in accordance with the method specified in Appendix A. The
results of the tests shall show a minimum tensile strength of 150 MPa
( 15 kgf/mm2 ).
4.2 Brine11 Hardness Tests -For checking the Brine11 hardness specified
in 3.3, Brine11 hardness tests shall be carried out on the test bars used for
the tests in 4 1. The test shall be carried out by applying either a load of
3 000 kg to a ball of 10 mm diameter for 15 seconds, or a load of 750 kg to
a ball of 5 mm diameter for 10 seconds.
4.3 Retest - If any test piece representing a lot fails to pass the test in the
first instance, two additional tests shall be made on test pieces made from
the same metal used from the same lot. Should either of these additional
test pieces fail to pass the test, the lot shall be deemed as not complying
with the standard.

FOREWORD
This Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by the Rock
Mechanics Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council.
The presence of pores in fabric of a rock material decreases its strength and increases its deformability. A
small volume fraction of pores can produce an appreciable mechanical effect.
Information on the porous nature of rock materials is frequently omitted from petrological descriptions but
is required if these descriptions are to be used as a guide to mechanical performance. Sand stones and
carbonate rocks in particular occur with a wide range of porosities and hence of mechanical character;
igneous rocks that have been weakened by weathering processes also have typically high porosities.
Most rocks have similar grain densities and therefore have porosity and dry density values that are highly
correlated. A low density rock is usually highly porous. It is often sufficient, therefore, to quote values for
porosity alone but a complete description requires .values for both porosity and density.
Different methods of determination of density and porobity described in the standard are suitable for
different types of rocks and sample, While method using saturation and caliper technique and using satu-
ration and buoyancy technique are suitable for regular and irregular shape of sample respectively of those
rocks which do not appreciably swell or disintegrate when immersed in water, the method using mercury
displacement and grain specific gravity technique is suitable for irregular shape of such rock which are
liable to swell or disintegrate when immersed in water.
These methods are based on the suggested method of International Society of Rock Mechanics.
In reporting the results of a test or analysis made in accordance with this standard, if the final value,
observed or calculated, is to be rounded off, it shall be done in accordance with IS 2 : 1960 ‘Rules for
rounding off numerical values ( rsvised )‘-IS 18030: 1991

Indian Standard
SPECIFICATION FOR
CONCRETE SLUMP TEST APPARATUS
0. FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard was adopted by the Indian Standards
Institution on 21 February 1974, after the draft finalized by the Cement
and Concrete Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil
Engineering Division Council.
0.2 The Indian Standards Institution has already published a series of
standards on methods of testing cement and concrete. It has been
recognized that reliable and inter comparable test results can be obtained
only with standard testing equipment capable of giving the desired level
of accuracy. The Sectional Committee has, therefore, decided to bring
out a series of specifications covering the requirements of equipment
uscdfor testing cement and concrete, to encourage its development and
manufacture in the country.
0.3 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this
standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated,
expressing the result of a test or analysis, shah be rounded off in
accordance with IS : 2-1960*. The number of significant places retained
in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified
value in this standard.
1. SCOPE
.
1.1 This standard covers the requirements of the apparatus used for
determining the slump of fresh concrete as a measure of its consistency.
2. APPARATUS
2.1 The apparatus shall consist of a mould for the test specimen and a
tamping rod.
3. MOULD
3.1 Shape and Dimensions -The mould for the test specimen shall be
in the form of the frustum of a cone as shown in Fig. 1 or 2 and internal
dimensions as given in Table 1.

FOREWORD
This Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by
the Pesticides Residue Analysis Sectional Committee had been approved by the Food and
Agriculture Division Council.
Captafol [ cis-N ( 1, 1, 2, 2-tetrachloroethyl thio )-Ccyclohexene-I, 2-dicarboximide 1 is used in
agriculture for the control of fungal diseases. Assessment of its residues in food commodities is
therefore an important step in safeguarding human health.
This standard will enable the health authorities and others engaged in the field to follow uniform
test procedures for the estimation of captafol residues in food commodities.
In the preparation of this standard, due consideration has been given to the maximum limits of
dithiocarbamate residues laid under the provisions of Prevention of Food Adulteration Act, 1954 and
the Rules framed thereunder. The test method is restricted to the prescribed level of residues.
In reporting the result of a test or analysis made in accordance with this standard, if the final
value, observed or calculated, is to be rounded off, it shall be done in accordance, with IS 2 : 196@

FOREWORD
‘This Indian Standard ( Part lS/Sec 5 ) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the
draft finalized by the Terminology Relating to River Valley Projects Sectional Committee had been
approved by the River Valley Division Council.
A number of Indian Standards have been published covering various aspects of river valley projects
and a large number of similar standards are in the process of formulation. These standards include
technical terms, the precise definitions of which are required to avoid ambiguity in their interpreta-
tion. To achieve this end, the Bureau is bringing out this glossary of terms relating to river valley
projects ( IS 4410 ) which is being published in parts.
This part ( Part 15 ) covers the important field of canal structures and in view of the vastness of
this subject, it is covered in six different sections. Other sections in the series are as follows:
Section 1 General terms
Section 2 Transitions
Section 3 Flumes
Section 4 Regulating works
Section 6 Other structures
This standard ( Part 15/Set 5 ) was first published in 1977. Due to the information received from
various states it was found necessary to revise this standard. The terminology as given in this
standard has been finalized by the Cross Drainage Works Sectional Committee.IS 4410 ( Part 15/Set 5 ) : 1992

FOREWORD
This Indian Standard ( First Revision ) was adopted by the Bureau af Indian Standards after the
draft finalized by the Building Lime and Lime Products Sectional committee had been approved by the
Civil Engineering Division Council.
Lime-pozzolana mixture concrete is found to have many desirable properties advantageous for use in
road and building construction. The values of drying shrinkage of lime-pozzolana mixture concrete
have been observed to vary from 0.019 to 0.040 percent which comperes favourably with values of 0.024
to 0,038 percent and O-043 to 0.058 percent respectively for plain cement and pozzolana cement
concrete of 1 : 5 and 1 : 6 nominal mix proportions. The drying shrinkage values of lean cement
concrete of mix proportions 1 : 16 and 1 : 20 are of the order of 0.06 to O-09 percent. From these, it is
seen that lime-pozzolana mixture concrete undergoes only negligible volume change after setting and
initial shrinkage.
Well compacted lime-pozzolana mixture concrete is also found to be less permissible because it is more
cohesive and plastic in nature than cement concrete of.equivalent strength. The bond strength between
lime-pozzolana mixture concrete and cement concrete is found to be of the order of l-5 to 2.0 MPa
when the time interval between laying of two layers in road and other pavement work is not more than
one hour. Because of this characteristic, it is found that lime pozzolana mixture concrete can be
advantageously employed as a bonded underlay under thin cement concrete surfacing to obtain a com-
posite, economical rigid pavement wherein the shear stresses developed at the inter-face of the two
layers are taken care of by the bond strength developed between the two layers.
This standard was first published in 1970. This revision has been prepared with a view to incorporate
the modifications and improvements found necessary in the light of experience gained during the use
of this standard. In addition to giving reference to the latest Indian Standards, this revision also incor-
porates the details of lime-pozzolana mixture concrete made with quick setting lime-pozzolana mixture
according to IS 10772 : 1983 ‘Specification for quick setting lime-pozzolana mixture’.
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the
final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in
accordance with IS 2 : 1960 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised )‘. The number of sign&
cant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this

NOTES
1 The aggregate grading for the lime-pozzolana concrete should, in the absence of special mix design procedure generally conform to the grading given
in IS 383 : 1970.
2 The volumetric proportionihg is based on the assumption that a 36 kg bag of LP mixture would be 0’042 5 m3 by volume.
3 For water requirement, the compaction factor should be kept 0’85 f 0’02 for all the mixes.IS 5817 : 1992

CODE OF PRACTICE FOR
DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF RADAR
ANTENNA, MICROWAVE AND TV TOWER
FOUNDATIONS
@FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution
on 20 February 1985, after the draft finalized by the Foundation Engi-
neering Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering
Division Council.
0.2 Radar antenna, microwave and TV towers are widely used for the
communication system in Defence, Posts and Telegraph Department,
Railways and for TV stations. The foundation required for these types
of towers have to be designed based on several known and assumed
factors. Based on the experience gained so far, this standard on the subject
has been formulated so that it will help various organizations to standard-
ize the design procedures and assumed factors.
0.3 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this
standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, expressing
the result of a test, shall be rounded off in accordance with IS : 2-1960’.
The number of significant places retained in the rounded off value should
be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.
1. SCOPE
1.1 This standard provides guidelines for the design and construction of
reinforced concrete foundations for self-supporting type radar antenna
towers, microwave towers and TV towers.
Nom-_Grj]lage, brick and massive footings prestressed concrete are not covered
in this Code.
‘Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised ).
3IS : 11233 - 1985
2. TERMINOLOGY
2.1. For the purpose of this standard, definitions of terms given in IS :
2809-1972’ shall apply.
3. NECESSARY INFORMATION AND DESIGN DATA
3.0 For the design and construction of foundations the information as
given in 3.1 to 3.3 would be needed.
3.1 General
3.1.1 The location map showing the layout of the existing towers and
structures with the general topography of the area.
3.1.2 The geometrical details of the tower like height and details of
antenna and its/their sizes configuration.
3.1.3 The resulting forces acting at the base of the tower like downward
loads, uplift forces, the horizontal shears, overturning moments, torsional
moments ( if not included ) obtained from the analysis of tower structure.
3.1.4 Maximum total settlement of/and differential settlement between
the legs allowed at the foundation level for the tower. ( This information
is to be supplied by the tower user. )
3.1.5 A detailed geotechnical report depicting clearly the sub-soil profile,
the physical and strength properties of the various strata, etc., the sub-soil
profile to a depth of 10 m or to a depth equal to twice the width
of the tower foundation at the founding level or any other information
required for the design. Information on the ground water table and
its seasonal variations, aggressive characteristics of sub-soil and surround-
ings should be available. The soil test report should indicate the bore log
with classification of soil, standard penetration test values in full depth,
dynamic core penetration test value up to at least 10 m depth below
ground level and consolidation test data ( coefficient of compression neces-
sarily in clayey and silty soils alongwith results of other tests carried out
on soil samples ). A report on water table and its seasonal variations
should be included.
3.1.6 Special information like the wind data including cyclones/tornado,
etc, depth of frost and penetration, and earthquake data.
‘Glossary of terms and symbols relating to soil engineering (first revision ).
4IS : 11233 - 1985
3.1.7 A review of the performance of tower like structures, if any, in the
locality.
3.1.8 In case of rocky subgrades, it should be ensured that rocky strata
is of sufficient thickness and not just a sheet rock under laid by compres-
sible or poor soil strata. In such cases the data like compressive strength
of rock, rock core recovery and deterioration, if any, on submergence or
saturation shotrId be invariably made available.
3.2 Design Forces
3.2.1 Total weight of the structure.
3.2.2 Overturning and torsional comments dtie to wind forces.
3.2.3 Horizontal shear forces at tower base level.
3.2.4 Earthquake generated forces ( see IS : 1893-1975* ).
3.2.5 Pulsating forces due to the vibrations caused in the tower by the
wind.
3.3 Settlements
3.3.1 For the allowable settlements for these structures, the following
guidelines may be considered:
a) The allowable total settlement should be restricted as follows:
1) Radar antenna towers-12 mm;
2) Microwave towers with dish type antenna-16 mm; and
3) Towers and towers with yagi type antenna-50 mm.
b) The maximum allowable differential settlement should be
restricted to 6 mm for radar antenna towers, 20 mm for TV
towers and 12 mm for microwave towers.
c) In case of foundations resting partially on rock and partially on
soil, the allowable differential settlements should be restricted
to as per (b) above. There is likelihood of large differential
settlements and large variations in estimation of settlements.
In such situations, the foundation portion in compressible soil
should be taken to a base on which settlement is comparable
to that on rocky portion, using even concrete piles of end
bearing type.
*Criteria for earthquake ruirtant design of structures ( t/&d revision ).
5IS:11233 - 1985
d) The possible differential settlement due to eccentric loading
should also be evaluated during the analysis.
e) While deciding the allowable settlement, the seasonal variation
of water table should be duly taken into account.
4. TYPES OF FOUNDATIONS
4.1 The following types of foundations can be considered as alternatives:
a) Isolated footings under each leg of the tower;
b) A combined raft foundation ( with or without beams );
c) Annular or ring foundation, specially for circular section RCC
towers;
d) Pile foundations;
e) Rock anchors in case of towers resting on rocks;
f) Combination of (a) with (d) or (e) above; and
g) Shell foundations, specially for circular section RCC towers.
4.1.1 Depending upon the relative magnitude of upward or downward
vertical loads, lateral load and overturning moments, footings in soil
should be as classified in Table 1 according to their suitability.

5. GENERAL DESIGN CRITERIA
5.0 Design Loads and Fumes - The following loads and forces should be
used for design of tower foundations:
a) Downward load;
b) Uplift load;
c) Horizontal thrust ( base shear ); and
d) Overturning moments.
5.0.1 Inclined loads should be split into lateral/shear and vertical loads
at the top of footings.
5.1 Design Criteria for Various Types of Design Loads
5.1.1 Uplift loads and horizontal thrusts ( stabiiity considerations ).
5.1.1.1 In tall self-supporting type of towers ( M/W and TV ), and
often in short towers ( radar antenna ) uplift load becomes an important
governing criteria for selection and design of type of foundations due to
structure and foundation stability. General consideration and criteria are
given in from 5.1.1.12 to 5.1.1.14.
5.1.1.2 The uplift loads are assumed to be counteracted in case of
shallow foundations by the weight of the footing plus the weight of an
inverted frustum of a pyramid of earth, on the footing pad, with sides
inclined at an angle of up to 30” with the vertical.
5.1.1.3 A footing with an under-cut generally develops uplift resistance
that is higher than that of an identical footing without an under-cut (see
Fig. 1 ) for which reason reduced factors of safety ( see 5.4.1 ) can be
adopted.
5.1.1.4 A 30’ cone shall be taken for an average firm cohesive material
while a 20” cone shall be taken for non-cohesive materials, such as sand and
gravelly soils. Interpolation can be done for in between soil classifications.
5.1.1.5 Alternative footing designs with or without under-cut should
be provided where field investigations have not been made to determine
feasibility of undercutting.
5.1.1.6 In enlarged footings without an under-cut where individual
footing is not provided under each leg and where a combination of uplift
loads with lateral loads occurs, the suitability should be checked by the
following criteria:
a) The resultant of forces acting vertically and laterally should act
at a point in its base at a distance of onesixth of its width from
the toes;

8Is : 11233- 1985
b) The weight of the footing acting at the centre of the base; and
c) Mainly that part of the cone which stands over the heel causes a
stabilizing moment. However, for design purposes, this may be
taken equal to half the total weight of the cone of earth acting
over the base. It should be assumed to act through the tip of
the heel.
5.1.1.7 The uplift forces in case of pile foundation should be counter-
acted by the uplift resistance of piles and weight of pile caps and the earth-
cone above it with factors of safety as in 5.4.1.
5.1.1.8 The horizontal forces, in case of shallow foundations are
resisted by passive soil pressure on the edges of the footings and the drag
resistance with soil at the base of footing with factors of safety as
in 5.4.1.
5.1.1.9 In case of pile foundations the horizontal load capacity of all
piles with passive earth pressure of footings ( pile caps ) should be equal
to horizontal base shear multiplied by factor of safety as in 5.4.1,
5.1.1.10 A footing on rock, for uplift and horizontal loads, may be
considered to develop strength by the dead load of the concrete and the
least of (a) strength of all the bars anchored under the footing ( the pull
out bond resistance of anchor bars grouted or embedded in concrete in
drilled holes ) or (b) the pull out resistance ( frictional resistance of concrete
in anchor holes with rock ) of all the rock anchors in the footing area. The
factors of safety as in 5.4.1 should be used.
5.1.1.11 In case of good soils where the size of footing designed on
downward load considerations is considerably smaller than the size of
footing required with uplift criterion, short under-reamed piles of 3’5 m
length under the footing be provided to achieve additional uplift resistance,
instead of increasing the size of footing. Economy considerations should,
however, govern the design.
5.1.1.12 If a basement is provided, active earth pressure on the walls
should be considered. The passive resistance of the soil on the basement
wall during earthquake and horizontal forces should be neglected while
analyzing the stability of the foundation.
5.1.1.13 When shallow foundations are adopted, tension should not be
allowed on the edges of the foundation under horizontal forces. In cases
of pile foundation, however, uplift resistance of the piles, and in case of
rock anchors the pull-out resistance of the anchor should be three times
the tension. In all the other cases the dead weight of the footing ( cap in
9IS : 11233 - 1985
cases of piles ) and the earth fill above the footing of pile cap in
accordance with 5.1.1.1 should be considered for balancing the tension
providing factor of safety as in 5.4.1.
5.1.1.14 All the isolated/individual footings should be inter-connected
at ground level or below, by beams inter-connecting columns/stems, to be
designed for a maximum differential settlement in addition to the other
design considerations.
5.1.2 Downward loads and overturning moments.
5.1.2.1 For downward force, the shallow foundations are to be designed
such that the pressure on sub-grade at any point does not exceed the safe
bearing capacity. In case of pressure variation caused by moments due to
lateral ( horizontal forces ) on tower, permissible increase in bearing
pressure should be in accordance with 5.5.3.1.
5.1.2.2 The pile foundations system should be so designed that load
shared by a pile does not exceed its safe load carrying capacity in vertical
( downward as well uplift ) as well as horizontal direction. Group action
for number of piles more than 2 should be considered.
5.1.2.3 Combination of shallow fovndations and pile foundations
should ensure that differential settlement of tower legs is within permis-
sible limits as in 3.3.1.
5.2 Criteria for selection of type of foundation and its design.
5.2.1 Amongst other consideration, the safe bearing capacity and
settlement characteristics of soil should govern the selection of the type
foundation. Amongst various alternatives, cost economics should be the
decisive factor.
5.2.2 The raft foundations may become good choice if basements are
provided in case of high towers or if the soils are weak with low settlement
values. The raft should be sufficiently stiff to withstand the differentia1
settlement and also the flexural vibrations cause due to wind/earthquake.
It is generally preferable to go in for beam type raft system. The raft
design may be as per IS : 2950 ( Part 1 )-1981*.
5.2.3 The isolated footings may become a good choice in case of lattice
towers resting on good soils with medium to high bearing capacity and
when tower legs are spaced far apart. The design of isolated footings
should be as per IS : 1080-1980t.
*Code of practice for design and construction of raft foundations : Part 1 Design.
tCode of practice for design and construction of shell foundations ( other than
raft, ring and shell ) ( second revision ).
10IS : 11233- 1985
5.2.4 For KCC towers of circular shape, the ring type or annular or shell
type of foundations can be adopted. The design of annular ring type
foundation should follow IS : 11089-1984* and that of shell type founda-
tion should follow IS : 9456-1980t.
5.2.5 The combination of isolated footings and pile foundations should
be used with utmost caution due to greater chances of high and unantici-
pated differential settlements between legs. In case the footings under the
same tower structure happen to rest such that some of them are in soil
and while others on rock, then due consideration should be given for ditt‘e-
re’ntial settlement and the structural safety.
5.2.6 Bored piles with enlarged bases usually provide an economical type
of footing in many soils where under-reaming is possible. In expansive type
of soils such as black cotton soils, they have to be carried down to a
depth of 3’5 m below the cut-off level in deep layers of these soils to
counteract the effect of upthrust due to swelling pressure introduced in the
soil. Normal type of independent spread footing carried down to shallo\\
depth will not be suitable in such soils.
5.2.7 Different types of piles can be used depending upon the location
and sub-soil characteristics in case of heavy uplift forces and moments
multiple under-reamed piles or anchors may be used. In case of loose to
medium sandy soils bored compaction under-reamed piles may be used.
5,2.8 Concrete Piles - In case concrete piles ( other than under reamed 1
the provisions of IS : 2911 ( Part l/Set 1 )-19791, IS : 2911 ( Part l/Set 2 )-
1979$, IS : 2911 ( Part l/Set 3 )-1979X and IS : 2911 ( Part l/Set 4 )-19841
should apply.
5.2.9 The piles in uplift should be designed by the usual considerations
of the friction on stem and bearings on the annular projections. A factor
of safety of 3 may be applied for safe uplift.
5.2.10 The load carrying capacity of an under-reamed pile may be
determined from a load test as given in IS : 2911 ( Part 4 )-1985s. In the

5.2.10.1 The safe loads given in IS : 2911 ( Part 3 ) - 1980* for under-
reamed piles apply to both, medium compact sandy soils and clayey soils
of medium consistency. For dense sandy ( N>30 ) and stiff clayey ( N>8 )
soils the loads may be increased by 25 percent. However, the values of
lateral thrust should not be increased unless stability of top soil ( strata to
a depth of about three times the stem diameter ) is ascertained. On the
other hand a 25 percent reduction should be made in case of loose
sandy ( NC 10 ) and soft clayey ( NC4 ) soils.
NOTE - For determining the average ‘N’ values ( the standard penetration test
values ) a weighted average shall be taken and correction for fineness under water
table shall be applied where applicable.
5.2.10.In2 case of piles resting on rock bearing the component should
be obtained by multiplying the safe capacity of rock with the bearing area
of pile stem plus the bearing provided by the under-ream portion.
5.3 Footing on Rock -- A rock footing, the uplift and horizontal loads,
may be considered to develop strength by the dead load of the concrete
and the strength of bar anchorage ( the pull-out value of anchor bars
grouted in drill holes or the failure strength of rock engaged by bars >.
5.3.1 The depth of embedment of the bars below the bottom of the
footing should not be less than the following:
D=45 d
where
D=the minimum depth of embedment in mm; and
d =diameter of anchor bar in mm.
5.3.2 The spacing of embedded bars should normally be one-half of the
normal depth of embedment as given in 5.3.1.
5.3.3 The size of the bar should be governed by the criterion that com-
bined stressed do not exceed the permissible limits.
5.4 Factor of Safety and Permissible Stresses
5.4.1 While calculating the stability of the foundations, the factor of
safety 2’0 should be provided at every stage. However, in case of found-
ations with an under-cut, the factor of safety of 1’25 may be adopted while
‘Code of practice for design and construction of pile foundations : Part 3 Under-
reamed piles (first revision).
12IS : 11233 - 1985
calculating the uplift resistance. A factor of safety of 3 should be
provided for safe uplift resistance in case of piles and rock pull out
anchors.
5.4.2 If the foundations are resting on saturated non-cohesive strata, no
increase in the allowable bearing pressure should be considered for the
stability analysis under eccentric loadings.
5;4.3 The permissible stresses in concrete and reinforcement should be
as given in IS : 456-1978’. For the other materials, the relevant Indian
Standards should be followed. Under earthquake forces, the permissible
stress in all the materials can be exceeded up to a limit of 33 percent ( see
IS : 1893-1975t). However, the influence of fatigue under vibration gene-
rated forces during winds and earthquakes may also be considered suit-
ably, while selecting permissible stresses.
5.5 Bearing Capacity and Other Sub-soil Parameters
5.5.1 The safe bearing capacity should be determined in- accordance
with provisions in IS : 6403-19813 and permissible total and differential
settlements as in 3.3.
5.5.2 Except when towers are constructed on hillocks, the sub-soil
saturation effect due to flooding should be considered while recommending
safe bearing capacity.
5.5.3 No increase in allowable bearing pressure on soil or on piles shall
be considered under wind or earthquake forces.
5.5.3.1 The permissible bearing pressures arrived at as in 5.5.1 may
be exceeded at the edge of the footings by 25 percent when variation in
intensity of the reaction caused by the transmission of moments to the
footing is taken into account.
5.5.4 Rock anchor pull-out tests should be carried out on 75 mm dia
and 1 000 mm deep drilled holes, in case of hard rocks, on at least 3 holes,
in determining average value of rock anchor strength.
5.5.4.1 For guidance on data on rock anchors used to counteract
uplift in tower, refer IS : 10270 - 1982§.

FOREWORD
This Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on 22 February 1990, after
the draft finalized by the Dams ( Overflow and Non-overflow ) Sectional Committee had been
approved by the River Valley Division Council.
A large number of galleries and other openings are provided in practically all modern high dams.
The galleries are required for access, grouting, inspection, drainage and for the operation of gates.
Other major openings include sluices, temporary diversion conduits, river outlets and penstock
openings. In addition there are openings for stairwells, shafts, air vents; drainage holes etc.
To enable the designing of gallery it is necessary to determine the general stress field to which the
opening is subjected and subsequently to analyse the local alteration in it due to the particular shape
of the opening.
In this standard only small openings such as foundation gallery, inspection gallery, adit to gallery
etc have been considered. The openings such as sluices, penstocks and other similar openings
have been excluded from this standard.
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with the
final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in
accordance with IS 2 : 1960 ‘Rules for rounding of numerical values ( revised )‘. The number of
significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value
in this standard.IS 12966 ( Part 2 ) : 1990

10 DESIGN OF REINFORCEMENT
10.1 The following design procedure will apply to
both concrete and masonry dams. In case of masonry
dams, a portion around an opening which is rein-
forced is .constructed in concrete. The thickness of
concrete around vertical openings like air vents is
generally 300 mm. For other opening, the thickness
varies from 750 mm to 1 500 mm. The design proce-
dure will be identical with that for a concrete dam; the
assumption is that the masonry and concrete behave as
one mass.
10.2 The procedure for the design of reinforcement
will be as follows:
a) Locate the centre of the opening on a cross-section

FOREWORD
This Indian Standard ( Third Revision ) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized
by the Bolts. Nuts and Fasteners Accessories Sectional Committee had been approved by the Light Mechanical
Engineering Division Council.
This standard was originally published in 1961 and subsequently revised in 1967 and 1979. In the present
revision, following major changes have been made:
a) Marking requirements for bolts, screws, studs and nuts have been deleted from this standard since
these are already covered in IS 1367 ( Part 3 ) : 1991 ‘Technical supply conditions for threaded steel
fasteners : Part 3 Mechanical properties and test methods for bolts. screws and studs with full loadability
( third revision )’ and IS 1367 ( Part 6 ) : 1994 ‘Technical supply conditions for threaded steel fasteners :
Part 6 Mechanical properties and test methods for nuts with specified~proof loads (fhird revision)‘,
respectively.
b) Requirements for mode of delivery that is Packaging have been modified as per 1s 9 14 1 : I 979 ‘Code of
practice for the packaging of fasteners ( firsf revision )‘.
The packaging function has to fulfil a variety of objectives including the protection of the contents against
transport, handling and storage~hazards. Threaded fasteners, like bolts, nuts, screws and studs have some special
features which must be protected to keep them fit for use at the ultimate destination. Packaging has to be designed
in such a way as to ensure the availability of fasteners in packs to meet the general demand. Packaging has also
to take into consideration the variations in quantity which in turn depends on the type of customer and the
availability of storage facilities at -his end. Some of the Indian Standards on fasteners to which this standard
applies are listed in Annex A.
This standard (Part 18) covers technical supply conditions in respect of packaging of threaded steel fasteners.
Other parts covering various aspects of the threaded steel fasteners and their respective degree of equivalence
with International Standards are as under:

O. FOREWORD
0.1This revised Indian Standard was adopted by the Indian Standards
Institution on 29 Jlme 1964, after the draft finalized by the Cutlery Sec-
tional Committee had been approved by the Consumer Products Division
Council.
0.2 This standard was first published in 1957 and was one of a series of
Indian Standard specifications on table cutlerv. Revision of the series has
been taken up o< account of necessity to rnetricize and also to avoid
such details as will hinder the improvement of design. Pastry forks
have also been included in this revised standard. Other standards in the
series are:
IS :990-1964 SPOONS,STAINLESSSTEEL (Revised)
IS :991-1964 SPOONS,BRASSAND NICKEL SILVER(Revised)
IS :993-1964 FORKS ‘(TABLE, FISH,PASTRY AND SERVING),BRASS
AND NICKEL SILVER(Revised)
IS :994-1964 BUTTER KNIVES AND FISHKNIVES
IS :995-1964 TABLE KNIVES,DesSERT KNIVES AND FRUIT KNIVES
(Revised)
0.3 Th; standard deals with the requirements for forks ( table, fish,
pastry and serving ) made of stainless steel. Designs other than those
covered by this standard are also popular with certain organizations to
suit aesthetic requirements. In such cases, it is recommended that the
forks may be made according to the designs of individual organizations
but other provisions of this standard’ shall apply to guide the manufac-
ture and purchase. An important aspect of table cutlery is that the
different items in a set mch as spoons, forks” and knives should match in
shape and appearance. This factor is to be borne in mind by the manu-

SHORT DURATION LOADING TEST
0. FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard ( Part VI) was adopted by the Indian
Standards Institution on 22 March 1973, after the draft finalized by the
Cement and Concrete Sectional Committee had been approved by the
Civil Engineering Division Council.
0.2 Autoclaved cellular concrete is a class of material, which has . been
developed commercially abroad and is in the process of development in
this country also. A series of Indian Standards on cellular concrete is
being formulated so as to provide guidance in obtaining reliable products
in auroclaved celiular concrete. The Sectional Committee has considered
it desirable to issue a standard for the methods of test for autoclnvcd cellu-
lar concrete products for the guidance of manufacturers and users.
0.3 In the formulation of this standard due weightage has been given to
international co-ordination among the standards and practices prevailing
in different countries in addition to relating it to the practices in the field
in this country.
0.4 For convenience of reference, ‘ Indian Standard methods of test
for autoclaved cellular concrete products’ has been grouped into the
following nine parts:
Part I Determination of unit weight or bulk density and moisture
content
Part II Determination of drying shrinkage
Part III Determination of thermal conductivity
Part IV Corrosion protection of steel reinforcement in autoclaved
cellular concrete
Part V Determination of compressive strength
Part VI Strength, deformation and cracking of flexural members jw
subject to bending-short duration loading test
3 1.IS:6441(PartVI)-1973
Part VII Strength, deformation and cracking of flexural members
subject to bending-sustnined loading test.
Part VIII Loading tests fw flextlral members in diagonal tension
Part IX Jointing of autoclaved cellular concrete elements
05 In reporting the result of a test or analysis made in accordance with
this standard, if the final value, observed or calculated, is to be rounded off,
it shall be dane in accordance with IS : 2-1960*.
1. SCOPE
1.1 This standard ( Part VI ) covers the method of test for the strength,
deformation and cracking ( under short duration load ) af flexural
members such as floor or roof slabs of cellular concrete subject to bending.
Z TEST SPECIMEN
2.1 Size of the Specimen - The test specimen. shall be the full size
member as to be actually used in construction satisfying the requirements
of the relevant Indian Standard (or the requirements specified by the
manufacturer ) in respect of shape and dimensions.
2.2 Condition of the Test Specimen
2.2.1 Moisture Content -The moisture content of the concrete during
the test should be indicated and should be not less than 10 percent,by
weight, when determined in accordance with IS : 6441 ( Part I )-1972t.
2.2.2 Te&fierature of Specimen - The temperature of the concrete shall
not be materially different from the ambient temperature in which it is
being tested and in any case not less than 0°C.
3. TEST ARRANGEMENTS
3.1 The member to be tested shall be simply supported at the ends.
The supports shall consist of 25-mm thick horizontal mild steel plates
bedded on rigid supports of steel or concrete. The ends of the member shall
be fully in contact with the steel plate over the whole width of the
member. The bearing width and the span used for the test shall be the
same as those indicated by the manufacturer and to be actually used in
construction practice ( see Fig. 1 ).

4. LOADING
4.1 The test specimen member shall be subjected tOloads placed at +span
points through steel platens not lCSSthan 25 mm *U the load extending
over the entire widtil of the member. The steel platens shall be bedded
on soft fibre board packing, not less than 12 mm thick and of the same
plan dimensions as the steel pIatens. The packing shaU be placed between
each steel loading platen and the top of the member. The span shall be
taken as the distance between the centms of the bearing (seeFig. 1).
4.2 The loads at the two ~ span po.iII.~ shall be equal and evenly
distributed over the steel loading platens The wxdth of the steel platen
shall not be less than 100 mm and shall be inme=edj where necessaty, in
multiples of 50 mm, so that We contact pr=ure under the applied load
is not more than 20 p~rcent of the compr=slve stiengds of the concrete.
4.3 The weight of the Ioadlng equipment siall be taken into account in
calculating the applied load.
5. MEASU’RE~NTS
5S Loada — The loads shall be measured to an accuracy of not less
than + 1l5 percent of the applied load.
5.2 Deflection — The deflection of the member shall be measured at
mid-span and th~least count of the dial gauge shall be at least 0.01 mm.
5IS: 6441 ( Part VI) -1973
5.3 Stt-aiss — Strain measurements may be made, where required, prefer-
ably at mid-span, cmthe main tension reinforcement and on the extreme
compression fibre of the concrete,
5.4 Crack Widths — Crack widths shall be measured with an accuracy
of * 0“05 mm.
6. TEST PROCEDURE
6.1 Zero for the deflection measurements shatl be taken immediately
after the member had been placed in position.
6.2 The loading apparatus shall then be fixed and the load applied in
Stages. At the end of this stage the load, including the selfweight of the
m~mber and the weight of the Ioading apparatus, shall be equal to the
design dead load for the member.
6.2.1 After an interval of about 5 min loading shall be increased
gradually until the load equals the combined dead and design live loads
for the member.
6.2,2 After a further intcrwd of about 5 min loading shall be increased
at-adually until the Ioad equals the combined dead and twice the design
five loads. At that load, the deflection shall be noted.
6.2.3 After a further interval of about 5 min loading shail bc increased
at a rate of about + of the design live load per minute until failure occurs
or the mid-span d~fkction is 1/60 of the span, M$hicheveris earlier. If
the member is not tested [o failure: then a hypothetical failure load shall
be assumed w be LhatIoad for wh]ch the red-span deflection is 1/60 of
the span.
6.2.4 Defection and strain measurements (see5.3 ) shall be recorded
at the beginning and where applicable at the end of each of the loading
stages; intermediate measurements may also be made if required.
7. REPORT
7.1 The test report shall state:
a) moisture content of the specimen;
b) temperature of the specimen; and

FOREWORD
This Indian Standard ( Fourth Revision ) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on 20 June
1989, after the draft finalized by the Cement and Concrete Sectional Committee had been approved by
the Civil Engineering Division Council.
This standard was first published in 1951 and subsequently revised in 1958, 1967 and 1976. This
fourth revision incorporates the experience gained with the use of this specification and brings the
standard in line with the present practices followed in the production and testing of cement.
Since the third revision of this standard was published, a large number of amendments have been
issued from time to time in order to modify various requirements based on experience gained with the
use of the standard and the requirements of the users, and also keeping in view the raw materials and
fuels available in the country for the manufacture of cement. The important amendments include
increase in insoluble residue from 2 to 4 percent, incorporating 33 MPa as the 28-day compressive
strength, making autoclave soundness test compulsory irrespective of magnesia content, incorporating
a provision for retest in respect of autoclave soundness test after aeration of. the cement, incorpo-
rating a clause on false set and permitting packaging of cement in 25-kg bags. In view of these large
number of amendments, the Sectional Committee decided to bring out this fourth revision of the
standard incorporating all these amendments so as to make it more convenient for the users.
The Sectional Committee also decided that ordinary Portland cement should be designated by its
28-day compressive strength and, therefore, the title of this standard has been-modified in this revision,
aftei taking out the provisions relating to low heat Portland cement for covering in a separate
standard.
Mass of cement packed in bags and the tolerance requirements for the mass of cement packed in
bags shall be in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Standards of Weights and Measures
( Packaged Commodities ) Rules, 1977 and B-l.2 ( see Annex B ). Any modification in these rules in
respect of tolerance on mass of cement would apply automatically to this standard.
This standard contains clause 11.4.1 which gives option to the purchaser and clauses 6.5 and 9.3 which
call for agreement between the purchaser and the supplier.
In the formulation of this standard, considerable assistance has been rendered by the National Council
for Cement and Building Materials, New Delhi as many of the revisions are based on the studies
carried out by them.
The composition of the technical committee responsible for the formulation of this standard is given
in Annex C.
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the
final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in
accordance with 1s 2 : 1960 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised )‘. The number of
significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in
this standard.IS 269: 1989

NOTES
1 The tri-calcium aluminate content ( CIA ) is calculated by the formula:
CJA=2’65 ( AlrOI ) - I.69 ( FerOs )
Where each symbol in brackets refers to the percentage (by mass of total cement ) of the oxide, excluding any
contained in the in’soluble residue referred at Sl No. (iii).
2 Alkali aggregate reactions have been noticed in aggregates in some parts of the country. On large and
importan{ ‘obs where the concrete is likely to be exposed to humid atmosphere or wetting action, it is
advisable t i at the aggregate be tested for alkali aggregate reaction. In the case of reactive aggregates, the
use of cement with alkali content below 0.6 percent expressed as sodium oxide ( Nap0 ), is recommended.
Where, however, such cements are not available, use of Portland pozzolana cement or cement pozzolanic
admixture is recommended.
3 Total chloride content in cement shall not exceed 0.05 percent by mass for cement used in prestressed
concrete structures and long span reinforced concrete structures ( Method of test for determination oft>,_
chloride content in cement is given in IS 12423 : 1988 ). .’
4 The limit of total chloride content iq cement for use in plain and other reinforced concrete structures is
being reviewed. Till that time, the limit may be mutually agreed to between the purchaser and the
manufacturer.

FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (First Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized
by the Wire Ropes and Wire Products Sectional Committee had been approved by the Mechanical Engineering

bridges. This standard was prepared in consultation with the leading manufacturers and important users.
[nthis first revision, based on the experience gained inthe industry, construction details, modulus of elasticity
and certain other requirements have been modified. Requirement of lubrication isalso added.
The composition of the Committee responsible for the formulation of this standard is given inAnnex B
For the purpose of deciding whether aparticular requirement ofthis standard iscomplied with, the final value,
observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with
IS2: 1960 ‘Rules forrounding offnumerical values (revised)’. Thenumber ofsignificant places retained intbe
rounded off value should be the same asthat of the specified value inthis standard.IS 9282:2002

FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (First Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the
draft finalized by the Environmental Protection Sectional Committee had been approved by the
Chemical Division Council.
Magnesium ranks eighth among the elements in order of abundance and is a common constituent
of natural water. Magnesium salts are important contributors to the hardness of water which
break down when heated, forming scale in boilers. The magnesium concentration may vary from
zero to several hundred milligrams. Chemical softening, reverse osmosis, electrodialysis, or ion
exchange reduces the magnesium and associated hardness to acceptable levels.
The technical committee responsible for formulation of IS 3025 and IS 2488 and its parts, decided
to revise all the parts covered under them and publish it in separate parts.
This standard supersedes 34 of IS 3025:1964 and 6 of IS 2488 (Part 5):1976. In the preparation
of this standard, considerable assistance has been derived from ‘Standard methods for the
examination of water and wastewater’ published by the American Public Health Association,
Washington, USA, 17th Edition, 1989.
The composition of the technical committee responsible for the formulation of this Indian Standard
is given in Annex A.
This edition 2.2 incorporates Amendment No. 1 (September 2000) and Amendment No. 2
(March2003) . Side bar indicates modification of the text as the result of incorporation of the
amendments.
In reporting the result of a test or analysis made in accordance with this standard, if the final
value, observed or calculated, is to be rounded off, it shall be done in accordance with IS 2:1960

FOREWORD
This Indian Standard ( Part 1 ) ( First Revision ) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on
25 April 1990 after the draft finalized by the Planning Bye-Laws and Dimensional Co-ordination
Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council.
One of the aims of modular co-ordination is to provide compatibility and inter-changeability of
components. In earlier days a practical system of tolerance was derived as clearance fit, prescribing
minus tolerance on each component without any allowance to the space in which it is to be placed.
The extensive use of prefabricated elements and components in building construction have provoked
the concept of tolerances in recent years. The concept of tolerance is indeed a tool td be used for
dimensional control of the component which can fit without any problem for size, squareness, bow,
plumbness, posit on and appearance. In order to ensure clarity and unambiguous expression in
tolerance principles, it is necessary to adopt the internationally agreed glossary of terms. This
standard, therefore, has been prepared giving the definitions of these terms which are specially used
in relation to principles and applications of tolerances.
This standard was originally published as IS 6408 : 1971 ‘Recommendations for modular co-ordination:
Application of tolerances in building industry’, In the usage of this standard, a need was felt to cover
the terminology in a comprehensive manner in addition to effecting the other technical changes deemed
necessary on the basis of the experience gained over the years. As a result the standard is being
bifurcated into two parts as follows:
Part I Glossary of terms, and
Part 2 Principles and applications.
This, the first part provides a glossary of terms applicable to principles and applications of tolerances
for modular co-ordination in building industry. The definitions of general terms relating to modular
co-ordination are covered in IS 4993 : 1983 ‘Glossary of terms relating to modular co-ordination
( second revision )‘.
tn the preparation of this standard due weightage has been given to international co-ordination among
the standards and practices prevailing in different countries in addition to relating it to the pratices in
the field in this country. This has been met by deriving assistance from the following documents:
a) Industrialised building ind modular design. Henrik Nissen. Cement and Concrete Association,
London 1972
b) The principles of modular co-ordination in building ( revised ) CIB W24. The International
Modular Group 1982.

FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Second Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the
draft finalized by the Construction Plant and Machinery Sectional Committee had been approved
by the Heavy Mechanical Engineering Division Council.
Construction Plant and Machinery Sectional Committee had published the following Indian
Standards:
IS2093:1974 Specification for distributors for hot tar and bitumen (first revision)
IS2094:1996 Heaters for bitumen (tar) and emulsion — Specification (second revision)
IS4198:1967 Specification for emulsion spraying machine for roads
The above standards are related to the same subject and, therefore, the Sectional Committee while
revising IS2093 and IS4198 decided that the revision of these standards be made as Part 2 and
Part 3 respectively of IS2094 and the existing IS2094:1996 be treated as Part 1 of IS2094. As
per the decision, the standards now covered under IS2094 shall be as under:
IS2094(Part1) Heater for bitumen (tar) and emulsion — Specification : Part 1 Bitumen heaters
IS2094(Part2) Heaters for bitumen (tar) and emulsion — Specification : Part 2 Bitumen
sprayers
IS2094(Part3) Heaters for bitumen (tar) and emulsion — Specification : Part 3 Emulsion
The increasing application of the tar and bitumen heaters in the construction and maintenance of
black-top roads has necessitated formulation of a specification for these heaters and this standard
was first published in 1962 and was revised in 1974. The present revision has been taken up to
incorporate modifications found necessary as a result of experience gained during the use of these
standards and the latest thinking on the subject. Some of the important modifications made in the
standard include provision of a ladder, pressure gauge for air tank. The requirement of volume
indicator has been made mandatory in this revision.
This standard includes a number of requirements which are at the option of the purchaser. For the
sake of convenience to the purchaser and the supplier, requirements to be specified by the
purchaser while making an enquiry or placing an order for hot tar and bitumen heaters have been
listed in AnnexA.
This edition 3.1 incorporates Amendment No. 1 (March 2000). Side bar indicates modification of
the text as the result of incorporation of the amendment.
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with,
the final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test, shall be rounded off in
accordance with IS2:1960 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised)’. The number of
significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified
value in this standard.IS2094(Part1) :1996

SAFETY CODE FOR ERECTION OF
CONCRETE FRAMED STRUCTURES
0. FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution
on 16 November 1978, after the draft finalized by the Safety in Construc-
tion Sectional Committee had heen approved by the Civil Engineering
Division Council.
0.2 Erection of concrete framed structures is an important operation in the
construction industry. The work involved is of specialized and hazardous
nature, which sometimes leads to accidents. It is necessary, therefore,
that certain rules are laid down for various phases of work involved and
that these are meticulously followed by each member of the crew working
on the job, not only for his own safety but also for the safety of his fellow
workers and onlookers. This standard has, therefore, been formulated to
lay down safety requirements during erection of concrete framed
structures.
O-3 In the formulation of this standard due weightage has been given to
international coordination among the standards and practices prevailing
in different countries in addition to relating it to the practices in the field
in this country.
6.4 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this
standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, express-
ing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with
IS : 2-1960.. The number of significant places retained in the rounded off
value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.
1. SCOPE
1.1’T his standard lays down the safety requirements for erection of
concrete framed structures.
1.2 Safety requirements for erection of structural steel work are covered
separately in IS : 72051973t.
*Rules for rounding off numerical valuer ( rcuirrd).
tSafcty code for erection on structural ate-+ work.2. HANDLING OF MATERIALS
2.1 Workmen handling cement bags shall wear goggles and durable close
fitting clothes. Workmen handling cement, who are continually exposed
to it, shall, in addition to the above be equipped with hand gloves and
dust mask. All workmen shall wear adequate clothing to protect them-
selves from direct sun-rays and other irritants.
3. HANDLING OF PLANTS
3.1 Mixersi
3.1.1 All gears, chains and rollers of mixers shall be properly guarded.
If the mixer has a charging skip the operator shall ensure that the workmen
are out of danger before the skip is lowered. Railings shall be provided
on the ground to prevent anyone walking under the skip while it is being
lowered.
3.1.2 All cables, clamps, hooks, wire roFes, gears and clutches, etc, of
the mixer, shall be checked and shall be cleaned, oiled and greased and
serviced once a weak. A trial run of the mixer shall be made and defects
shall be removed before operating a mixer.
3.1.3 When workmen are cleaning the inside of the rums, the operatini
power of the mixer shall be locked in the off position and all fuses shall be
removed and a suitable notice hung at the place.
3.2 Cranes
3.2.1 Cranes rails, where used, shall be installed on firm ground and
shall be properly secured. In case of tower cranes, it shall be ensured
that the level difference between the two rails remains within the limits
prescribed by the manufacturer to safeguard against toppling of the crane.
3.2.2 Electrical wiring which can possibly touch the crane or any
n)ember being lifted shall be removed, or made dead by removing the
controlling fuses and in their absence controlling switches.
3.2.3 All practical steps shall be taken to prevent the cranes being
operated in dangerous proximity to a live overhead power line. In
particular, no member of the crane shall be permitted to approach within
the following distance of overhead power lines:
11 kV and below l-40 m
33 kV and below 3.60 m
132 kV and below 4.70 m
275 kV and below 5.70 m
400 kV and below 6.50 m
43.2.3.1 Ifit becomes necessary to operate the cranes with cle;uances
less than those specified in 3.2.3, it shall be ensured that the overhead
power lines shall invariably be shut off during the period of operation of
cranes. Location of any underground power cables in the area of
operation shall also be ascertained and necessary safety precautions shall
be taken,
3.24 Cranes shall not be used at a speed which causes the boom to
swing.
3.2.5 A crane shall be thoroughly examined at least once in a period of
6 months by a competent person who shall record a certificate of the
check. Any defect noticed shall be removed before allowing crane to be
used. A crane, including all ropes, clamps and hooks shall be inspected
by a responsible person and defective ropes, clamps, hooks, etc, replaced
before taken into use every time.
3.2.6 The operator of the crane shall follow the safe reach of the crane
as shown by the manufacturers.
3.2.7 Unauthorised persons shall not be allowed to move near and
around the crane. No person shall be lifted or transported by the crane
on its hook or boom.
3.2.8’ Concrete buckets handled by crane or overhead cableway shall be
suspended from deep-throated hooks, preferably equipped with a swivel
and safety latch. In the concrete buckets, both bottom drop type and
side drop type, closing and locking of the exit door of the bucket shall
always be checked by the man incharge of loading concrete in the bucket
to avoid accidental opening of the exit door and consequent falling of
concrete.
3.2.9 When the bucket or other members being lifted are out of $ght of
the crane operator, a signalman shall be posted in clear view of the
receiving area and the crane operator.
3.2.10 A standard code of hand signals shall be adopted in controlling
the movements of the crane and both the driver and the signaller shall be
thoroughly familiar with the signals.
3.2.10.1 The driver of the crane shall respond to signals only from
the appointed signaller but shall obey stop signal at any time no matter
who gives it.
3.2911 If a travelling gantry crane is operating over casting beds, a
warning signal which sounds automatically during travel should be
provided to avoid accidents to workmen crossing or standing in the path
of the moving loads.
53.3 T&k8
3.3.1 II&n trucksa re being used on ,tbe site, traffic problems shall be
taken care of. A reasonably smooth traflic surface shall be provided.
If practicable, a loop road shall he provided to permit continuous operation
of vehicles and to eliminate their backing. If a continuous loop is not
possible, a turnout shall be provided. Backing operations shall‘ be con-
trolled by a signalman positioned so as to have a clear view of the area
behind the truck and to be clearly visible to the truck driver. Movement
of workmen and plant shall be routed to avoid crossing, as much as
possible, the truck lanes.
4. FORMWORK
4.1 Formwork shall be designed after taking into consideration spans,
setting temperature of concrete, dead load and working load to be
supported and safety factor for the materials used for formwork.
4.2 All timber formwork shall be carefully inspected before use and
members having cracks and excessive knots shall be discarded.
4.3 As timber centering usually takes an initial set when vertical load is
applied, the design of this centering shall make allowance for this factor.
4.4 The vertical supports shall be adequately braced or otherwise secured
in position so that these do not fall when the load gets released or the
supports are accidentally hit.
4.5 Tubular steel centering shall be used in accordance with the manu-
facturer’s instructions. When tubular steel and timber centering is to be
used in combination, necessary precautions shall be taken to avoid any
unequal settlement under load.
4.6 A thorough inspection of tubular steel centering is necessary before its
erection and members showing evidence of excessive rusting, kinks, dents
or damaged welds shall be discarded. Buckled or broken members shall
be replaced. Care shall also be taken that locking devices are in good
working order and that coupling pins are effectively aligned to frames,
4.7 Afta assembling the basic unit, adjustment screws shall be set to their
approximate final adjustment and the unit shall be level and plumb so
that when additional frames are installed the tower shall be in level and
plumb. The centering frames shall be tied together with sufficient braces
to make a rigid and solid unit. It shall be ensured that struts and diagonal
braces are in proper position and are secured so that frames develop full
load carrying capacity. As erection progresses, all connecting devices shall
be in place and shall be fastened for full stability of joints and units.
64.9 In case of i;mber posts, vertical joiirts shall be properly designed. The
connections shall normally be with bolts and nuts. Use of rusted or spoiled

4.9 Unless the timber centering is supported by a manufacturer’s certificate
about the loads it can stand, centering shall be designed by a competent
engineer.
4.10 Centering layout shall be made by a qualified engineer and shall be
strictly followed. The bearing capacity of the soil shall be kept in view
for every centering job. The effect of weather conditions shall also be
taken into consideration as dry clay may become very plastic after a
rainfall and show marked decrease in its bearing capacity.
4.11 Sills under the supports shall be set on firm soil or other suitable
material in a p.attern which assures adequate stability for all props. Care
shall be taken not to disturb the soil under the supports. Adequate
drainage shall be provided to drain away water coming due to rains,
washing of forms or during the curing of the concrete to avoid softening of
the supporting soil strata.
4.12 All centering shall be finally inspected to ensure that:
a) footings or sills under every post of the centering are sound.
b) all lower adjustment screws or wedges are snug against the legs of
the panels.
c) all upper adjustment screws or heads of jacks are in full contact
with the formwork.
d) panels are plumb in both directions.
e) all cross braces are in place and locking devices are in closed and
secure position.
f) in case of CHHAJAS and balconies, the props shall be adequate
to transfer the load to the supporting point.
4.13 During pouring of the concrete, the centering shall be constantly
inspected and strengthened, if required, wedges below the vertical supports
tightened and adjustment screws properly adjusted as necessary. Adequate
yzp af centering shall be ensured from moving vehicles or swinging
.
4.14 Forms shall not be removed earlier than as laid down in the specifica-
tions and until it is certain that the concrete has developed sufficient
strength to support itself and all loads that will be imposed on it. Only
workmen actually engaged in removing the formwork shall be allowed in
the area during these operations. Those engaged in removing the form-
work shall wear helmets, gloves and heavy soled shoes and approved safety
belts if adequate footing is not provided above 2 m level. While cutting
7any tying wires in tension, care shall be taken to prevent back lash which
might hit the body.

shall Se kegt turned up close to the anchor plate, wherever -possible, to
avoid serious damage if a hydraulic line fails.
6.5 Pul!ing-headers, bolts and hydraulic jacks/rams shall be inspected for
siqns of deformation and failure of threads on bolts and nuts should be
frequently inspected for diminishing cross section. The pumping and
fittings shall be checked periodically. Choked units shall he carefully
cleaned.
6.6 Care shall be taken that no one stands in line with the tensioning
elements and jacking equipment during the tensioning operations and that
no one is directly over the jacking equipment when deflecting is being
done. Signs and barriers shall be provided to prevent workmen from
working behind the jacks when the stressing operation is in progress.
6.7 Necessary shields should be put up immediate& behind the prestress-
ing jacks during stressing operations.I8t8989~1978
6.8 Wedges and temporary anchoring devices should be inspected. before
use.
6.9 The prestressing jacks shall be periodically examined for wear and
tear.
7. ERECTION OF PREFABRICATED MEMBER8
9.1 A spreader beam shall be used wherever possible so that the cable can
be as perpendicular to the members being lifted as practical. The angle
between the cable and the member to be lifted shall not be less than 60’;
except that where the engineer-in-charge first satisfies himself, by actual
calculations, that having a flatted angle between the cable and member
shall not produce excessive stresses in the member being lifted or in the
cable, such flatted angle, up to 30’ minimum, may be allowed.
7.2 No one shall be allowed under the members while these are being
lifted, transported or erected.
7.3 The lifting wires shall have been tested for double the load to be
handled at least once in six months. The guy line shall he of adequate
strength to perform their function of controlling the movement of members

7.4 Temporary scaffolding of adequate strength shall be used to support
precast and members at predetermined supporting points while lifting and
placing them in position and connecting them to other members.
7.5 After erection of the member, it shall be guyed and braced to prevent
it from being tipped or dislodged by accidental impact when setting the
next member.
7.6 Precast’concrete units shall be haLIdled at specific picking points and
with specific devices designated by the designer. Girders and beams shall
be braced during transportation and handled in such a way as to keep the
members upright.

FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Part 7) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft
finalized by the Water-Proofing and Damp-Proofing Sectional Committee had been approved by
the Civil Engineering Division Council.
Bitumen felts may be of different types depending upon the raw material used and their
construction. IS 1322 : 1993 ‘Specification for bitumen felts for water-proofing and damp-proofing
(fourth revision)’ and IS 7193 : I993 ‘Specification for glass fibre base coal tar pitch and bitumen
felts (first revision)’, cover bitumen felts of hessian based and glass fibre base respectively. The
above standards require, amongst other requirements, detailed testing of each of these products.
Various methods of test relating to each product for determination of physical properties have
been included in the separate standards. All types of felts have to satisfy some common essential
physical requirements for which methods of tests are same. A series of standards covering
methods of test have therefore been formulated to cover the determination of various physical
requirements of bitumen felt. This standard covers determination of binder content. Other parts of
this standard are as follows:
Part 1 Breaking strength test
Part 2 Pliability test
Part 3 Storage sticking test
Part 4 Pressure head test
Part 5 Heat resistance test
Part 6 Water absorption test
The Composition of the technical committee responsible for the formulation of this standard is
given in Annex A.
This edition 1.1 incorporates Amendment No. 1 (August1999). Side bar indicates modification of
the text as the result of incorporation of the amendment.
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with,
the final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test, shall be rounded off in
accordance with IS 2 : 1960 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised)’. The number of
significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified
value in this standard.IS 13826 (Part 7) : 1993

FOREWORD
This Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by
the Hydraulic Structures Instrumentation Sectional Committee had been approved by the River
Valley Division Council.
The device developed for recordirg stress directly, is not capable of recording tensile stresses.
Besides, it is very expersive and requires much more care for installation than that required for
strain measurirg instruments. For this reason measurement of strain in the dam is considered
important.
Strain measuring device, when embedded in the concrete dam determines actual accumulated
length changes at the point of instrument location due to changes in volume of mass concrete,
namely, those resulting from applied loads and due to several other causes such as creep,
temperature change, moisture change and chemical action of concrete.
It is recessary to sort out those parts of changes in length which are not attributed directly to
stress developments in the mass concrete. These parts are due to : ( a ) volume changes due to
charges in moisture content, ( b ) thermal expansion, and ( c > autogenous growth. For large mass
of concrete, it has been observed that moisture change is inconsequential and in most cases may
be neglected in the stress-strain computations.
The effect of temperature on the volume change of concrete through thermal expansion shall also
be considered. To compute this effect, a laboratory determination of the coefficient of thermal
expansion of the concrete of the dam containing the embedded instruments is made.
The volume change due to autogenous growth characteristics vary depending on the type of
cement used and the materials used in making the concrete. The growth may produce an increase
or a decrease in volume during the process of hydration.
With a view to determining strain due to all causes other than stree, a ‘no-stress’ strain meter
exposed to the same conditions as those of the surrounding concrete close to the strain meter is
installed.
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard, is complied with,
the final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded
off in accordance with IS 2 : 1960 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised )‘. The
number of significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the
specified value in this standard.IS 13232: 1992

METHODS OF
SAMPLING AND TEST (PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL) FOR
WATER AND WASTEWATER
PART 37 ARSENIC
( First Revision )
1. scope- Prescribes three methods for determination of arsenic. In the atomic absorption
spectrometric method, arsenic is converted int6 its hydride and the atomized to gas phase atoms. Th’
silver diethyl dithiocarbamate method .is applicable when interferences are absent. Mercuric bromid
stain method requires care and experience. The choice depends upon the accuracy required.
1.1 The silver diethyl dithiocarbamate ,method shall be the refree method.
2. Atomic Absorption Method
!.l Scope and Application -Arsenic is converted into its volatile hydride by sodium borohydrid
‘eagent in acid solution. The hydride is purged continuously by argon or nitrogen into an appropriat
atomizer of an atomic absorption spectrometer and converted to gas phase atoms. The sodiur
aorohydride reducing agent, by rapid generation of elemental hydrides in an appropriate reaction ccl
ninimizes dilution of hydrides by the carrier gas and provides rapid, sensitive determination.
!.2 Interferences -fnterferences are minimized because arsenic hydride is removed from solution
:ontaining most potential interfering substances. Slight response variations occur when acid matrlce
sre varied. Treating the samples and standard in the same manner control this variations. Lov
:oncentrations of noble metals, copper, lead, nickel at or greater than 1 mg/l and hydride formini
: , elements like bismuth, antimony, tin and telurium at concentrations between 0’1 and 1 mg/l ma1
: uppress the response of arsenic.

2.5 Procedure
2.5.1 Setting up of apparatus - Set up es given in Fig. 1 or according to manufacturer’s instructions.
Connect inlet of reaction cell with auxilary purging gas by flow meter. If a drying cell between the
reaction cell and atomizer is necessary, use only anhydrous calcium chloride but not calcium sulphate.
Before using the hydride generation/analysis, system, optimize operating parameters. Aspirate aqueous
solutions of arsenic directly into the flame to facilitate atomizer alignment. Align quartz automizers for
maximum, absorbance. Establish purging gas flow, concentration and rate of addition of sodium
borohydride reagent solution volume and rate of the stirring for optimum instrument response. If
quartz atomizer is used, optimize cell temperature. The recommended wavelength is 193’7 nm for
arsenic.
2.5.2 Calibration - Transfer 0’00, 1’00, 2’00, 5’00, 10’00, 15’00 and 20’00 ml standard SOlUtiOnS of
arsenic ( III ) to 100 ml volumetric flasks and make up to mark with water containing same acid
concentration used for sample preservation. This yields standard solutions of 0, 1, 2, 5, 10 and 20 tJ.g
arsenic.
2.5.3 Preparation of samples and standards for total recoverable arsenic - Add 50 ml sample or
arsenic ( III ) standard to 200 ml beaker. Add 7 ml of 18 N sulphuric acid and 5 ml concentrated nitric
acid. Add a small boiling chip of glass beads. Evaporate to dulphur trioxide fumes. Maintain oxidizing
conditions at all times by adding small amounts of nitric acid. Maintain an excess of nitric acid until all
organic matter is destroyed. Complete digestion usually as indicated by a light coloured solution. Cool
slightly, add 25 ml water and 1 ‘ml concentrated perchloric acid; and evaporate t0 fumes of sulphur
trioxide to expel oxides of nitrogen. After final evaporation of sulphur trioxide fume, dilute to 50 ml.

2.5.4 Preparation of samples and standards for total arsenic - Add 50 ml sample or standard to
2oo ml beaker. Add 1 ml of 2’50 N sulphuric acid and 5 ml of 5 percent potassium persulphate. Boil
gently on a preheated hot plate for about 30 minutes or until the final volume is reduced to 10 ml. Do
not let sample go to dryness. After manual digestion, dilute to 50 ml.
2.5.5 Determination - To 50 ml digested standard or sample in a 200 ml beaker, add 5 ml concentra-
ted hydrochloric acid and mix. Add 5 ml of sodium iodide pre-reductant solution, mix and wait at least
30 minutes. Attach one beaker at a time to the rubber stopper containing the gas dispersion tube for
the purging of gas, sodium borohydride reagent inlet and the outlet to the atomizer. Turn on strip chart
recorder and wait until the base line is established by the purging gas and all is expelled from reaction
cell. Add 0’5 ml of sodium borohydride reagent. After the instrument absorbance has reached e
maximum and returned to the base line, remove beaker, rinse dispersion tube with water and proceed to
next sample or standard. Periodically compare arsenic ( Ill ) and arsenic ( V ) curves for response
consistency. Check for presence of chemical interferences that supress instrument response for arsenic
by treating a digested sample with 10 pg/l arsenic (III ) or arsenic ( V ) as appropriate, Average
recoveries should be not less than 90 percent.
2.6 Calculation - Construct a standard curve by plotting peak heights of standards versus concentration
of standards. Measure peak heights of samples and read concentrations from the curve. If sample was
diluted before digestion, apply an appropriate factor.
3. Silver Diethyl Dithiocarbamate Method
3.1 Scope and Application - Inorganic arsenic is reduced to amine by zinc in acid solution in an arsine
generator. The arsine is then passed through scrubber containing glass wool impregnated with lead
acetate solution and into an absorber tube containing silver diethyl dithiocarbamate dissolved in pyridine
or chloroform. In the absorber, arsine reacts ‘with silver salt forming a soluble red complex suitable
for spectrophotometric measurement.
3.2 interference - Certain metals like chromium, cobalt, copper, mercury nickel, potassium and silver
interfere in the generation of arsine. The concentration of these metals normally present in water and
wastewaters do not interfere significantly. Antimony salt interferes with colour developments.
3.2.1 The minimum detectable quantity is 1 pg of arsenic,

EXPLANATORY NOTE
Arsenic may occur in water as a result of mineral dissolution, industrial discharges or application
of insecticides. Severe poisoning can arise from ingestion of as little as 100 mg of arsenic. The
arsenic concentration on most potable waters seldom exceeds 0’01 mg/l. This standard supersedes 40

FOREWORD
This Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards after the draft finalized by
the Pesticides Residue Analysis Sectional Committee had been approved by the Food and Agriculture
Division Council.
Both, atrazine ( 2-chloro-4-ethylamino-6-isopropylamino-5-triazine ) and simazine ( 2-chloro-4,
6-bis-ethylamino-s-triazine ) are used as herbicides in agriculture for the control of weeds.
Assessment of their residues in food commodities is therefore an important step in safeguarding
human health and establishment of regulatory policy.
This standard will enable the health authorities and others engaged in the field to follow uniform
test procedures for the estimation of residues of atrazine and simazine in various commodities.
In the preparation of this standard, due consideration has been given to the maximum limits of
atrazine and simazine residues laid under the provisions of Prevention of Food Adulteration Act,
1954 and the Rules framed thereunder. The test method is restricted to the prescribed level of
residues.
In reporting the results of a test or analysis made in accordance with this standard, if the final value,
observed or calculated, is to be rounded off, it shall be done in accordance w$h IS 2 : 1960 ‘Rules.
for rounding off numerical values ( revised )‘.IS 13829 : 1993

CODE OF PRACTICE FOR
WATER SUPPLY IN BUILDINGS
Second Revision)
(
0. FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard ( Second Revision ) was adopted by the Indian
Standards Institution on 30 November 1983, after the draft finalized by
the Water Supply and Sanitation Sectional Committee had been approved
by the Civil Engineering Division Council.
0.2 This standard, first published in 1963 ‘and subsequently revised in 1952,
made an attempt to provide the minimum standards for the design, layout
and workmanship governing water supply in buildings and helped in bring-
ing about desired uniformity in the bye-laws and regulations framed by
different water supply authorities in the country. The need for following
the regulations are imperative as they are intended for the prevention of
waste, misuse, undue consumption and contamination of drinking water,
the conservation of which has become an urgent necessity in view of its
increasing demand.
0.2.1 The salient changes made in the revision are for estimating the
demand load for water supply system, for which the minimum water supply
requirements for residential purposes has been changed to 200 liters per
head per day and the discharge curve are now based on Hazen and
William formula.
0.2.2 A separate Indian Standard laying down guidelines for registra-
tion of plumbers is under preparation.
0.9 For the purpose of deciding whether a ,particular requirement of this
standard is complied with the final value, observed or calculated,
expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off iA
accordance with IS : 2-1960*. The rmmber of significant places retained
in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value
in this standard.

flow that will be satisfactory for any part of
depend upon the consumer, his standard of living, his professional needs,
the size of the family and other, ancilliary requirements, such as
gardening.
5.2.1 The water supply requireme&.s for’ residences and. for buildings
other than residences have been specified in IS : 1172-1983*. Whereas
in the case of buildings other than residences, the number of persons
normally required to occupy the same is usually known; in the case of
residences, the number of persons occupying the premises varies largely
from place to place. In many large cities, there is over-crowding in
residential buildings. The requirements stipulated in this code are based
upon an average family of 5 and a consumption of 1000 litres per one
dwelling unit. Thus if a building contains ten dwelling units, the rquire-
ment of water has been taken as 10 000 litres per day.
5.3 Rate of Flow - One of the important items that needs to be deter-
mined before the sizes of pipes and fittings for any part of the water piping
system may be decided upon, is the rate of flow in the service pipe which,
in turn,.depends upon the mimber of hours for which the supply. is avai-
lable at sMciently high pre ure. If the number of hours for which the
supply is available is less, t$ epe will be large number of fittings in use
simultaneously and the rate df flow will be correspondingly large.
%
5.3.1 “me data rquired for determining the size of the communication
and service pipe are (a) the maximum rate of discharge required, (b) the
length of the pipe, (c) the head loss by friction in that length, and (d) the.
roughness of the jnterior surf& of the pipe. In determining the head
loss by friction, allowance shall be made for the elevation of the
intake works in relation to the available pressure in the water main and of_
the losses in fittings, such as bends, stoptaps meters f see IS : 2951 _
( Part 2 )-1965t]and any obstnxtions to the flow of water. As the pipe-
line tends to accumidate internal jncrustation in course of time, normally
a~ average value for w co-eEcient 6 C ’ is assumed.
5.4 Di+harge compu-&m
5.4.1 Several formulae, diagrams and tables of calculated values are
available for the measurement of flow through pipes. However, almost
all studies based on the Reynolds number of flow, pipe roughness and flow

PWiSiiWI).
tRecommend&tion for estimation of Row of Iiuids in closed conduits : Part 2 Head
loa in valves and &tin*.
11pattern ( like turbulent, transient, laminar ) yields accurate and mutually
consistent results over a very large range of the flow compared to emperi-
cal formulae which have limitations regarding their range of applicability.
Although non-dimensional parameters are used, these rational formulae
based on Raynolds number need information on viscosity and the calcula-
tions are more involved. To obviate the involved calculations, a universal
pipe friction diagram as prescribed in IS : 2951 ( Part 1 )-1965* and
IS : 2951 ( Part 2 )-1965t may be followed.
5.4.2 Temperature of water and consequently its viscosity at a place is
an extremely variable factor, depending upon season and time. Further,
commercially available standard sizes of pipes are only to be used against
the size arrived at by actual design. Therefore, several emperical formulae
are used, even though they give less accurate results. The Hazen and
William formula and the charts based on the same may be used without
any risk of inaccuracy in view of the fact that the pipes normally to be
used for water supply are of smaller sizes.. Nomogram of Hazen and
William’s equation has been provided in Appendix C.
6. MATERIALS, FITTINGS AND APPLIANCES
6.1 Standards for Materials, Fittings and Appliances- All materials
used in the construction of any of the works or any of the appliances
described in this code shall conform to the relevant Indian Standards where
available in so far as these standards are applicable. Where no such
standards exist, the materials shall be of the quality and workmanship
acceptable to the Authority, and shall be open to inspection at the manu-
facturer’s works before despatch.
6.2 Materials for Pipes - Pipes may be of any of the following
materials:
a) Cast iron, vertically cast or centrifugally ( spun ) cast ( see IS :
1.536-1976$ and IS : 1537-1976s;
b) Steel ( lined or coated with bitumen or bituminous composition
and out-coated with cement concrete or mortar, where necessary )
( see IS : 1916-196311a nd IS : 3589196611);
c) Reinforced concrete ( se6 IS : 458-1971** );

6.2.1 In choosing the material for piping and fittings, account shall be
taken of the character of the water to be conveyed through it, the nature
of the ground in which the piping is to be laid and the relative cost as
compared with its useful life. The material shall be resistant to corrosion,
both inside and outside or shall be suitably protected against corrosion.
6.2.2 Lead piping shall not be used to convey domestic water supply as
most of the waters in India are plumb0 solvent and are liable to cause lead
poisoning. Lead piping may, however, be used for flushing and overflow
pipes. It is liable to corrosion on contact with fresh cement mortar or
concrete and shall be protected by wrapping with a protective material
which will also permit movement due to expansion and contraction.
6.2.3 Copper piping may be used particularly in hot water installations
provided water is not capable of dissolving an undue amount of copper.
6.2.4 Asbestos cement pipes may be used; however, adequate safeguards
should be taken while laying backfilling ( see IS : 6530-1972 ]]I]) .

7. CONVEYANCE AND DISTRIBUTION OF WATER WITHIN THE
PREImSES
7.1 B&c Principles - Some of the details of plumbing which are consi-
dered necessary for properly designed, acceptably installed and adequa-
tely maintained plumbing systems are given in 7.2 to 7.12. Though the
details of construction may vary, the basic sanitary and safety principles
are the same, and they merit serious study. Furthermore, in the event
of any unforeseen situation not covered by specific provisions in this code,
the principles enumerated may serve as useful guides.
7.2 Wholesome water supply provided for drinking and culinary purposes
shall not be liable to contamination from any less satisfactory water. There
shall, therefore, be no cross-connection whatsoever between a pipe or
fitting for conveying or containing wholesome water and a pipe or fitting
for containing impure water or water IiabIe to contamination or of uncer-
tain u&y or water which has been used for any purpose.. The provision
of re f ux or non-return valves or closed and sealed stop valves shall not
be construed as a permissible substitute for complete absence of cross-
connection.
7.3 The,design of the pipe work shall be such that there is no possibility~
of backflow towards the source of supply from any cistern or appliance
whether by siphonage or otherwise. Reflux or non-return valves shall not’
be relied upon to prevent such backflow.
7.4 Where a supply of wholesome water is required as an alternative or
stand-by to a supply of less satisfactory water or is required to be mixed
with the latter, it shall.be delivered only into a cistern, and by a pipe of
fitting discharging into the air gap at a height above the top edge of the
cistern equal to twice its nominal bore, and in no case less than I50 mm.
It is necessary to maintain a definite air gap in all appliances or taps used
in water-closets.

Part 3 Laying and jointing of unplasticiaed P 3 C pipes.
14l8:2065- 1983
7.5 All pipe work shall be so designed, laid or fixed, and maintained as to
be and to remain completely watertight, thereby avoiding waste of water,
damage to property and the risk of contamination of the water conveyed.
7.6 No piping shall be laid or fixed so as to pass into, through or adjoin-
ing any sewer, scour outlet or drain or any manhole connected therewith
nor through any ash pit or manure pit or any material of such nature
that would be likely to cause undue deterioration of the pipe, except as
permitted in 7.7.
7.6.1 Where lines have to be laid in close proximity to electric cables
or in corrosive soils, adequate precautions should be taken to avoid elec-
trical accidents and corrosion.
7.7 Where the laying of any pipe through corrosive soil or pervious mate-
rial is unavoidable, the piping shall be properly protected from contact
with such soil or material by being carried through an exterior cast iron
tube or by some other suitable means as approved by the Authority. Any
existing piping or fitting laid or fixed, which does not comply with the
above requirements, shall be removed immediately by the consumer and
relaid by him in conformity with the above requirements and to the
satisfaction of the Authority.
7.8 In designing and planning the layout of the pipe work, due attention
shall be given to the maximum rate of discharge, required economy in
labour and materials, protection against damage and corrosion, protection
from frost, if required, and to avoidance of airlocks, noise transmission and
unsightly arrangement.
7.9 To reduce frictional losses, piping shall be as smooth as possible inside.
Methods of jointing shall be such as to avoid internal roughness and
projection at the joints, whether of the jointing materials or otherwise.
7.10 Change in diametef and in direction shall preferably be gradual
rather than abrupt to avoid undue loss of head. No bend or curve in
piping shall be made which is likely to materially diminish or alter the
cross-section.
7.11 Underground piping shall be laid at such a depth that it is unlikely
to be damaged by frost or traffic loads and vibrations. It shall not be laid
in ground liable to subsidence, but where such ground cannot be avoided,
speci’al precautions shall be taken to avoid damage to the piping. Where
piping has to be laid across recently disturbed ground, the ground shall be
thoroughly consolidated so as to provide a continuous and even support.
7.12 No boiler for generating steam or closed boilers of any description or
any machinery shall be supplied direct from a service or supply pipe.
Every such boiler or inachinery shall be supplied from a feed cistern.
15a GENERAL mQummmms FOR PIPE WORK
8.1 Gene4 - The following general principles shall apply in the layout
and planning of the pipe work,
al.1 Any pipe going underground should have adequate cover.
8.1.2 Every communication ipe shall have inserted in it, in an acces-
sible position, a stop cock o F the prescribed kind, having an area of
waterway at least equal to the internal sectional area of the communication
pipe. It should be fixed with a cover or guard box so as to be accessible
to the Authority.
8.1.3 Where the service pipe is of diameter less than 50 mm, the stop
valves shall be of the screw-down type and shall have loose washer plates
to ac:t as non-return valves ( SM IS : 781-1977* ). Other stop valves in
the service line may be of the gate type ( see IS : 778.198Ot ),
8.1.4 In flats and tenements supplied by a common service pipe, a stop
tap &all be fixed to control the branch to each separately occupied part.
In e buildings a sufficient number of stop valves shall be fixed on
bran? J! pipes, and to control roups of ball valves and draw off taps,
so as to minimize interruption o P the supply during repairs. All such stop
valves shall be fixed in accessible ‘positions and properly protected from
being tampered with; they may be of the gate type to minimize loss of head
b,’ friction.
8.13 Water for drinking or for culinary purposes shall not, as far as
possible, pass through any cistern, and, therefore, direct taps supplying
water for these purposes shall be on branch pipes connected directly to the
service pipe.
8.1.8 Pumps shall not be allowed on the service pipe as they cause a
drop of pressure on the suction side thereby affecting the supply to the
adjoining properties. In cases where pumping is required a pro erly
protected storage tank of adequate capacity shall be provided to fee B the
pump.
8.1.7 Service pipes thall be so designed and constructed as to avoid air-
locks, so that all piping and fittings above ground can be completely
emptied of wafer to facilitate repairs. There shall be draining taps or
draw-off taps ( not underground ) at the lowest points, from which the
piping shall rise continuously to draw-off taps, ball valves, cisterns, or vents
( where provided ) at thG high points.

rervicer ( s6cond rmin’on ).
tSpecification for copper alloy gate, globe and check valve8 for water works
purposes ( third revision) .lS:2065.1983
8.l.8 Service pipes shall be designed so as to reduce the production and
tr:lnsmission of noise as much as possible. Appliances which create noise
shall be installed as far distant as possible from the living rooms of the
house and shall be housed in sound-proof cabins. The planning of the
building shall allow for such arrangements. High velocity of water in
piping and fittings shall be avoided. Piping shall be confined as far as
possible, to rooms where appliances are fixed; it shall have easy bends, and
where quietness is particularly desired, holder bats or clamps shall be
insulated from the piping by suitable pads.
8.1.9 The rising pipe to the storage cistern, if any, or any feed cistern
shall be taken as directly as possible to the cistern and shall be fixed away
from windows or ventilators.
8.1.10 Piping shall be so located that it is not unduly exposed to
accidental damage, and shall be fixed in such positions as to facilitate
cleaning and avoid accumulations of dirt.
8.1.11 All pipe work shall be planned so that the piping is accessible for
inspection, replacement and repair. To avoid its being unsightly, it is
usually possible to arrange it in or adjacent to cupboards, recesses, etc,
provided there is sufficient space to work on the piping with the usual
tools. Piping shall not be buried in walls or solid Jloors. Where unavoidable
piping may be buried for short distances provided that adequate protection
is given against damage and that no joints are buried. If piping is laid
in ducts or chases, there shall be enough space to facilitate repairs and shall
be so constructed as to prevent the entry of vermin. To facilitate removal
of pipe casing, floor boards covering piping shall be fixed with screws or
bolts.
8.1.12 When it is necessary for a pipe to pass through a wall or floor,
a sleeve shall be fixed therein for reception of the pipe and to allow
freedom for kxpansion and contraction and other movement. Piping laid
in timber floors shall, where possible, be parallel with the joists.
8.1.13 In buildings where it is desirable to have some means of identi-
fying the use of the various pipes, they shall be painted in accordance with
Appendix D ( see also IS : 2379-1963* ).
8.2 Prohibited Connections - A service pipe shall not be connected
into any distribution pipe; such connection may permit the backflow of
water from a cistern into the SeXViCe pipe, in certain circumstances, with
consequent danger of contamination and depletion of storage capacity. It
might also result in pipes and fittings being subjected to a pressure higher
than that for which they are designed, and in flooding from overflowing
cisterns.
-
*Colour code for the identification af pipelines.8.2.1 No pipe for conveyance or in connection with water supplied by
the Authority shall communicate with any other receptacle used or capable
of being used for the conveyance other than water supplied by the
Authority.
8.2.2 Where storage tanks are provided no person shall connect or be
permitted to connect any service pipe with any distributing pipe.
8.2.3 No service pipe shall be connected to any water-closet .or urinal.
All such supplies shall be from flushing cisterns which shall be supplied
from storage tank ( see 12.3 ).
8.2.4 No service or supply pipe shall be connected directly to any hot-
water system or to any apparatus used for heating other than through a
feed cistern thereof. This shall also apply to every gas producer, gas
engine, compressor, oil engine, cooling jacket or other apparatus in or by
which water supplied by the Authority may be heated.
9. LAYING OF MAINS AND PIPES ON SITE
9.1 Excktion and killing - The bottoms of the trench excavations
shall be carefully prepared so that the barrels .of the pipes, when laid, are
well bedded for their whole length on a firm surface and are true to line
and gradient. The width of the excavation shall be sufficient to allow the
pipes to be properly laid and jointed, joints holes being made where
necessary.
9.1.1 In the refilling of the trenches, the pipes shall be surrounded with
fine selected material, well rammed so as to resist subsequent movement
of the pipes. No stones shallbe in contact with the pipes, and when the
excavation is in rock, the bottom shall be cut deep enough to permit the
pipes to be bedded on alayer of fine selected material, or ( especially where
there is a steep gradient ) on a layer of concrete.
9.2 Preparing Pipes for Laying Underground - The pipes shall be
carefully cleared of all foreign matter before being laid. They shall be
thoroughly brushed out internally with a well-fitting hard brush, and after
laying the open end shall be temporarily plugged to prevent ingress of
water, soil, etc, precaution shall be taken to prevent floatation of the
plugged pipes, should the trench become flooded.
9.2.1 Any coating, sheathing or wrapping of the pipes shall be exa-
mined for damage and repaired, where necessary, and shall also be made
continuous over the joints.
9.2.2 Concrete Pipes and Cast Iron Pipes - Pipes should be laid in
accordance with the requirements given in IS : 783-1959* and IS : 3114-
1965?, respectively.
*Code of practice for laying of concrete pipes.

1893 ‘Laying Underground Mains - Where the trench is on a slope,
pipe laying shall proceed in an c uphill ’ direction to facilitate joint
making.
9.3.1 Except in the case of small pipes under low pressure, thrust blocks
of concrete shall be formed at all bends to transmit the hydraulic thrust
on to undisturbed ground and to spread it over a sufficient area. Whw
the hydraulic thrust is in an upward direction, anchor-blocks of sufficient
weight shall be provided to which the pipes shall be secured with steel
straps. The displacing forces in the mains due to end and radial thrust
on bends are given in Appendix E.
,9.4 Surface Bores - Iron surface boxes shall be provided to give access,
to valves ( see IS : 3950-1979* ) and hydrants, and shall be supported on
concrete or brickwork which shall not be allowed to rest on the pi s,&d
transmit traffic loads to them, allowance being made for set 05e”m ent,
Vertical iron guard pipes may be provided to enclose the spindles of sluice
valves. It is not generally necessary entirely to enclose the valves and
hydrants in brick or concrete chambers, but if the latter are provided they
shall be of sufficient dimensions to permit repairs being carried out to the
fittings.
9.4.1 If the surface box, mounted on a guard pipe, is fixed over the
underground stop valve merely to give access for operating the latter, the
limited space provided by this arrangement will not permit the repacking
of the stop valves gland or other repairs to be carried out with excavation.
The guard pipe may be supported on bricks, and should not rest on the
supply pipe.
9.5 Meters - If the service pipe is to be metered, the meter may be
provided and fixed by the Authority. Private meter of approved type may
be permitted to be used subject to such conditions as the Authority may
prescribe. Meters of domestic type shall conform to the requirements of
IS : 779-1978t. Meters of bulk type shall conform to the requirements of
. IS : 2373-19811. The meter shall be installed in accordance with IS : 2401-
19734. The meter shall be fitted beyond the stopcock with unions to
facilitate the necessary periodic changing of the meter. If fitted in an
exposed position outside the building, the meter shall be housed in
water meter boxes conforming to IS : 2104-198111.

9.6 Laeg Service Pipes - Service pipes of less than 50 mm bore may
be connected to mains by means of right-angled screw-down ferrule of non-
ferrous metal conforming to IS : 2692-1978*, but the ferrule itself shall not
be more than 25 mm bore. Ferrule of 20 mmbore and above shall not be
used in‘mains of less than 100 mm bore. The main is drilled and tapped
and the ferrule screwed in. In case of large-sized trunk mains, this
may be done by a tapping under pressure machine, which will obviate any
interference with the use of the main.
9.6.1 Service pipes of 50 mm bore and upward shall be connected to
special T-branches which have to be inserted into the line of the main.
Special branch pipes shall also be used for service pipes of less than 50 mm
bore where the bore of the main is not greater than thrice that of the
service pipe.
9.6.2 In the process of installing or repairing any part of a plumbing
installation, the finished.&ors, walls, ceilings, tile-work or any other part
.of the building or premises, which shall be changed or replaced, shall be
left in a safe structural condition in accordance with. the requirements of
the relevant codes and any building bye-laws approved by the Authority.
All exterior openings provided for the passage of pipe shall be properly
sealed.
9.6.3 Precautions against contamination of the mains shall be taken
when making a connection, and where any risk exists, the main shall be
subsequently disinfected ( see 13.1 and 13.2 ). The underground water
service pipe and the building sewer or drain shall be kept at a sufficient
distance apart to the satisfaction of the Authority so as to prevent conta-
mination of water. Water service pipes or any underground water pipes
shall not be run or laid in the same trench as the building sewer or drai- .
nage pipe. Where this is unavoidable, the following conditions shall be
fulfilled :
4 The bottom of the water service pipe, at all points, shall be at
least 30 cm above the top of the sewer line at its highest point.
b) The water service pipe shall be placed on a solid shelf excavated
at one side of the common trench.
Cl The number_ of ‘joints in the service pipe shall be kept to a
minimum.
4 The materials and joints of sewer and water service pipe shall be
installed in such a manner and shall possess the necessary strength
and durability SO as to prevent the escape of solids, liquids, and
gases therefrom due totemperature changes, settlement, vibrations
and superimposed loads.
*Specilieation for ferrules for water services ( firerf e&ion ).
2b9.6.4 The service pipe shall. pass i’nt& or beneath the building at a
depth below the external ground level of not less than O-75 m ( provided
the foundation is deeper than 0.75 m ) and at its poi.nt of entry through
the structure should be accommodated in a sleeve which should have
previously been solidly built in. The space between the pipe and the sleeve
shall be filled with bituminous or other suitable material for a minimum
length of 15 cm at both ends.
9.6.5 Care shall be taken to ensure that before the pipeline is charged
all piping and fittings are clean internally, and free from particles of sand
or soil, metal fittings, chips, etc, which besides causing obstructio& may:
lead to failure by corrosion.
9.7 Securing and Supporting of Pipes - Lead piping of not more
than 25 mm bore, in vertical runs, may be secured direct to brick walls
( other than external walls ) by iron pipe clamps driven into the wall joints,
or may be secured to wooden battens or other wood work by iron or brass
clips with ears for screw fixing, the clamps or clips or holder bats being at
not more than 90 cm intervals. Damage to the piping by the ~clamps~
shall be prevented by the insertion of small lead pads.
9.7.1 Copper piping shall be secured by copper or copper-alloy clips
direct to wood work, or by similar bracket-clips built-in to walls or screwed
to plugs.
9.7.2 Wrought iron and steel piping shall be secured in a manner similar
to that used for copper piping, except that the clips shall be of iron or steel.
9.7.3 Plastic pipes should be secured and suppored in accordance with
the recommendations given in IS : 7634 ( Part 2 )-1975* and IS : 7634
( Part 3 )-19757.
9.8 Pipes Laid Througb Ducts, Chases, Notches or Holes - Ducts
or chases in walls for piping shall be provided during the building of the
walls. If they are cut in existing walls, they shall be finished sufficiently
smooth and large enough for fixing the piping. In the case of lead pipes,
the joints may be wiped outside the duct, and the pipes eased back into the
duct after jointing.
9.8.1 Wherever possible back-boards shall be provided rn chases for
fixing the piping; otherwise lead piping shall be protected from contact
with lime or cement by building paper or felt. Where covers are provided
to chases, they shall be fixed with screws for easy removal.

.,’,992 Piping laid in notches or holes shall not be subjected to external
ure, and shall be free to expand and contract without noise due to
lfrimctiso’ n on the wood.
9.9 L8 ging for Pipe* - Where lagged piping outside buildings is
attache a to walls, it shall be entirely covered alround with waterproof insu-
lating material and shall not be in direct contact with the wall. Where it
passes through a wall, whether into a building or not, the lagging shall be
continued along the pipe throughout the thickness of the wall, and where it
emerges-from the ground, the lagging shall be continued into the ground
until the depth of O-75 m is reached.
9.9.1 Lagged piping connected to cisterns, enclosed by insulating casing
shall pass at right angles through the casing and be lagged independently
of the casing if the piping is sandwiched between the cistern and the
casing, it will, probably, not be sufficiently insulated..
9.9.2 The minimum thickness of insulating material for lagging hot-
water piping inside buildings shall be 12 mm in the case of glass in fibre
form, compressed felt, and felted slag or mineral wool and 20 mm in the
case of asbestos, 85 percent magnesia, compressed backed cork and granu-
lated cork ( raw or baked ).
9.9.3 All lagging exposed to moist conditions shall be waterproof or
covered with a waterproof wrapping.
9.10 Spacing of Fixings for Internal Piping - Fixing on internal
pipes shall be spaced at regular intervals as given in Appendix F.
10. JOINTING OF PIPES
10.1 Cast &on Piper - The spigot and socket joints of cast -iron pipes
are usually caulked with lead. The’common form of joint is made by first
caulking in sp/un yam, then fillin the space left in the joint by running in
molten lead, taking care that no b oss enters the joint, and then thoroughly
caulking the lead. The spun yarn shah be clean and sterile and the lead
shall conform to IS : 782-19788. The lead need not extend into the joint
further than the back of the groove formed in the socket.
10.1.1 The spun yarn is used to centre the spigot in the socket, to
prevent the flow of molten lead into the bore of the ‘pe, to reduce the
amount of lead required to complete the joint an $ to make the joint
watertight. Spun yarn may become infected with bacteria, which may
contaminate the water and, therefore, shall be effectively sterilized before
use by being exposed to the vapours of 40 rcent formaldehyde in an air-
. tight chamber for not less than 3 hours. i&ete matively, proprietary brands

of sterilized spun yarn may be’used. Threaded lead or lead wire or strip
may be used instead of spun yarn, thus producing a solid lead joint.
-Lead covered yarn may also be used which does not have the disadvan-
tages of pkln yarn. Cold lead may be caulked into the joint space first
followed by spun yarn, and the joint then completed with ccddor molten
lead.
10.1.L1 Rubber ring joints may also be suitable wherever there is a
provision for them in the spigot made by the manufacturer.
10J.2 Caulking may be done with neumatic tools or with a hand
hammer weighing not less than 2 kg. Ghen working with lead wool, it
is very important to use caulking tools of appropriate thickness to fill the
joint space, and to thoroughly consolidate the material horn the back to
the front of the socket. Lead runjoints shall be preferably finished 3 mm
behind the socket face.

10.M Cast iron pipes may-also be jointed by means of flanges of cast
iron and steel pipes with flanges.welded-on.
XL1.4 Flanged joints shall be made with jointing rings of good quality,
smooth, hard, compressed fibre board (not lessthan 1”5mm thick ) and
of such width as to fitinside the circle of bolts. The rings shall be
smeared thkdy with graphite paste. Alternatively, the jointing rings may
be of rubber or rubber insetion or gutta-percha, or may be corrugated
non-corrosive alloy together with a suitable jointing paste. The nuts shail
be carefully tightened, in opposite pairs, until the joint ring is only just
sufficiently compressed between the flanges to ensure watertightness of the
joint under the desired water pressure.
10.1.5 Several proprietary flexible joints are avaihtble for jointing cast
iron pipes and these may be used with the specific approval of the Autho-
rity. However, they shall be used strictIy in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
10.1.6 For joints in small diameter wrought iron or steel piping and
cast iron piping, copper-alloy screwed unions or ferrules shall be used and
for large diameters, the joints shall be made by flanged ,connecting pieces.
10.2 Welded Steel Pipes — Plain-ended steel piping may be jointed by
welding except where the piping isprovided with a Iining which wotdd be
damaged by heat ( seeIS : 5822-197~ ).

fittings of wrought iron, steel’ or malleable cast iron. Care shall be taken
to remove any burr from the ends of pipes after screwing. A jointing
compound, which may be one of the many proprietary makes, may be used
according to the maker’s instructions together with a grummet of a few
strands of fine yarn, but compounds containing red lead shall not be used
because of the danger of contamination of the water. Any threads exposed
after jointing shall be painted, or in the case of underground piping,
thickly coated with bituminous or other suitable composition to prevent
corrosion.
10.3.1 Screwed wrought iron or steel piping may also be jointed with
screwed flanges of wrought iron, steel or cast iron.
10.4 Asbestos Cement Pipes - Asbestos cement pipes are jointed with
flexible joints supplied by the pipe makers.
lo._5 Copper, Pipes - Screwed copper piping shall be jointed with
scretied copper-alloy fittings. The screw threads of the pipe shall be
cleaned out and the joint made by screwing the fittings on after first treating
the threads with raw linseed oil or other suitable jointing compound.
Alternatively, the screw threads of the pipe and the fittings may be tinned,
and the joint heated to the melting point of the solder when being
screwed.
10.5.1 Plain copper piping shall be jointed with compression ( manipu-
lative or non-manipulative ) or with capillary joints, in each case using
copper-alloy fittings, or by welding. Only manipulative compression
joints, that is, joints in which the pipe ends are flanged, belled or swaged,
are suitable for use with fully annealed copper piping.
10.5.2 In the case of the captllary joint, the pipe end and the interior
of the socket of the fitting shall be cleaned- with steel wool, fluxed, and
fitted together, and the joint then heated to just above the melting point
of the solder, which is either provided in the fitting or is touched into the
joint with a solder stick, and which then flows by capillarity to fill the joint
space. If the pipe is of fully annealed copper, its ends shall be made truly
round before jointing.
10.5.3 It is important that the correct size of fittings is used to suit the
nominal size of the pipe.
10.5.4 Copper piping may be autogenous welded or bronze welded, the
latter giving the stronger joint. The piping may be jointed directly or by
the use of weldable copper or copper alloy fittings.. The welding may be
done by an oxy-acetylene blow pipe, using filler rod of copper or bronze and
a suitable flux. Bronze rod shall be genuine bronze which is not likely to
fall by dezinciiication. Copper piping may be welded to cast brass fittings
by this method. Copper to be welded shall be ‘ deoxidized copper ’ and. -
not ( to gh.pitch..copper ‘. Welding shall be .done by skilled craftsman

11. STORAGE OF WATER
11.1 Purposes for Providing Storage - In a building, provision is
required to be made for storage of water for one or more of the following
reasons :
a) To provide against interruptions of the supply caused by repairs
to mains, etc;
b) To reduce the maximum rate of demand on the mains;
c) To tide over periods of intermittent supply; and
d) To maintain a storage for the fire fighting requirement of the
building.
11.2 Materialr for Construction of Storage Tanks - They shall be
constructed of iron, wrought iron or mild steel plates or sheets and shall
be made watertight without the use of putty. The materials used shall be
of suEciPnt strength and thickness. Reinforced cement concrete tank or
tanks made of any other suitable building material may be allowed as
storage tanks.
11.2.1 Tanks made of galvanized steel sheets may be of welded, riveted’
or pressed construction. The pressed-steel tanks are normally 120 cm

Tanks with-cxfernal flanges are ‘most con6enient except where space is
limited or where it is required to erect them direct on to a flat roof or
floor. Where special sizes of tanks are necessary, these are provided for
by the use of the special making-up plates allowing considerable variation
in size. If of iron or steel, the metal shall be galvanized or coated inter-
nally with bituminous composition or other suitable material of a kind.
which does not impart a taste or odour to the water, especially if this has
been chlorinated, and externally with a good quality anti-corrosive
weather-resisting paint. Lead lined tanksshall not be used. Rectangular t
r;;,sed steel tanks shall conform to the requirements given in IS : 804-
*.
11.3 Storage Tanks and Ball Valves - Every storage tank shall be of
the prescribed kind and shall at all times be made and at all times be
maintained watertight and shall be properly covered with a closed fitting
dust, light and mosquito-proof lid fitted with a lock and key and shall be
provided with a sound and suitable ball valve conforming to IS : 1703-
1977? securely fixed to the tank and set in such a position that the body of
the ball valve cannot become submerged when the cistern is full up to the
water line. Every valve shall be so adjusted as to limit the level-of the
water in the cistern to 25 mm below the lip of the warning or overflow
pipe. A stop valve conforming. to IS : 781-1977$ shall be provided as
near the tank as practicable on every outlet pipe from a storage tank,
excepting on the warning pipe.
11.4 Warning Pipes of Storage Tanks - Every tank shall be
provided with an efficient mosquito-proof warning pipe. The outlet of
the warning pipe shall be in such a position outside the building as will
allow the discharge of water from such warning pipe being readily seen.
The position of the warning pipe shall not be changed except with the
permission of the Authority. The outlet of the warning pipe shall be not
less than 60 cm above any drain, sink or gully over which the’ same may
be fixed. No overflow pipe shall be allowed to be connected directly to
any drain or sewer, nor .shall it discharge on to any street. All warning
pipe unions shall be not less than 20 mm in bore so fixed that the bottom
of the pipe will be 25 mm above the top water level. In every storage
vessel, the water line shall be set below the overflowing level of the warning
pipe,. or of the overflow pipe if there is no warning pipe, at a distance of
not less than 25 mm or of not, less than the internal diameter of the pipe,
whichever is greater.

2611.5 Provision of Stop Valves - Storage tanks shall be provided with a
stop valve or stop tap at every outlet other ‘than overflow pipes, so that
there shall be no necessity to empty the vessel to enable repairs to be
carried out to the downtake pipes, fittings, etc. Such valves or taps shall
preferably be full-way gate valves so as not to impose any undue obstruc-
tion of the flow of the water. A stop valves shall be provided on the.inlet
connection also to facilitate stopping of %ow temporarily in the event of
itiproper functioning of ball valve or for cleaning of. storage tank.
11.6 ,Position of Storage of Tanks - Every storage tank used or %xed
in connection with the water supplied by the Authority shall be easily
accessible and placed in such position as to admit of thorough inspection
and cleaning, and if placed within the house or building, it shall have a
clear space of not less than 60 cm between the top of the cistern and
ceiling, rafter or roof. If the capacity of tank is bigger than 500 litres, a
greater clear space shall be provided.
11.6.1 In cases where overhead storage tanks are supported on roof slab
of the building, careful inspection and calculation shall be carried out to
ascertain whether the structure of the building is of sufficient strength to
take the increased load. The tanks shall be preferably supported on
beareis so as to distribute the load. The tieight of the tank; and its
contents of water shall be calculated and taken into account in the design
of bearers and supports. Where bearers are used as supports, the height
shall not be less than 200 mm clear space.
11.7 Grouping of Storage Tanks - If the storage required is more than
5 QOO1 , it is advantageous to arrange it in a series OS tanks or in compart-
ments so inter-connected that each, can be isolated for cleaning and
inspection,without interfering with the supply of water. This can conve-
niently be done by the use of a header pipe to which each tank/compart-
ment is connected and from which the distributing pipes branch off, each
branch into and out of the header pipe being provided with a stop valve.
Each- tank/compartment shall have its own float-operated valve and over-
%ow pipe, and a draining valve to facilitate cleaning out. It is often
convenient, even in smsill installations, to provide two tanks coupled
together in this way. In large storage tanks, the outlet shall be at the end
opposite the inlet, to avoid stagnation of the water. In high rise buildings,
storage tanks may be placed in different tiers to ensure more equitable
pressure distribution of water.
11.8 Proivision of Outlets - The outlet pipe shall be %xed 50 to 75 inm
above the bottom of the tank and provided preferably with copper gauge
miners. The wash-out or draining pipe shall be made flush at the bottom
of the tank at its lowest point. The %OOF of the tank shall be erected so
as to give a slight fall to the wash-out pipe for cleaning purposes.
2711.9 Underground Storage Tanks - When buried or underground
storage tanks are used for the storage and reception of water for domestic
purposes, the following requirements shall be complied with:
a) The tank shall project at least 30 cm above the highest flood level.
Where this is not possible the manhole cover shall be raised 30 cm
above the highest flood level of the locality or ground level
whichever is higher.
b) The design of the tank shall be such as to provide for the draining
of the tank when necessary and water shall not be allowed to
collect round about the tank.
c) The tank shall be perfectly watertight,
d) The inner surface of the tank shall be rendered smooth as far as
possible.
e) The top of the tank shall’be so levelled as to prevent accumulation
of water thereon.
,f) The .tank. shall’have a complete cement concrete cover leaving a
manhole opening provided with a properly fitting mosquito-proof
hinged cast iron cover fitted with a leakproof cast iron frame.
Where tank is of a large size, adequate number of manholes shall
be provided.
g) No gap shall be allowed to remain round the suction pipe and
arrangement shall be provided for proper discharge, of spill water
from the electric pump by connecting the pump cabin to the water
drain, or by providing a small hole which will enable the water
to flow out.
h) The overflow pipes or vent shafts, if provided, shall have a
wiregauge cover of 1.5 mm mesh properly screwed tightly to the
opening.
11.10 Jointing of Pipes to Storage Tanks - For jointing steel pipe to
a storage tank, the end of the pipe shall be threaded, passed through a
hole in the tank and secured by backnuts both inside and outside. The
pipe end shall be flush with the face of the inside backnut to obvrate corro-
sion of the pipe threads. For joining copper pipe to steel or copper tank
a connector of non-ferrous metal shall be used having a shoulder to bear
on the outside of the tank and secured by a backnut inside.
11.11 Storage Capacities - The quantity of water to be stored shall be
calculated taking into account the following factors:
a) Hours of supply at ‘sufficiently high pressure to fill up the over-
head storage tanks;
b) Frequency of replenishment of overhead tanks, during the
24 hours;
281s:2oti!J~lsm
of
c) Rate and regularity supply; and
d) Consequences of exhausting storage particularly in case of public
buildings like hospitals.
If the water supply is intermittent and the hours of supply are
irregular, it is desirable to have a minimum storage of half-a-day’s supply
for overhead tanks.
11.11.1 The particulars of water supply requirements of residential
buildings and of buildings other than residences are given under 3.1 and 3.2
of IS : 1172-1983*. It has been stipulated that, where there is full-
flushing system a minimum of 200 litres per head per day shall be assured
out of which about 45 litres per head per day may be taken as flushing
requirements and the remaining 155 litres for other domestic purposes.
11.11.2 When a single supply is provided it is not necessary for health
reasons to have separate storage for flushing and sanitary purposes.
In such cases when only one storage tank has been provided, tapping of
water may be done at two different levels so that a part of the water will
be exclusively available for flushing purposes.
11.12 Pamping of Water
11.12.1 In case of multi-storey buildings where the height of the fitting
or storage tank is such as will not permit of their being fed with the avail-
able pressures in the water main, pumping is necessary. The house service
pumps are usually of the centrifugal type driven by electric motors, where
electric power is available.
11.12.2 In cases where pumping is necessary, storage tank shall be
provided either at the ground level or partially buried underground, in
which case it shall conform to the requirements given under 11.9 for
underground storage tanks. The storage tank should have a minimum
capacity of 50 percent of the overhead storage tank. The advantage of
the storage tank is that it can be fed continuously during low pressure
hours and, therefore, the pump can be worked at any time of the day and
the overhead storage ‘may be replenished continuously. The pump also
works at a steady head and there is no chance of overloading.
12. WATER PITMNGS AND APPLIANCES
12.1 Bath, Lavatory and Mixing Taps - Bath, lavatory and mixing
taps shall generally comply with the requirements specified for bib taps in.
*Code of basic requirements for water rupply, drainage and sanitation ( third

IS : 781-1977*. Combination taps, mixing valves ( see IS : t701-196Oj )
or blenders, for mixing hot and cold water and discharging the mixture
through a single outlet shall be fed with both hot water and cold water
under pressure only from cisternsat the same level or from the same
cistern; the cold water should not be s&lied directly from a seroice pipe as other-
&e, there is danger of scalding if the pressure in the service pipe unexpee
tedly fails. To ensure satisfactory results from such fittings, it is also
desirable that the feed pipe does not also feed other fittings.
12;2 Position Where Self-closing Taps are Permissible - Self-closing
taps and other special fittings of makes approved by the Authority may be
permitted to be used on direct pipes and distributing pipes from tanks.
Self-closing taps shall be of non-concussion type and shall comply with
IS : 171L1970$.
12.3 Water-Closet Flushing Cistern - All water closets and urinals
shall be supplied with water from proper flushing cistern or from other
equally efficient and suitable waste preventing apparatus. Flushing cisterns
having 10 litres discharge capacity and discharging at an average rate
of 5 l/s are considered suitable for wash-down water closets and squatting
pans IS : 2556 ( Part 2 )-19818 and IS : 2556 ( Part 3 )-198111.
12.4 ‘vaier-Closet Flush Valves - No person shall fix, fit or use upon
any premises any flush valves, or similar apparatus through which water
supplied by @e Authority is intended to pass unless previous permission of
the Authority is obtained. ‘, Such flush’ valves or flushing apparatus shall
be of the self-closing type and shall be allowed on watersclosets only. The
design of the flushing valve or flushing apparatus of similar type shall be
such that no single flush shall exceed 15 1. All flush valves shall be fitted
with regulating stop cock or valve in addition to the regulating screw on
the top of the valve which shall be sealed by an authorized officer. Every
flush valve shall be provided with a suitable and approved type of stop
cock on the upstream.side of the flush valve.
X2.5 UrinaI Flushing Cistern - Every urinal flushing cistern, in which
water supplied by the Authority is used, shall have an efficient waste
preventing apparatus so constructed as to prevent discharge of more than
5 litres of water to each, stall, basin or compartment at each flush ( see IS .:

ments specified in IS : 1703-1977t.
12.8 Silendng Pipe+ of Ball Valves - A silencing pipe may be fitted
to a ball valve when 4 ermitted by the- Authority and in such cases anti-
siphonage holes shall be provided in the pipe or in the body of valves and
these holes shall be above the overflow level.
13. CLEANING AND DISINFECTION OF THE SUPPLY SYSTEM
13.4 All water mains, communication pipes, service and distribution pipes
used for water for domestic purposes should be thoroughly and efficiently
disinfected before being taken into use and also after every major repair
The method of disinfection shall be subject to the approval of the Autho-
rity. They shall also be periodically cleaned at intervals,depending upon
the quality of water and the treatment it receives before use. It is,
however, desirable that the communication pipes and the storage cisterns
are thoroughly. cleaned at least once every year in order to remove any
suspended impurities that may have settled in the pipes or the tanks.
13.2 Disinfection of Storage Tanks and Downtake Distribution
Pipes - Storage tanks and downtake distribution pipes shall be disinfected
as follows:
The storage tanks and pipes shall first be filled with water and
thoroughly flushed out. The storage tanks shall then be filled with Water
again and disinfecting chemical containing chlorine added gradually while
the tanks are being filled, to ensure thorough mixing. SUacient chemical
shall be used to give the water a dose of 50 parts of chlorine to- one million
parts of water. If ordinary bleachin powder is used, the propor-
tion will be 150 g of powder to 1000 $ of water. The powder shall
be mixed with water to a creamy consistency before being added to the
water in the storage tank. If a pro rietary brand of chemical is used, the
proportions shall be as specified by tR e makers. When the storage tank is
full, the supply shall be stopped and all the taps on the distributing pipes
opened successively, working progressively away from the storage tank.
Each tap shall be closed when the vater discharge. begins to smell of
chlorine. The storage tank shall then be topped up with water from the
supply pipe and .witb more disinf’ixting chemical in the recommended
.

least for three hours. Finally the tank and pipes ahall be thoroughly
flushed out before any water is used for domestic purposes.
14. INSPECTION ANO TESTING
14.1 Testing of Mains Before Conmmdng Work - AU pipes, flttings
and appliances shall be inspected, before delivery at the site to see whether
they bear, where appropriate, the certification mark of the Indian Stan-
dards Institution or the mark of the testing station of the Authority. All
pipes and fittings shall be inspected and tested by the manufacturers at
their factory and shall comply with the requirements of this Code. They
shall be tested hydraulically under a pressure equal to twice the maximum
permissible working pressure or under such ,greater pressure as may be
specified. The pipes and fittings shall be inspected on site before laying
and shall be sounded to disclose cracks. Any defective item shall be
clearly marked as rejected and forthwith removed from the site.
14.2 Testing of Mains After Laying -- After laying and jointing, the
main shall be slowly and carefully charged with water, so that all air is
expelled from the main by providing a 25-mm inlet with a stopcock
allowed to stand full of water for a few days if time permits, and then tested
under- pressure. The test pressure shall be O-5 N/mm* or the maximum
working pressure plus 50 percent, whichever is the greater. The pressure
shall be applied by means of a manually operated test pump, or in the
case of long mains or mains of large diameter, by a power-driven test
pump, provided that ,the pump is not left unattended. In either case due
precaution shall be taken to ensure that the required test pressure is not
exceeded. Pressure gauges shall be accurate and shall preferably have
been recalibrated before the test. The test pump having been stopped,
the test pressure shall maintain itself without measureable loss for at least
half an hour. The mains, shall be tested in sections as the work of laying
proceeds; it is an advantage to have the joints exposed for inspection
during the testing. The open end of the main may be temporarily closed
for testing under moderate pressure by fitting a watertight expanding plug
of which several types are available. The end of the main and the plug
shall be secured by struts or otherwise, to resist the end thrust of the water
pressure in the mains.
14.2.1 If the section of the main tested terminates with a sluice valve,
the wedge of the valve shall not be used to retain the water. Instead the
valve shall be temporarily fitted with a blank flange, or iq the case of. a
socketed valve, with a plug, and the wedge placed in the open position
while testing. End support shall be given as m 14.2.
14.3 T&ting of Service Pipes a&l Fitting - When the service line is
complete, it shall be slowly and carefully cha 4, cd with water, allowing all
32IS t 2965 - 19113
air to escape and avoiding all shock or water hammer. The service shah
then be inspected under working conditions of pressure and flow. When
all draw-off taps are closed, the service pipe shall be absolutely watertight.
All piping, fittings and appliances shall be checked over for satisfactory
support, and protection from damage, corrosion and frost. Because of
the possibility of damage in transit, cisterns shall be re-tested for water
tightness on arrival on the site, before fixing.
15. MAINTENANCE
15.1 Storage tanks shall be regularly inspected and shall be cleaned out if
necessary. Tanks showing signs of corrosion shall be emptied, thoroughly
wire-brushed to remove loose material ( but not scrapped ), cleaned-and
coated with anti-corrosive paint of inert composition not liable to impart
taste or odour or otherwise contaminate the water. Before cleaning the
cistern, the outlet shah be plugged to prevent debris entering the pipe.
The tank shall be examined for corrosion and water tightness after
cleaning.
15.2 Record drawings showing pipe layout and valve positions shall be kept
up to date and inspection undertaken to ensure that any maintenance
work has not introduced cross-connections or any other undesirable
feature.
15.3 Any temporary attachment fixed to a tap or outlet shall never be left
in such a position that back-siphonage of polluted water into the’ supply
system may occur.
15.4 All valves shall be periodically operated to maintain free movement
of the working parts.
15.5 All taps and ball valves shall be inspected for water tightness; glands
shall be made PO&~: washers shall be reolaced and machanism of spring
operated taps &d iall valves shall be reiaired where required.
15.6 All overflow pipes shall be examined and kept free from obstructions.

Indian Standard
SPECIFICATION FOR STEEL WINDOWS
FOR INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS
( First Revision )
0. F O R E W O R D
0.1This Indian Standard (First Revision) was adopted by the Indian
Standards Institution on 20 February 1978, after the draft finalized by
the Doors, Windows and Shutters Sectional Committee had been
approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council.
0.2Indian Standards Institution has already issued IS:1038-1975*
which covers steel doors, windows and ventilators for use in domestic
buildings, such as residences, offices and schools. The range of sizes
included in IS:1038-1975*, however, does not meet all the needs of
industrial buildings, like factories and warehouses, where larger
single units are generally required to be used. Although, it is possible
to couple two or more units in the domestic range to form larger units,
yet the increased weight and cost and the resulting type of openings
make it necessary to evolve a separate range to cover specifically the
requirements of windows for industrial buildings. This standard has
been prepared with this object in view and, as in the case of
IS:1038-1975*, the sizes of units have been derived on the basis of a
10-cm module and tolerances have been specified in accordance with
IS:1233-1969†.
0.3This standard was first published in 1959. In this revision
reference to rolled steel sections used for fabrication of doors, windows
and ventilators has been omitted and separately included in
IS:7452-1974‡. With regard to the clearance on all the four sides for
the purpose of fitting the doors windows or ventilators into modular
openings, in view of the difficulties experienced with the adoption of
specified clearance the provisions have been modified to 10mm
alround. Accordingly, the manufacturing sizes of these components
have been suitably modified. Consequential changes have also been
incorporated in the sizes of glass panes.
*Specification for steel doors, windows and ventilators (second revision).
†Recommendations for modular co-ordination of dimensions in the building industry
(first revision).
‡Specification for hot rolled steel sections for doors, windows and ventilators.
3IS:1361 - 1978
0.3.1Another important modification incorporated in this revision
relates to the process of welding permitted for corner joints. In this
context, provisions have been made to permit any method of welding
provided the joints conform to certain requirements as given in this
standard.
0.4In the formulation of this standard due weightage has been given
to international coordination among the standards and practices
prevailing in different countries in addition to relating it to the
practices in the field in this country.
0.5This edition 2.2 incorporates Amendment No. 1 (July 1983) and
Amendment No. 2 (March1986). Side bar indicates modification of the
text as the result of incorporation of the amendments.
0.6For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of
this standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated
expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in
accordance with IS:2-1960*. The number of significant places
retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the
specified value in this standard.
1. SCOPE
1.1This standard deals with steel windows suitable for use in
industrial buildings and designed to suit openings based on a module
of 10cm.
2. TERMINOLOGY
2.0For the purpose of this standard, the following definitions shall
apply.
2.1Sash — A complete industrial window unit, whether of the fixed or
opening type.
2.2Composite Window — A window comprising of two or more
sashes joined together with one or more coupling members.
2.3Ventilator — The opening part of a sash. It consists of an inner
frame and an outer frame.
2.4Centre-Hung Ventilator — A ventilator horizontally pivoted at
the centre of each side, with the top half opening inwards and the
bottom half opening outwards.
2.5Bottom-Hung Ventilator — A ventilator hinged at the bottom,
and opening inwards.
2.6Top-Hung Ventilator — A ventilator hinged at the top, and
opening outwards.
*Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised).
4IS:1361 - 1978
3. HANDING
3.1Handing and direction of closing of sashes shall be designated in
accordance with IS:4043-1969*.
4. DESIGNATION
4.1In designating the different sizes and types of industrial windows,
the following notation shall be adopted:
IN× Width of window × Type of × Height of window
expressed in window expressed in number
number of modules of modules
The letters IN indicate an industrial window; and the type of window
is indicated by the following letter symbols:
F = Fixed sash,
C = Centre-hung sash,
B = Bottom-hung sash, and
T = Top-hung sash,
Examples:
1)IN 10 C 15 indicates ‘Industrial window for opening 10 module
wide (100cm) by 15 module high (150cm)’ with centre-hung
ventilator.
2)IN 16 F 10 indicates ‘Industrial window for opening 16 module
wide (160cm) by 10 module high (100cm)’ with fixed glass panes.
4.2Composite Windows — For composite windows, the notations
illustrated below shall be adopted:
a)IN 10 C 10/IN 10 C 10/IN 10 C 10: This indicates three industrial
windows of type IN 10 C 10, placed next to one another and
coupled.
IN 10 C 10/IN 10 C 10
b) --------------------------------------------------------------- : This indicates the combination of four
IN 10 C 15/IN 10 C 15
windows, two of the type IN 10 C 10 on top and two of the type
IN10 C 15 at the bottom, all the four of them coupled both
horizontally and vertically.
5. STANDARD SIZES AND TOLERANCES

7.1 Sashes shall be square and flat.
7.2 Sashes shall be constructed of sections which have been cut to the
required length and mitred. The corners of fixed and opening frames
shall be welded to form a solid fused welded joint conforming to the
requirements given in 7.2.1. All frames shall be square and flat. The
process of welding adopted may be flash butt welding or any other
suitable method which gives the desired requirement.
7.2.1 Requirements of Welded Joints
7.2.1.1Visual inspection test — When two opposite corners of the
frame are cut, paint removed and inspected, the joint shall conform to
the following:
a)Welds should have been made all along the place of meeting the
members;
b)Welds should have been properly ground; and
c)Complete cross section of the corner shall be checked up to see

7.2.1.2Micro and macro examinations — From the two opposite
corners obtained for visual test as in 7.2.1.1, the flanges of the sections
shall be cut with the help of a saw. The cut surfaces of the remaining
portions shall be polished, etched and examined.
The polished and etched faces of the weld and the base metal shall be
free from cracks and reasonably free from under cutting, overlaps,
gross porosity and entrapped slag.
7.2.1.3Fillet weld test — The fillet weld in the remaining portion of the
joint obtained in 7.2.1.2, shall be fractured by hammering. The
fractured surfaces shall be free from slag inclusions, porosity, crack,
penetration defects and fusion defects.
7.3Tee sections for glazing shall be tenoned and riveted into the

FOREWORD
This Indian Standard ( Third Revision ) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the
draft finalized by the Clay Pcoducts for Buildings Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil
Engineering Division Council.
Different practices for the manufacture of hand-made common bricks are adopted in different regions of
the country. It will be advantageous to give the existing knowledge and experience so far gained in the
form of guide in order to specify the minimum requirements for various manufacturing operations.
In brick industry all operations, such as preparation of clay, moulding, drying and firing are carried out in
the open. The kiln most commonly used is the bull’s trench. The design and construction of such a kiln of
optimum capacity has been covered in IS 4805 : 1978. This standard has been prepared to furnish general
guidance in the selection of raw materials and the processes of manufacture of hand-moulded bricks ( from

Bricks may be made from a mixture of plastic clays and fly ash from thermal power stations. However,
as the composition of these material varies over a wide range it is necessary to determine a suitable batch
composition after laboratory tests. Two materials may be mixed wet either manually or in a machine. The
processes of moulding, drying and firing are similar to those described in this standard.
This standard was first published in 1963 and revised in 1967 and 1975. This revision has been prepared
to include such of’ the data which have been established since it was last revised, like manufacturing bricks
with various additives like fly ash, sandy loam, rice husk ash, basalt stone dust and details of firing process

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide
federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work
of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for
which a technical committee has been established has the right to be
represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental
and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO
collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission
(lEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are
circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least 75 ‘Yoof the member bodies casting
a vote.
International Standard ISO 10011-3 was prepared by Technical Committee
lSO/TC 176, Qua/ity management and qua/ity assurance.
ISO 10011 consists of the following parts, under the general title Guide-
lines for auditing qualitys ystems:
— Part 1: Auditing

SPECIFICATION FOR
APPARATUS FOR USE IN MEASUREMENT OF
LENGTH CHANGE OF HARDENED CEMENT
PASTE, MORTAR AN-D CONCRETE
0. FOREWORU
0.1 This Indian Standard was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution
on 8 February 1980, after the draft finalized by the Cement and Concrete
Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division
Council.
0.2 The Indian Standards Institution has already published a series of
standards on methods of testing cement and concrete. It has been
recognized that reproducible and repeatable test results can be obtained
only with standard testing equipment capable of giving the desired ievel
of accuracy. The Sectional Committee has, therefore, decided to bring
out a series of specifications covering the requirements of equipments used
for testing cement and concrete, to encourage their development and
manufacture in the country.
0.3 Accordingly, this standard has been prepared to cover requirements
of the apparatus for use in measurement of length change of hardened
cement paste, mortar and concrete. This apparatus may be used for
determining the initial drying shrinkage, drying shrinkage and moisture
movement of concrete ( ste IS : 119%1959* ), alkali reactivity of aggregate
[ see IS : 2386 ( Part VII )-1963t ] and drying shrinkage of Portland
pozzolana cement ( see IS : 4031-1968: ).
0.4 In the formulation of this standard, due weightage has been given to
international co-ordination among the standards and practices prevailing
in different countries in addition to relating it to the practices in the field
in this country.
*Methods of sampling and analysis of concrete.

3”IS t 9459 - 1980
0.5 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this
standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated,
expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in
accordance with IS : 2-1960*. The number of significant places retained
in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value
in this standard.
1. SCOPE
1.1 This standard lays down the requirements of apparatus ( known as
length comparator ) to measure length change in hardened cement paste,
mortar and concrete, using a suitable micrometer.
2. APPARATUS
2.1 The apparatus shall consist of an adjustable length comparator using
a screw or dial micrometer, together with a suitable reference bar.
3. CONSTRUCTION AND DIMENSIONS
3.1 The construction of the length comparator shall be as given in Fig. 1
or Fig. 2. The type of apparatus shown in Fig. 2 is recommended for
testing heavy specimens, since the pressure caused by the weight of the
specimen, which would otherwise fall on the lower reference ball, iscarried
by the slotted shelf. The apparatus shall preferably be adjustable for
specimens of different lengths. Nominal dimensions of the apparatus of
the type shown in Fig. 1 are indicated in the figure. The end of the
frame to seat the lower end of the reference bar shall be provided with a
cylindrical or conical recess. The surfaces in contact with the specimen
reference points shall be heat-treated, hardened and polished.
3.1.1 The measuring instrument in the length comparator shall be a
high grade micrometer having a range of at least 10 mm and graduated
to read in O-002 mm units, accurate within 0’002 mm in any 0.020 mm
range or a suitable dial gauge. This gauge shall be rigidly mounted in a
measuring frame and shall have a conical spindle which can be located
upon a 6 mm diameter ball or other reference point cemented in the
specimen.
3.2 The reference bar against which the readings of the gauge are tested,
shall be of sta-inless steel having a co-efficient of thermal expansion not
greater than 2 millionth per deg C. The reference bar may have an
overall diameter of 20 mm and of 300 2 is mm or 150 t Ls mm length which
*Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised ).IS : 9459 * 1980
ever is appropriate. The length of the reference bar shall be standard-
ized ai a particular temperature and provided with calibration charts
for reading length at different temperatures. Each end of the bar shall
be machined to 6 mm diameter spherical ends or 6 mm dia balls may be
swaged or otherwise fixed to the end. The ends shall be heat-treated,
hardened and then polished. The central IOO~mm of the length of the
bar shall be covered by insulating material, such-as 6 mm thick rubber
tube, to facilitate handling and to minimize the effect of temperature
during handling. The bar shall be provided with a positioning mark near
one end.

Indian Standard
SPECIFICATION FOR
STEEL DOORS, WINDOWS AND VENTILATORS
( Third Revision )
0. FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard ( Third R evision ) was adopted by the Indian
Standards Institution on 28 February 1983, after the draft finalized by the
Doors, Windows and Shutters Sectional Committee had been approved by
the Civil Engineering Division Council.
0.2 This standard was first pubIished in 1957 and was revised in 1968. In
the first revision the sizes of steel doors, windows and ventilators were
reviewed to bring them in line with the preferred modular sizes of openings
based on 10 cm module whi%:h is applicable for all types of doors and
windows whether of timber or metal. Such variety reduction through
:.doption of these preferred modular sizes had become particularly sigmfi-
cant in view of the development of prefabricated construction and factory
production of doors and windows and also for achieving substantial
economics in the construction of building.
0.3 In the second revision, reference to rolled steel sections used for
fabrication of doors, windows and ventilators had been omitted and
included separately ( see IS : 7452-1982* ). With regard to the clearance on
all the four sides for the purpose of fitting the doors, windows or ventila-
tors into modular openings and in view of the difficulties experienced with
the adoption of 3 mm clearance specified in 1968 version, the provisions
had been modified to 10 mm alround. Another important modification in-
corporated was relating to the process of welding permitted for corner
joints. Earlier, only flash butt welding was permitted for jointing
of corners of frames. In the second revision, provision had been -made to
permit any other method of welding provided the joint conforms to the re-
quirements as given in the standard.
0.4 In third revision the doors, windows and ventilators having no
openable shutters have been included under the term side-light, fixed-light

or sub-light_ Modifications have also been made in regard to sizes of
glass panes and the number of glazing clips based on the assumptions
that : _
a) Height of all 12 and I5 modular shutters shah be identical,
b) Width of all 10 and 15 modular shutters shall be identical,
C) Width of all 12 and 18 modular shutters shall be identical,
4 Horizontal glazing bars in 12 and 15 modular constr,Lon
windows and fixed lights shall line up with each other,
e) In 15 module high windows, the vertical sub-dividing bars ( F4B )
shall be continuous through the sub-light portion,
f-1 Sub-dividing bar of ventilators and fixed-lights shall line up with
the corresponding sub-dividing bar of respective modular windows
and fixed-light,
9) Glass sizes shall be identical in 20 and 21 modular construction
and the variation in height shall be adjusted in the kicking panel,
h) Outer frame of side-light for the doors shall be manufactured
from F7D profiles, and
j) Sub-dividing bar shall be T2 in 15 module height.
0.5 Fixing and glazing of steel doors, windows and ventilators have been
covered separately in IS : 1081-1960* and reference should be made to this
standard while fixing the components.
0.6 This standard contains clauses 5.2.2 and 8.1 which call for the agree-
ment between the purchaser and the manufacturer, and clause 4.4 and
Appendix A which require the purchaser to supply certain information
while placing order.
8.7 In the formulation of this standard, due weightage has been given to
international co-ordination among the standards and practices prevailing
in different countries in addition to relating it to the practices in the field
in this country.
8.8 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this
standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, express-
ing the reult of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with
IS : 2-1960t. The number of significant places retained in the rounded
off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this
standard.

tion and finish of steel doors, windows, ventilators and fixed-lights
manufactured from rolled steel sections to specified sizes and designs.
1.2 This standard does not cover steel doors, windows, ventilators and
fixed-lights for use in industrial buildings.
2. TERMINOLOGY
2.1 For the purpose of this standard, the components of doors, windows,
ventilators and fixed-lights shall be as defined in 2.1.1 to 2.1.2.2 and as
illustrated in Fig. 1.
2.1.1 Sub-Dividing Bars - These are vertical bars in a fixed-light
or window or ventilator.
2.1.2 Fixed-Light - Doors, windows and ventilators where there is no
openable shutter.
2.1.2.1 Sub-Light - A fixed-light above openable door or window.
2.1.2.2 Side-Light - A fixed-light of door height to couple with
door.
3. SYMBOLIC DESIGNATION
3.1 The direction of closing and faces of doors, windows and shutters shall
be designated in accordance with IS : 4043-1969*.
4. STANDARD SIZES, TOLERANCES AND DESIGNATIONS
4.1 Sizes - Types and overall sizes of steel doors, windows, ventilators
and fixed lights shall be as given in Fig. 2.
4.1.1 The dimensions shown in Fig. 2 are overall heights and widths to
the outside of frames of steel doors, windows, ventilators and fixed-lights.
These sizes are derived after allowing 10 mm clearance on all the four
sides for the purpose of fitting doors, windows, ventilators or fixed-lights
into modular openings (see Fig. 3 ).

FOREWORD
This Indian Standard ( Second Revision ) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards after the draft
finalized by the Farm Implements and Machinery Sectional Committee had been approved by the Food and
Agriculture Division Council.
Mouldboard plough is a primary tillage implement used for mechanical manipulation of soil. The mouldboard
ploughs drawn by animals are being manufactured and used in large numbers in the country. Earlier this
standard was published in two parts; Part 1 covering the requirements of turnwrest type and Part 2 fixed
type mouldboard plough. As presently turnwrest type mouldboard plough are not being manufactured and
used within the country, it was decided to withdraw the provision relating to this type of plough and publish
the standard covering the requirements of fixed type only. In this revision the requirement of shares has
been included which was earlier covered in separate standard IS 6327 : 1971 ‘Animal drawn mouldboard
plough shares’.
The figures given in the standard are meant to serve only as illustrations and should not be considered as
suggestive of any standard design.
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with the final value,
observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with
IS 2 : 1960 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised )‘. The number of significant places retained
in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.IS 2192 : 1998

CODE OF PRACTICE FOR
LIGHTING OF PUBLIC THOROUGHFARES
PART VII LIGHTING FOR ROADS WITH
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
(GROUP F)
0. FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard (Part VII ) was adopted by the Indian Standards
Institution on 23 February 1981, after the draft finalized by the Illuminating
Engineering Sectional Committee had been approved by the Electrotechnical
Division Council.
0.2 This part ( Part VII ) of the code is brought out so as to provide guide
lines to the public lighting authorities for preparations of lighting installa-
tion scheme for Group ‘F’ roads.
0.3 This standard (Part VII ) has been prepared in pursuance of 0.4 of
IS:1944 (Parts I and II)-1970*. Revision of IS: 1944 (Parts I and II)-1970*
is also under the consideration of the Committee and it is intended that
Part I of the revised IS : 1944 should cover general principles and subsequent
parts should deal with the requirements for various groups of roads as per
the standard classification. This standard will, therefore, after the revision
of IS : 1944 ( Parts I and II )-1970* is completed, have the following parts:
Part I General plinciples
Part II Lighting for main roads ( Group A )
Part III Lighting for secondary roads which do not require lighting
up to Group A standard ( Group B )
Part IV Lighting for residential and qclassified roads ( Group C )
Part V Lighting for grade separated junctions, bridges and elevated
roads ( Group D 1
Part VI Lighting for town and city centres and areas of civic
importance ( Group E )
*Code of practice for lighting of public tho&ghfares ( first revision ).
3IS : 1944 ( Part VII ) - 1981
Part VII Lighting for roads with special requirements ( Group F )
Part VIII Lighting in tunnels ( Group G )
0.4 In the preparation of this standard, assistance has been derived from
the following documents:
a) CIE 32 ( TC 4+6)-1976 Lighting in situations requiring special
treatment. International Commission on Illumination.
b) BS:CP-1004-Part 8-1967 Lighting for roads with special
requirements. British Standards Institution.
1. SCOPE
1.1 This part of the code deals with functions, appearance and design
requirements of Group F road lighting.
1.2 It includes special requirements for road lighting for roads in vicinity
of aerodromes, railways, docks and navigable waterways, additional to the
general requirements of other parts of the code.
2. TERMINOLOGY
2.1 For the purpose of this code, terms provided in IS: 1944 (Parts I and
II)-1970* and those provided in 1s: lS85 (Part XVI/Set 2)-19687 shall
<PPlY.
3. ROAD LIGHTING IN THE VICINITY OF AERODROME
3.1 General Requirements
3.1.1 Where a proposed road lighting scheme is within 5 km of the
boundary of an aerodrome it is essential that appropriate aviation authority
is consulted regarding any restrictions and precautions to be observed that
may be necessary.
3.1.2 The aviation authority may have a specific interest in the pattern
of the layout, the mounting height, the colour and intensity, distribution of
light emitted above the horizontal so that lighting installation does not
present the danger to the air navigation. The following points should,
therefore, be kept in view while designing lighting scheme in the vicinity of
the aerodromes:
a) The light provided in the vicinity of an aerodrome shall be properly
screened so as to avoid any glare which may otherwise endanger
safety of an aircraft arriving and departing from an aerodrome.
-
*Code of practice for lighting of public thoroughfares ( first revision ).
tElectrotechnical vocabulary: Part XVI Lighting, Section 2 General illumination
Iighting’fittings and lighting for traffic and signalling.
4IS : 1944 ( Part VII ) - 1981
b) Lights mounted on the electric poles/pylones shall not cause all
obstruction to the arriving and departing aircraft from an
aerodrome in terms of obstacle limitation specified by the airport
authorities.
c) It is particularly important to ensure that ii’ghting of road cannot
ever be confused with the ground lighting-of the flight paths by the
pilots.
4. ROAD LIGHTING IN VICINITY OF RAILWAYS, DOCKS AND
NAVIGABLE WATERWAYS
4.1 Itroduction - The lighting for roads in the vicinity of railways, docks
and navigable waterways because of the coiour of the light source may
interfere with the proper recognition of signal system. It is essential that
this is avoided, but local conditions vary so widely that it is not possible
to lay down any rigid code applicable to ail circumstances.
The .foiiowing requirements are likely to apply in all places where
roads are so located that their lighting installation may affect the operation
of railways, docks and navigable waterways.
4.2 Requirements
4.2.1 Consultations - It is essential that prior consuitatiofi is made with
the appropriate authorities regarding any special provision that may be
necessary. These provisions should be met in a way that is mutually
acceptable so that they may be incorporated at the design stage.
4.2.2 Colour - Where any form of Iroad lighting is employed there is a
risk of confusio? with signal light. This may necessiate careful selection of
light source, siting of iuminaires or the use of appropriate screened
luminaire at certain points and heights.
4.2.3 G/are and Masking - The position of individual light source on
the road may fail in line with signal lights and even when fairly remote
may mask them or make them difficult to recognize or hamper the vision
because of glare. If these cannot be avoided by re-siting, it may be
necessary to employ screening to obviate the interference even though the
coiour of the light source is not objectionable.
4.2.4 Screening - In ail cases. where screening of a light source i.z
required this should preferably be achieved by means of properly designed
iuminaires and not by addition of unsightly screens to normal iuminaire.
4.2.5 Siting - If the road is bordered by water (lake river 0; canal) and
if the lighting is single sided, it is recommended that the columns be sited if
possible, on the waterside.INDIAN STANDARDS

GUIDE FOR CONSTRUCTION
AND USE OF ROOMS OR BUILDINGS
PROTECTED BY PRESSURIZATION, FOR
INSTALLATION OF ELECTRICAL APPARATUS
FOR EXPLOSIVE GAS ATMOSPHERES
0. FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard was adopted by the Indian Standaras
Institution on 23 August 1984, after the draft finalized by the ,Electrical
Apparatus for Explosive Atmospheres Sectional Committee had been
approved by the Electrotechnical Division Council.
0.2 This standard is one of a series of standards on pressurized enclosures.
The requirements of pressurized enclosures with no internal source of
flammable gas or vapour are covered in IS : 7389 ( Part 1 )-1976*.
0.3 The object of this guide is to lay down the principles of protection of
electrical apparatus by pressurization, adapting them to suit in the case of
rooms or buildings containing electrical apparatus and protecteJ by internal
over-pressure against the iugress of the potcntia!ly explosive external
atmosphere.
0.4 In the preparation of this guide, assistance has been derived from IEC
Publication 79-13 ( 1982 ) Electrical apparatus for explosive gas atmos-
pheres: Part 13 Construction and use of rooms or buildings protected by
pressurization, issued by International Electrotechnical Commission.
1. SCOPE
1.1 This guide defines the conditions in which an electrical apparatus liable
to cause an ignition may be used in a room or building situated where
flammable gases or vapours may bc present, the ingress of these gases or
vapours into the room being prevented by maint*ililing inside it a protec-
tive gas at a higher pressure than that of the outside atmosphere.
*Specification for pressurized enclosures of electrical equipment for use in hazardous
areas : Part I Pressurized enclosures with no internal source of 11ammabk gas or
vapour (first revision ).IS : 11064- 1984
1.2 This guide includes recommendations for the construction, equipping
and operation of rooms or buildings and their aksociated parts. such as
inlet and exhaust ducts for the protective gas, alld auxiliary control devices
necessary for the satisfa,:tory pr,)duction and maintenance of the
overpressure.
1.3 This guide also recommends the tests necessary to show that the
installation conforms to these recommendations and the marking to be
placed on the rooms or bti;ldings.
1.4 This guide concerns only rooms and buildings in the interior of which
there is no internal release ( actual or potential ) of flammable gases and
vapours.
2. TERMINOLOGY
2.0 For the purpose of this guide, the following definitions shall apply.
2.1 Room or Building - An enclosure ( or enclosures ) provided with
doors, cable ducts. conduits, etc, containing electrical apparatus and of
sufficient size to permit the entry of a person who may be expected to
work or remain inside the enclosure for a prol(,nged period.
NOTE -Throughout the rest of this guide, the term ‘room’ is employed
without distinction to designate rooms or buildings.
2.2 Opening - Any aperture, door, window or non-airtight fixed panel.
2.3 Protective Gas - The gas used to maintain an overpressure within the
room, or to purge air in these circumstances.
2.4 Pressurization - A type of protection by which the jhgress of an
explosive atmosphere into a room is prevented by maintaining therein a
protective gas at a pressure greater than that of the surrounding atmosphere.
2.5 Pressurized Room - A room in which the protective gas is maintained
at a pressure greater than that of the surrounding atmosphere.
2.6 Pressurization with Leakage Compensation - A method in which the
supply of protective gas is suficient to maintain the overpressure in the
room, with a flow corresponding to the inevitable leakages from the room
and its associated ducts, all the exit openings being closed.
2.7 Pressurization with Circulaticrn of Protective Gaq - A method in which
the internal overpressure is maintained within the room and its associated
ducts, a continuous and intentional flow of protective gas passing through
these, through apertures of controlled section.
4IS:llC64 - 1984
2.8 Purging - The operation of passing a quantity of protective gas
through a room and its associated ducts in order to reduce any
concentration of flammable gas or vapour within to a safe level.
3. CLASSIFICATION OF THE INTERIOR OF THE ROOM
3.1 The different hazardous zones given in IS : 5572 ( Part 1 )-1978* enables
to drive, the classification of the zone, whele the room is situated.
3.2 It is considered that the interior of a room should receive, in the
absence of pressurization, a classilication based on the most hazardous area
into which the room has at least one direct opening.
3.3 Pressurization of the room after purging, permits the use of electrical
equipment, which is not otherwise suitably protected for the area
classification.
NOTE - The atmospheres inside a rcom which is partially situated in a
hazardous zone, but all of whose openings lead into non-hazardous zones, is
considered as non-hazardous.
4. PRINCIPLES OF CONSTRUCTION OF ROOMS
4.1 Protective Gas Ducts and Their Connections
4.1.1 The materials used for protective gas ducts and their connections
should have chemical and physical resibtar:ce suitable for their intended
use.
4.1.2 The ducts and connections shall be capable of withstanding
1.5 times, the maximum overpressure specified for normal service, with a
minimum of 200 Pa. Appropriate safety devices shall be installed if
there is a possibility of overpressures occurring during service capable of
causing dangerous deformation of ducts or connections.
4.1.3 The ‘position, dimensions and number of supply ducts shall be
sufficient to ensure effective purging. The number of ducts shall be
chosen in relation to the design and arrangement of the apparatus to be
protected.
4.1.4 The supply ducts should be considered as forming part of the
room. In particular, where they pass through a hazadous area, it is
desirable that they be pressurized with respect to the surrounding
atmosphere. However, if the mechanical integrity and sealing of the
ducts can be guaranteed, then it is permissible for the pressure within the
ducts to be lower than that of the surrounding atmosphere.
*Classification of hazardous areas ( other than mines ) for electrical installaions:
Part 1 Areas having flammable gases and vapours (first revision ).
5IS:11064 -1984
4.2 Entry of Ducts for Electrical and Gas Service
4.2.1 The entry of cables or electrical conduits and other serviced
( protective gas, water, etc ) directly into the room should be so effected
that the necessary overpressure can be maintained and entry of flammable
substances precluded.
4.2.2 Where exhaust apertures open into a hazardous zone. it is
recommended to provide them with automatic closing valves or flaps to
prevent, as far as practicable, the ingress of the external explosive
atmosphere in case of failure of pressurization.
5. PROTECTIVE MEASURES
5.0 Protective measures shall be adopted to prevent the electrical apparatus
installed in a pressurized room from giving rise to an explosion at the
moment of switching on, or in the case of failure of pressurization. These
measures should be determined by the characteristics of the electrical
apparatus, by the environmental conditions, and by the use of safety
devices to monitor the inside atmosphere, or to actuate an alarm or
possibly switch the power supplies off automatically. Such measures arc
given in 5.1 to 5.3 and also summarized in Table 1.
5.1 Energizing - During initial start-up, or after shutdown and whatever
the classification of the hazardous area, it is necessary, before energizing
any electrical apparatus in the room which is not suitably protecfcd for the
classification of the area:
a) Either to ensure that internal atmosphere is not hazardous
( see Note 1 ) or to proceed with prior purging of sufficient
duration that the internal atmosphere may be considered non-
hazardous ( see Note 2 ), and
b) To pressurize the room.
NOTE 1 - An atmosphere is considered non-hazardous when, at all points in
the room. the enclosures and associated ducts. the concentration of flammble eases
or vapours is below 25 percent of the lower explosive limit. The placr of
measurement shall be judiciously chosen to determine the highest concentration of’
gas.
NOTE2 - Generally, the volume of protective gas required for purging is
estimated as at least five times the internal volume of the room and its associated
ducts.
5.2 Failure of Pressurization
52.1 First Case h The atmosphere in the room, considered as non-
hazardous when pressurized, is classified Zone 1 in the abseuce of
pressurization, according to 3 ( exceptional case )‘.

5.2.1.1 If any electrical apparatus installed in the room is not suitable
for a hazardous area, the following provisions should be made:
a) Suitable alarm ( visible or audible or both ) indicating absence
of pressurization,
b) Immediate action to restore pressurization, and
c) Automatic interruption of the power supplies as rapidly as
practicable within a prescribed delay time having regard to the needs of a
programmed shutdown.
In determining the delay time, account shall be taken of the
precautions adopted to prevent the ingress of dangerous gas mixtures, and
the probable effects of gas diffusion, convection and breathing of the room.
This delay may also be prolonged to facilitate a programmed shutdown of
the apparatus in the interest of safety provided that it is verified that the
atmosphere immediately outside the room is not dangerous.
5.2.1.2 If any electrical apparatus installed in the room is appropriate
for Zone 2, the following provisions shall be made:
a) Suitable alarm ( visible or audible or both ) indicating absence of
pressurization,
b) Immediate action to restore pressurization, and
c) Programmed disconnection of power supplies if pressurization
cannot be restored for an extended period or if the concentration
of flammable gas is rising to a dangerous level.
52.2 Second Case -- The atmosphere in the room, considered as non-
hazardous when pressurized, is classified Zone 2 in the absence of pressuri-
zation according to 3 ( most frequent case ).
5.2.2.1 If any electrical apparatus installed in the room is not suitable
for a hazardous area, the following provisions should be made:
a) Suitable alarm ( visible or audible or both > indicating absence of
pressurization,
b) Immediate action to restore pressurization, and
c) Programmed disconnection of power supplies if pressurization can-
not be restored for an extended period or if the concentration of
flammable gas is rising to a dangerous level.
5.3 Other Protective Measure
5.3.1 Whatever protective measure are adopted, the complementary
provisions given in 5.3.1.1 to 5.3.1.4 should be made.
8IS : 11064 - 1984
5.3.1.1 All electrical apparatus uhich is to bc energized in the absence of
pressurization, particu!arly that v\ hich assures p~~siurization, lighting and
essential telecommunication should he suirabic for use in the zone corres-
ponding to its position; in the case 1~h c-l-c thij apparatus is inside the room,
it is necessary to take into account the zoue corresponding to the classifica-
tion of the inside of the room ( see 3 ).
NOTE - These provisions permit lighting and essential telecommunication
installations to remain in service, even in lhe event ot danger.
5.3.1.2 The visible or audible alarm shall be so located as to be imme-
diately percieved by the responsible personnel who shall take the necessary
action.
5.3.1.3 For monitoring the satisfactory functioning of the pressurization,
either a pressure monitoring device or a flow monitoring device or both
should be used.
NOTE - Electrical interlock on the fan motors is not suitable to indicate failure
of pressurization. They do not give an indication in the event of, for example, rhe
fan belt slipping, the fan becoming loose on the shaft or reverse rotation of fan.
5.3.1.4 In certain circumstances. such as the necessity of keeping electri-
cal apparatus in operation, it may be advisabic to provide two sources of
protective gas so that each on: can take over from the other in case of a
breakdown of one source. Each source should be independently capable
of maintaining the necessary overprcssure.
6. VALUES OF OVERPRESSURE AND OF PROTECTIVE GAS FLOW
6.1 The pressurization system shall be capable of ensuring a sufficient out-
ward protective gas speed through the openings of the room when all
these openings are open at the same lime. The velocity should be greater
than that of external air currents but should not lead to so great a pressure
in the room as to make it difficult to open and close the doors.
NOTE - Where doors, windows and openings are provided with interlocks,
these are to be closed when checking this requirement.
6.2 A minimum overpressure of 25 Pa ( 0’25 m bar ) with respect to the
outer atmosphere should be maintaiued at all points inside the room and
its associated ducts at which leaks are liable to occur, all doors and
windows being closed.
6.3 If there is any air-consuming equipment inside the pressurized room,
the flow through the pressurization system should be capable of covering
all needs; if not, the extra air required should be supplied by a separate
system.
NOTE 1 - The pressurization system may a!so include heating, ventilating and
air-conditioning devices over and above the equipments necessary to fu@l the
requirements of 6.1 to 6.3.
9IS : 11054- 1984
NOTE 2 - The design of a pressuriz:d room will also need to consider :
ai the number of persons expected to stay in the room in order to ensure
the necessary renewai of the air; and
b) the type of amaratm to b: installed in the room and their need for
coohng air, if any.
7. PROTECHVE GAS SUPPLY
7.1 The protective gas should not, by virtue of any chemical products or
impurities which it may contain, produce deleterious effects or introduce a
risk of reduced safety.
NOTE - The protective gas may also be u;ed for other purposes, such as for
cooling the appsratus.
8. VERIFICAI‘ION A ND TESTS
8.1 Before putting a pressurized room into service, the technical documen-
tation should be examixd and ii‘ necessary, a test shall be carried out.
8.2 In particular, it should be assured that:
a) the construction of the installation and the protective measures
are such that purging can be eRected, and
b) the minimum over pressure ( see 6.2 ) can be maintained at the
minimum flow rate of the pressurization system with all the
openings closed, in normal working conditions.
9. MARKING
9.1 All doors I^rom the pressurized room should be clearly marked on the
outside, by the following notice or an equivalent:
‘WARNING - PRESSURIZED ROOM - CLOSE THIS DOOR’.
9.2 Inside thz room, the following inFormation should be displayed:
Minimum required overprrssurs, or corresponding rate of flow of
protective gas.
9.3 Rules to be observed for the installation in question:
a) When switching on:
In accordance with 5.1, a notice should be displayed close to the
switch of the pressurization fan and to the general circuit-breaker
for the room, with the following or equivalent wording:
‘WARNING - The pressurization fan should be allowed to run
for t minutes before switchiug on the installation, unless it has been
checked that the atmosphere in ths room is not hazardous.’
NOTE- t is the time required for purging at minimum flow rate.
b) In case of pressurization failure:
Jn accordance with 5.2, a detailed list should be given indicating
the apparatus to be switched off, the delays, if any, allowed for
each operation, and any other measures to be taken particularly
in the event of pressurization failure.

CODE OF PRACTICE FOR THE
CONSTRUCTION OF REFUSE CHUTES
IN MULTISTOREYED BUILDINGS
0. FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution
on 22 March 1973, after the draft finalized by the Water Supply and
Sanitation Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineer-
ing Division Council.
6.2 With the increasing number of multistoreyed buildings in major
cities in the country, need for developing suitable methods for collection
and removal of refuse and garbage from buildings is receiving urgent
consideration of the Civic and Public Health Authorities to avoid
insanitary conditions in buildings and public places. This code of
practice has been prepared to give guidance for proper methods of refuse
collection from multistoreyed buildings.
6.2.1 This code covers the requirements of chute system and explains
the design, construction and location of the three functionally important
components namely the chute, the inlet hopper and the collection
chamber.
6.3 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this
standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, express-
ing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance
with IS : 2-1960*. The number of significant places retained in the
rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in
this standard.
1. SCOPE
I.1 This standard covers the requirements of the refuse chute system
built in multistoreyed residential buildings for transporting and collecting
in a sanitary way the refuse from flats at different heights. The refuse is
received from the successive flats through the inlets located on the vertical
system of pipes that convey refuse through it and discharges into the
collecting chamber from where the refuse is cleared at suitable intervals.
*Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised).
3IS : 6%4 - 1973
2. TERMINOLOGY
2.0 For the purpose of this standard, .the following definitions shall apply.
2.1 Chute- A vertical pipe system passing from floor to floor provided
with ventilation and inlet openings for receiving refuse from successive
hats and ending at the ground floor on the top of the collecting chamber.
2.2 Inlet Hopper- A receptacle fitting for receiving refuse from each
1 flat and dropping it into the chute.
!
! 2.3 Collection Chamber-A compartment situated at the lower end of
E the chute for collecting and housing the refuse during the period between
two successive clearings.
3. CHUTES
3.1 Number of Chutes-The number of chutes depends upon the
convenience to the user and the quantity of refuse to be handled between
two subsequent clearings. Appendix A gives the method of calculation
of quantity of refuse f&m residential buildings.
3.2 Individual or Combined System-In continuation to 3.1, if the
chute system is designed as individual system, where each flat is served by
an independent hopper, it will be to the utmost convenience to the user.
However, a common hopper may be provided in each floor for each
chute whose number is further decided by the quantity of refuse to
be handled.
3.3 Material of Construction - Chutes may be constructed out of
asbestos cement or R.C.C. pipe with smooth inside finish.
3.4 Diameter of the Pipe- Chutes shall be of a minimum internal
diameter of 38 cm in order to avoid any chokage inside the chute and to
enable provision of a choke-free inlet hopper connection.
3.5 Finish -The inside surface of the chute should be finished as
smoothly as possible so as not to allow any sticking of refuse particle that
may cause choking eventually.
3.6 Location-The chute may be carried through service shafts meant
for carrying drainage pipes. However, the location shall be mostly
determined by the position of inlet hopper and the collecting chamber
that is most convenient for the user. It should also be considered to
locate the chute away from living rooms in order to avoid noise and smell
nuisance.
3.7 Construction-The chute pipes should be assembled vertically and
properly clamped to the wall. The joints should be of cement mortar
and the chute may be squarely embedded into the surrounding walls. A
section through a typical chute installation is given in Fig. 1.

3.8 Ventilation---The upper end of the chute, that is, beyond the
uppermost floor should be provided with a ventilation pipe to the full
bore which should rise 2 to 2.5 m above the roof or terrace of the building.
An umbrella type cowl with wire mesh at the top will be helpful to
prevent rainfall and other external objects of nuisance potential. For
high rise buildings mechanical ventilation of the exhaust type is
recommended.
5IS : 6924 - 1973
3.9 Chute Maintenance
3.9.1 Access-Each chute pipe should be provided with an access door
at intervals not greater than every third floor.
3.9.2 M’ru~~ing of Refuse-To help preventing spillage and blockage,
the residents should be encouraged to wrap their refuse.
3.9.3 Flushing of Chute-Y-connection at terrace level may preferably
be provided in order to direct a waler hose for cleahing purposes, if
needed.
4. INLET HOPPER
4.1 Location - In individual chute system, the inlet hopper shall be
located in the passage near the kitchen and in the common chute system
towards the end of the common passage. Natural ventilation should be j
adequate to prevent any possible odour nuisance. There should be
adequate lighting at this location. For ground floor flats the inlet
hoppers may be placed at a higher level and a flight of steps may be
provided for using the same.
4.2 Design and Construction-Hopper shall be constructed such that
there should be minimum escape of odour or any other vapour when the
hopper door is kept open or closed that the inside portion of the hopper
does not lodge any refuse while projecting it into the chute. The door
and the frame should be fire-resistant. A typical construction of an inlet
hopper is given in Fig. 2.
4.2,l Size of the Mouth and 7hfoat -The mouth shall have a maximum
size of 25 cm height and 36 cm width. The throat should not be less
than the size of the mouth. The diagonal of the mouth should not
be larger than the chute size.
4.2.2 Height of the Hopper- The hopper should be constructed at a
height of 75 cm measured from the floor level to the lower edge of the
inlet opening.
4.2.3 Inner Surface -The interior of the hopper should slope towards the
main chute at an angle not less than 45” to the horizontal preferably 60’
for better performance. This portion may be specially built or may
be had by providing a suitable Y-connection. If built specially, the
inside finish should be as smooth as possible. If provided by the use of
Y-connection, it may be of asbestos cement or cast iron or cement concrete
pipe.
4.2.4 Ddor, Head, Frame and Receiving Unit-These should be of mild steel,
cast iron or aluminium adequately protected against corrosion. The door
should be designed to be self-closing, to have a latch for closing it securely
6h
1s : 6!YZ4 - 1973
after use and to have a rubber gasket in between the door and the frame
for ensuring gas tightness and minimizing noise. The receiving plate
should be fitted with two retaining side plates to prevent spillage (see
Fig. 2).
4.2.5 Counterbalance of Door-The door when not in use, should fly back
to its closed position and be firmly closed.
4.2.6 Hinge--The hinge shall be such as to satisfy the requirements
in 4.2. It should not have sharp edges to harm the user. It should
be fitted such that the door can be taken out for maintenance.
4.2.7 Handle-There should be a handle fixed properly to the door for
operating the hopper door.
*
5. COLLECTION CHAMBER
JI 5.1 Location -The collection chamber shall be situated at ground level.
5.2 Capacity --If the refuse is discharged directly on the floor of the
collection chamber; the capacity is designed on the quantity of refuse ex-
pected from the chute between two consecutive clearings. It may be
recommended to provide a minimum capacity of 0’054 m3/family or
apartment per day. In the case of chutes serving small number of apart-
ments, the minimum size of the collection chamber shall be 1.2 x 1.2 x
1-g m in order to facilitate providing trolley and easy cleaning of’the
chamber. In case of proposals to collect refuse directly into a wheeled
receptacle the capacity of the chamber should be sufficient to accommodate
as many containers as would be necessary. In that case, a mild steel
container suita.bly protected against corrosion or a container of any other
suitable material may be used. If more than one container is in use, the
minimum clearance of 15 cm between the container will be necessary.
Normally the height of chute bottom above the top of the container shall
be about 30 cm in order not to allow any refuse to spill on the floor of-the
chamber. It will be preferable to provide a minimum head- room of 2 m
for the collection chamber to facilitate easy entry into it.
5.3 Construction-The walls and roof of the chamber shall be
,+ constructed of brick masonry or any non-combustible material. The door
should be of steel or any fire resistant material. The door fitting should
be properly done with the provision of rebate and reveals in the opening
so as not to allow any gas or fume to escape. The inner surface of the
I
walls, the floor and the ceiling should be plastered with cement mortar in
order to provide a smooth finish. Preferably the chamber may be lined
with glazed tiles for better cleaning and upkeeping. The junctions of the
walls with each other and with the floor shall be smoothly rounded off to
prevent lodging of dust and refuse.

5.4 Cleating and.Maintenance - Provision of water tap in the vicinity
and drainage facility with a trapped gully shall be made in order to
arrange for periodic cleaning of the chamber.
5.5 Shutter-There should be a cut-off plate or shutter at the chute
bottom in order to close off the chute at the time of handling refuse in the
chamber or while cleaning. The shutter shall be made of sheet iron slid-
ing horizontally inside angle-iron rebates. These should be made
non-corrodible with proper painting.
5.6 Lighting - Adequate artificial light should be provided in the
chamber with its control switch located on the outside wall near entrance.
5.7 Access -There shall be easy access to the chamber Car the cleaners
and refuse collectors. There should be a well paved pathway leading
to the collxtion chamber from the nearest road in.order lo facilitate easy
transport of refuse at site.
APPENDIX A
( czause 3.1 )
METHOD OF CALCULATION OF TOTAL REFUSE AND
GUIDE LINES FOR DETERMINING NUMBER OF
CHUTES AND SIZE OF COLLECTION CHAMBER
Quantity of domestic refuse
Quantity of refuse - 680 g/capita/day ( average of Bomba), survey )
Density of refuse = 240 kg/m”

Volume of refuse/capita/day = so x ~~0
= 2’83 litres
Assuming that a family residing in a flat would consist of an average
of 6 members plus 2 servants, the average volume of refuse per family
would be 2’83 x 8 = 22.64 litres/day, or say 0’027 ms/day.
Example:
To consider a multistoreyed building of 20 flats with 2 flats per floor.
Refuse/flat : O-027 ma/day. (Th is is to be ascertained from the local
municipality. )
a) No. of C/&es
1) To be decided on convenience to the user; and
2) To be decided on the total number of containers, if used in
the collection chamber.
9<j ------------
IS:6!324-1973
Assuming that individual hopper system will be convenient to the
residents, the number of chutes will be two.
To provide ftir irregularity in municipal refuse cleaning service,
collection chamber be designed to accommodate 2 days refuse.
Hence, volume of refuse/clearing = O-027 ma x 20 flats x 2 days
= 1.08 ms
As there are two chutes, capacity for each collection chamber will be
1.08
__ - 0’54 m3

However, a chamber of size 1.2 x 1’2 x 2 m will be necessary as a
minimum requirement.
b) Zf containers are to be used in the collection chamber:
Container size = 0’9 m dia x 1’3 m high of capacity of 0826 ma
Volume of refuse/clearing = 0’54 ma
Number of containers/chute = one
The above collection chamber size will be adequate.

0. FOREWORD
0.1 This, Indian Standard ( First Revision ) was adopted by the Indian
Standards Institution on 28 May 1984, after the draft finalized by the
Building Construction Practices Sectional Committee had been approved
by the Civil Engineering Division Council.
0.2 Joints are required in concrete roads and runways to relieve stresses
developed in the slab by temperature and moisture changes. To provide
an even riding surface these joints must be filled and at the same time the
materials used for filling should permit expansion and contraction of
concrete slab. This standard covers use of CNSL aldehyde resin and
coconut pith as preformed fillers. Use of bitumen-impregnated fibre is
covered in IS : 1838 ( Part 1 )-1983*.
0.3 To make the joint effective it is also necessary to prevent the ingress
of water or grit down the joint. This is achieved by using a sealing
compound over the joint filler. The requirements of sealing compound are
covered by IS : 1834-1984t.
0.4 This Indian Standard is based on the work done by the Central
Building Research Institute, Roorkee.
0.5 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this

1. SCOPE
1.1 This standard specifies the material, manufacture, properties and tests
for CNSL aldehyde resin and coconut pith based fillers for expansion
joints in concrete roads, runways, bridges and other structures.
2. MATERIAL
2.1 Cashewnut Shell. Liquid ( CNSL ) - Aldehyde Resin - Materials
required ‘are CNSL ( see 1s : 840-1964* ), phosphoric acid ( see IS : 6818-
1973? ), paraformaldehyde ( see IS : 5271-19i8$ ), calcium hydroxide [ see
IS : 1540 ( Part 2 )-19785 1, fulfuraldehyde and rubber latex.
2.2 Coconut Pith - Dry coconut pith and baby fibre are used as fillers.
These are bye products of coir industry.
3. MANUFACTURE
3.1 CNSL is polymerized by heating in presence of acid to a suitable
consistency. The polymerized liquid is mixed with coconut pith, calcium
hydroxide and hardeners - paraformaldehyde and furfuraldehyde in
suitable proportions.
The mixture is filled in wooden mould and consolidated by pressing
to a density of about 450 g/mms. Slabs of 12 mm thickness are made from
this and allowed to harden to achieve sufficient strength
Hardening may be accelerated by curing in a warm chamber. The
of
flexural strength slabs may be increased by replacing part of filler by
baby fibre and crumbling under compression may be reduced by
incorporating suitable proportions of rubber latex.
4. PROPERTIES
4.1 Preformed slabs or strips of expansion joint fillers shall not be deformed
or broken by twisting, bending or other handling when exposed to
atmospheric conditions. Pieces of the joint filler that have been damaged
shall be rejected.
4.2 Recovery - When tested in accordance with IS : 10566-198311, the
specimen shall recover at least 70 percent of its thickness before the test.
4.3 Compression - The load required to compress the test specimen
( see IS : 10566- 198311 ), IO 50 percent of its thickness before test, shall be
0.7 to 5.3 N/mms . The material after compression shall not show a loss of
more than 5 percent of its original mass.

SPECIFICATION FOR LOW AND MEDIUM
ALLOY STEEL COVERED ELECTRODES
.
FOR MANUAL METAL ARC WELDING
/ Third Revision)
0. FOREWORD
O.,l This Indian Standard ( Third Revision ) was adopted by the Indian
Standards Institution on 11 May 1982, after the draft finalized by the
Welding General Sectional Committee had been approved by the
Structural and Metals Division Council.
0.2 This standard was first published in 1959 under the title ‘ Specification
for molybdenum and chromium-molybdenum-vanadium low alloy steel
electrodes for metal arc welding ’ and was subsequently revised in 1964
and 1971.
0.3 In recent years, there has been a considerable increase in the indus-.
trial usage of the molybdenum and chromium-molybdenum steel electrodes
intended for use at elevated service temperatures and a growing use of
nickel steel and other low alloy steels for service applications at low
ambient temperatures.
0.4 This revision covers a wide variety of low and medium alloy steel
covered electrodes which were not included in the earlier standard, but
which are being manufactured indigenously and having industrial
standardization. The title of the standard has also been changed
accordingly.
0.5 The practice of using an appropriate alloyed core wire or mild steel
core wire with alloying elements added in the coating in the manufacture
of low alloy electrodes is prevalent in different parts of the world.
0.5.1 When the transfer of alloying elements from mild steel cored
electrodes with alloys added to the coating is intended, extreme care is
necessary to ensure that the electrode flux covering is intact during
striking, restriking of arc and fusion, A synthetic electrode with damaged
coating will not provide uniform alloy recovery. It is, therefore, recom-
mended that individual electrode manufacturers clearly mention in their
3ISr1395-1982
product leaflets about the two variants of electrodes, for example, synthetic
type and alloyed core wire type.
0.6 This standard keeps in view the manufacturing and trade practices
followed in the country in the field. Assistance has also been derived
from the following publications:
AWS: A-5.5-1969 Specification for low-alloy steel covered arc-
welding electrodes, America1 Welding Society,
BS 2493- 1971 Specification for low-alloy steel electrodes for manual
metal arc welding. British Standards Institution.
IS0 3580-1975 Covered electrodes for manual arc welding of
creep resisting steels - Code of symbols for identification.
International Organization for Standardization.
0.7 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this
standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated,
expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in
accordance with IS : 2-1960*. The number of significant places retained
in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value
in this standard.
1. SCOPE
1.1 This standard covers the requirements for low and medium alloy steel
covered electrodes for manual metal arc welding. The range of electrodes
covered in this standard and the chemical composition of all weld metal
have been given in Table 1.
2. TERMINOLOGY
2.1 For the purpose of this standard, the definitions given in IS : 812-
1957t shall apply.
3. SUPPLY OF MATERIALS
3.1 General requirements relating to supply of electrodes shall be as laid
down in IS : 1387-1967:.
4. CLASSIFICATION
4.1 Electrodes are classified in the following order on the basis of the
usability characteristics, the mechanical properties of the deposited weld
metal, type of flux covering as well as the chemical composition of the
deposited weld metal ( see Tables 1 and 4 ) and recommended welding
positions and current conditions.
*Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised ).
+Glossary of terms relating to welding and cutting of metals.

NOTE 1 - Symbol reversed for electrodes used exclusively on direct current.
NOTE 2 - Positive polarity +, negative polarity -.
The open circuit voltage necessary for striking the arc varies accor-
ding to the diameter of the electrode. A reference diameter is required
for symbolization. The current conditions given above applies to elect-
rode diameters greater than or equal to 2.5 mm. If electrodes of smaller
diameter are used, a higher voltage may be necessary.
The frequency of the alternating current is assumed to be 50 or

in an electrode covering. Oxygen shall be passed over the sample of
covering in a nickel or clay boat placed in a fused silica or high-
temperature ceramic-type combustion tube which is then heated. Libera-
ted water is collected in a weighed absorption U-tube and weight of water
determined by the increase in the weight of the U-tube. The moisture
content shall be expressed as a percentage of the weight of the covering
sample.
18.2 The apparatus shall be as shown in Fig. 9 and shall consist of the
following.

plain ends and a devitrification point above 1095°C. ( A high-temperature
ceramic-type tube can be used, but a higher blank value will result. ) A
plug of fine glass wool to filter the gases shall be inserted far enough
into the exit end of the combustion tube to be heated to a temperature of
204-260°C.
18.2.4 Water absorption train consisting of a U-tube ( Schwartz tube )
filled with anhydrous magnesium perchlorate and a concentrated sulphuric
acid gas-sealing bottle.
18.3 The covering sample of approximately 4 g shall be a composite of
the middle portions of covering from three electrodes from the same
package and shall be removed by bending or with clean, dry forceps. The
sample shall be transferred immediately to a dried, stoppered vial or
sample bottle.
32IS t 1395 - 1982
18.4 The furnace shall be operated at 900 to 930°C with an oxygen flow
of ‘200 to 251) ml per min. ‘The nickel boat shall be placed in the com-
bustion tube for drying and the absorption U-tube shall be attached to
the system for ‘ conditioning ‘. After 30 min, the absorption U-tube shall
be removed and placed in a desiccator in which anhydrous magnesium
perchlorate is used as the desiccant. After a cooling period of 20 min, the
absorption U-tube shall be weighed.
18.5 Immediately after weighing the absorption U-tube, the sample
covering shall be weighed on the balance dish and quickly transferred to
the boat. The combustion tube shall be opened, the weighed absorption
U-tube attached, the boat and sample transferred to the combustion tube,
and the tube closed. After an ignition period of 30 min the absorption
U-tube shall be removed from the combustion tube and transferred to the
balance case. If another sample is to be run, the boat shall be taken from
the combustion tube, the ignited sample removed, and the boat trans-
ferred to the desiccator. The absorption U-tube shall be weighed after
the 20 min cooling period. Another determination may be started
immediately and it is not necessary to repeat the blank determination
since the same combustion boat can be used.
18.6 In the blank determination, the procedure for an actual moisture
determination shall be followed step-by-step with a single exception of
omitting the sample. The nickel boat shall be removed from the
desiccator and exposed to the atmosphere for a period approximating the
time required to transfer the sample from the balance pan to the boat.
The combustion tube shall be opened, the weighed absorption U-tube
attached, the boat placed in the combustion tube, ,and the tube closed.
After a heating period of 30 min, the absorption U-tube shall be removed
and placed in the balance case and the nickel boat shall be transferred to
the desiccator. After the 20 min cooling period, the absorption U-tube
shall be weighed and the gain in weight shall be taken as the blank value.
18.7 The calculation shall be made according to the following formula:
A -B
Percent moisture = x 100
Weight of sample
where
A - gain in weight of absorption U-tube in moisture determi-
nation, and
B =h gain in weight of absorption U-tube in blank determi-
nation.
33IS:1395- 1982
18.8 Modifications of Moisture Test Apparatus
18.8.1 The moisture test apparatus as per the following modifications
may also be used for determining the moisture content of electrode
coverings.
18.8.2 Nickel boats are used rather than clay boats because lower
blank valves can be obtained. Some laboratories use zirconium silicate
combustion tube in preference to fused silica or mullite because zirconium
silicate will not devitrify or allow the escape of combustible gases at
temperature up to 1 370°C. Some combustion tubes are reduced at the
exit end and a separate dust trap is used. This dust trap consists of a
200 mm drying tube filled with glass wool which is inserted between the
Schwartz absorption bulb and the combustion tube. A suitable 150°C
heater is mounted around the dust trap to keep the evolved water from
condensing in the trap. The dust trap is filled with glass wool which can
be easily inspected to determine when the glass wool should be replaced.
18.8.3 On the ingoing side of the combustion tube, a pusher rod can be
used consisting of a 3 2 mm stainless steel rod mounted in a 6.4 mm
copper tee fitting. This is used at the entrance of the combustion tube
and permits gradual introduction of the sample into the tube while oxygen
is passing over the sample. In this way, any free moisture will not be
lost, which can happen if the sample is introduced directly into the hot
zone before closing the end of the tube.
APPENDIX A
( Clause 4.1.3 )
CHARACTERISTICS OF ELECTRODE COVERINGS
Tyke of Covering Chmzcteristics
C Electrodes of the cellulosic type have a covering
which contains a large quantity of combustible
organic substances, so that the decomposition of
the latter in the arc produces a voluminous gas
shield. The amount of slag produced is small and
the slag is easily detached.
This type of electrode is characterized by a highly
penetrating arc and fairly high fusion rate. Spatter
losses are fairly large and the weld surface is
somewhat coarse, with unevenly spaced ripples.
These electrodes are usually suitable for welding
in all positions.
3418 : 1395- 1982
Type of Covering Characteristics
R Rutile type electrodes have a covering containing a
large quantity of rutile or components derived
from titanium oxide. Usually this amounts to
50% by mass ( not taking into account cellulosic
material ).
The R type can be distinguished from the other
types by its heavier slag. Sometimes this difference
is not readily discernible, especially with electrodes
having a medium covering, but the amount of
rutile in the covering is well above 45 percent.
Because of the difference in application and also
mechanical properties, a subdivision is made
according to the thickness of the covering.
The covering is of medium thickness. Small amounts
of cellulosic material, up to the maximum of
15 percent may be present in the covering. These
electrodes are particularly suitable for welding in
the vertical and overhead positions.
Although the susceptability to solidification cracking
because of dilution by the parent metal is not so
high as that of the acid type, care has to be taken
in view of the fact that usually a weld is made
with a much smaller throst thickness than with
acid electrodes. .
0 Electrodes of the oxidizing type have a thick cover-
ing composed mainly of iron oxides with or
without manganese oxides. The covering gives a
slag so that the deposited metal contains only
small amounts of carbon and manganese. The
slag is heavy, compact that often self-detaching.
This type of electrode gives poor penetration and
a fluid molten pool, and is particularly suitable
when only a small weld is required. Usually its
use is restricted to welding in the horizontal-
vertical fillet weld and flat fillet weld positions.
These electrodes are used mainly for welding steels
when the appearance of the weld is more impor-
tant than the mechanical strength of the joint.Ii3 t 1395 - 1982
Tyfx of Covbring Charucteristics
B Electrodes of the basic type usually have a thick
covering containing considerable quantities of
calcium or other basic carbonates and fluorspar so
that metallurgically they are basic in character.
There is a medium quantity of dense slag, which
often has a brotin to dark-brown colour and a
glossy appearance, It is easily detached and as it
rises to the surface of the weld very quickly, slag
inclusions are not likely to occur. This type of
electrode gives an arc of average penetration, and
is generally suitable for welding in all positions.
This type of electrode is often used, on direct
current, electrode positive, but there are electrodes
that can be used on alternating current.
As the deposited metal is highly resistant to solidifi-
cation and cold cracking, these electrodes are
particularly suitable for welding heavy sections
and very rigid carbon steel structures. They are
also recommended for welding medium tensile
steels and steels the carbon and sulphur context of
which are higher than those of carbon steel of
good weldable quality.
The coverings of basic electrodes have to be very
dry : conesquently electrodes used to be stored in
a very dry place or, if they have already absorbed
moisture, to be dried before use, according to the
recommendation of the manufacturer. This en-
sures that the deposited metal will have a low
hydrogen content, and there is less risk of under-
bead cracking when welding steels likely to show
a marked hardening in the heat-affected zone.

GUIDE FOR
PRESENTATION OF PROJECT REPORT
FOR RIVER VALLEY PROJECTS
( First Revision )
0. FOREWORD
0.1T his Indian Standard ( First Revision) was adopted by the Indian
Standards Institution on 31 October 1985, after the draft finalized by the
River Valley Planning, Project Reports, Progress and Completion Reports
Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering
Division Council.
0.2 Project reports are being prepared and submitted to the concerned
authorities in so many different patterns, sizes and formats that necessity
for some kind of uniformity in presentation has been felt since long. This
standard is proposed to serve as a guide to achieve this object. Invariably
all the project reports have to include a number of drawings. The sizes,
practices and standard of preparation of drawings vary so much from
state to state and organization to organization that need for such a guide
to bring about uniformity was felt.
0.3 This guide covers all important items which are generally considered
in the preparation of project reports for river valley projects The guide
will, therefore, provide the necessary check against omission of any
important item while preparing such project reports.
0.4 This standard was published in 1967. In this revision, based on the
experience gained in the use of the standard, drawing sheet sizes have
been modified to correspond to IS : 1071 l-1983*.
1. SCOPE
1.1T his standard provides guidance regarding presentation of a project
report for river valley projects and covers items on titles and title page
‘Sizes of drawing sheets.
3IS : 4008 - 1935
of the report, table of contents, size of paper, margins, page numbring,
drawings, etc.
2. TITLES AND TITLE PAGE
2.1 The title page of a project report has been divided, for the sake of
convenience, into three parts, namely, top, middle and bottom.
2.1.1 Top of the Title Page - The title page of project report shall carry
at the top on the right ‘For Official Use Only’, the emblem and name of
the State Government or other authority, responsible for the preparation
of the project report.
2.1.2 Middle of the Title Page - The middle of the title page shall carry
the following items :
a) Name of the project,

arrow shall be included wherever practicable. Detail maps, plans and
layout drawings for dams, reservoirs and other major structures should
be oriented so that the direction of stream flow is towards the top or the
right side of the sheet. All sections parallel to the direction of streamflow
should be drawn with the direction of ilow towards the right, unless a
particular detail cannot be properly illustrated with such an orientation.
All vertical section and elevations normal to the direction of flow should
be shown looking downstream unless such arrangement would fail to
show the feature intended by the section.
11.8.1 As nearly as possible, the following plan should be followed for
the layout of the drawing. The principal views should be placed at the
top and left of the sheet; the secondary views to the right or beneath the

fit best, preferably to the right or beneath all other views. After all the
views are drawn, letter designation to view sub-titles should be assigned
in alphabetical order, from top and left towards bottom and right. All
notes and scales pertaining to the drawing should be accommodated in
the space reserved for the purpose above the title block.
NOTE - In a drawing more than two scales should not be used. If any
particular detail has unavoidably to be shown on a third scale, that detail should
indicate clearly as drawn ‘ Hot to Scale ‘.

FOREWORD
This Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalised by
the Wrought Steel Products Sectional Committee had been approved by the Metal!urgical
Engineering Division Council.
?his standard was first published in 1962 and revised in 1982,
In the present revision assistance has been drawn from German Standard DIN 17155 : 1983 ‘Creep
resistance steel plate and strip; technical delivery conditions’.
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with,
the final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be
rounded off in accordance with IS 2 : 1960 ‘Rules of rounding off numerical values ( revised)‘.
The number of significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of
the specified value in this standard.

FOREWORD
This Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by
the Foundation Engineering Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering
Division Council.
The installation of heavy rotary machines, namely. steam turbo-generators, turbo-compressors and
blowers, involves design of their foundations taking into considerations the vibration characteristics
of the foundarions system. While many of the special features relating to the design and
construction of such machine foundations are guided by the manufacturers, slill a large part of the
details shall have to be according to certain general principles of design covering machine
foundations. This code of practice for design and construction of machine foundations ( IS 2974 )
is being published in parts. This part lays down the general principles for frame foundations for
rotary machines of medium to high frequencies. The other parts of this code are:
IS 2974 Code of practice for design and construction of machine foundatians:
Part 1 : 1982 Foundations for reciprocating type machines
Part 2 : 1980 Foundations for impact type machines ( hammer foundations )
Part 4 : 1979 Foundations for rotary type machines of low frequency
Part 5 : 1987 Foundations for impact type of machines other than hammers ( forging and
stamping press, pig breakers, drop crusher and jolter )
In the design and construction of foundations for rotary machines, a proper coordinations between
the different branches of engineering, including those dealing with erection and commissioning is
essential.
Coordinated efforts by the different branches would result in satisfactory performance, convenience
of operation, economy and a good general appearance of the complete unit. The main unit with
all its auxiliaries and adjacent piping must be provided for, when making the foundation plans and
al1 the details should be well worked out, before going ahead with the design.
This standard first published in the year 1967 and subsequently revised in 1975. This revision has
been prepared, based on a numbers of comments received on this standard, keeping in view the
current design practices followed in India and abroad. The sizes and capacities of turbo-generators
have increased ( up to 500 MW ) since the last revision of the code. There have been fundamental
changes in the design philosophy of turbogenerator foundations, for example use of slender columns,
long and flexible top decks, etc. With the advent of powerful computers and finite element analysis
computer programmes the use of three-dimensional space frame models for static and dynamic
analysis has become common in design offices. The code has been made more relevant to design
office use. Aspects such as preliminary sizing of the foundations and loading combinations are
expected to be useful to the less experienced designers.
For large sized foundations with complex structural arrangement, it has been observed that two-
dimensional plane frame models are nof possible to use. For such foundations three-dimensional
space frame model is recommended for analysis.
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular require,ment of this standard is complied with, the
final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test, shall be rounded o!t in accordance
with IS 2 : 1960 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised )‘. The number of significant
places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this
standard.IS2974(Part3) : 1992

METHODS OF TEST FOR SOILS
PART XXVII DETERMINATION OF TOTAL
SOLUBLE SULPHATES
( First Revision )
0. FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard ( Part XXVII ) ( First Revision ) was adopted
by the Indian Standards Institution on 30 December 1977, after the
draft finalized by the Soil Engineering Sectional Committee had been
approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council.
0.2 With a view to establish uniform procedures for the determination of
different characteristics of soils and also for facilitating comparative studies
of the results, the Indian Standards Institution is bringing out this Indian
Standard Methods of test for soils ( IS : 2720 ) which is being published
in parts. This part [IS : 2720 ( Part XXVII)-19771 deals with the
method for the determination of total soluble sulphates in soils. Sodium
sulphate is present in some Indian soils. The salt is easily hydrated and
dehydrated under the influence of climatic changes. There are enormous
volume changes during this process of hydration and dehydration, which
influence the engineering properties of soils. Both soluble sulphate content
and moisture content of soil are subject to seasonal fluctuations and are
mutually interdependent.
0.2.1 This standard was first published in 1968. In this revision a
calorimetric or turbidimetric method, which is a rapid method has been
added.
0.3 In the formulation of this standard due weightage has been given to
international co-ordination among the standards and practices prevailing
in different countries in addition to relating it to the practices in the field
in this country. This has been met by basing the standard on the following
publication:
INDIA. MINISTRY OF IRRIGATION & PO~VER. Central Board of
Irrigation & Power, Publication No. 42. Standards for testing soils.
1963. Central Board of Irrigation & Power, New Delhi.
3IS I 2720 ( Part XXVII ) - 1977
0.4 In reporting the result of a test or analysis made in accordance with
this standard, if the final value, observed or calculated, is to be rounded
off, it shall be done in accordance with IS : 2-1960*.
1. SCOPE
1.1 This standard ( Part XXVII ) lays down the procedure for determin-
ing the total soluble sulphate content of soils by: (a) precipitation method,
(b) volumetric method, and (c) calorimetric or turbidimetric method.
2. PRECIPITATION METHOD ( STANDARD METHOD )

2.1.2 Glass Beaker - of 250 ml capacity.
2.1.3 Glass Funnel - 50 mm diameter.
2.1.4 Glass Bottle - of 250 ml capacity with a rubber cork.
2.1.5 Crucible - of 50 ml capacity.
2.1.6 Heating Equipment
2.1.7 Pipette - 25 ml.
2.1.8 Burrette - 50 ml with O-1 ml graduation.

2.1.13 Drying Oven
2.2 Reagents
2.2.1 Phenolphthabin Indicator Solution - Dissolve 0.1 g of phenolphthalein
in 60 ml of rectified spirit and dilute with distilled water to 100 ml.
2.2.2 Concentrated Hydrochloric Acid - specific gravity l-18 ( conforming
to IS : 265-1962-l’ ).
2.2.3 Barium Chloride Solution -5 percent. Dissolve 5 g of barium
chloride in 100 ml of distilled water.
*Rules for roundingo ff numerical values ( rmiscd ) .
$Specificationf or hydrochloric acid ( rrviscd ).
4Is : 2720 ( Part XXVII ) - 1977
2.2.4 Silver JVitrate Indicator Solution - 0.5 percent. Dissolve 500 mg of
silver nitrate in 100 ml of distilled water.
NOTE- Unless specified otherwise, pure chemicals and distilled water ( see IS : 1070-
1977*) shall be used in tests. ‘ Pure chemicals ’ shall mean chemicals that do not
contain impurities which affect the results of analysis.
2.3 Soil Sample-The soil sample shall be brought to a state in which
it may be crumbled, if necessary, by drying it in an oven maintained at
105 to 110°C. The aggregations of particles shall be broken up in mortar
with rubber covered pestle or the mechanical device. The sample shall be
thoroughly mixed and then sub-divided by quartering.
2.4 Principle of the Method - The method depends upon preparing an
aqueous extract of the soil and determining the sulphate content of this
extract or an aliquot portion of it by the precipitation of sulphate as
barium sulphate, filtering off the precipitate and weighing it.
2.5 Procedure -Take 10 g of soil from the sample prepared as given
in 2.3, in a 250-ml bottle with 100 ml of distilled water. Give occasional
shaking for 2 h by means of the mechanical shaker. Allow the soil
suspension to stand overnight ( in case the soil is in a dispersed condition,
add O-5 to 1.0 g of pure potassium nitrate to flocculate the particles ).
Filter and take 25 ml of filtrate in a beaker and add concentrated hydro-
chloric acid to just neutralize the solution if it is found alkaline to
phenolphthalein indicator. Add further 4 ml concentrated hydrochloric
acid to make the solution acidic. Boil the solution. Remove the solution
from the source of heat and add hot barium chloride solution in a fine
stream with constant stirring, till there is no precipitation with a further
addition. Place the beaker on a steam-bath for a minimum period of 4 h
and allow the precipitate to settle. Filter the precipitate through ashless
filter paper, wash free from chloride ions ( see Note ), dry and ignite. The
filteration may also be done through a preweighed sintered glass crucible
or a Gooch crucible. In the case of filter paper, after drying, ashing shall
be done on a low flame and the precipitate then ignited over a burner or
in a muffle furnace at 600 to 700°C for half an hour. Cool in a
desiccator, weigh and note the weight of the residue. This is the weight
of barium sulphate. A corresponding weight of sodium sulphate should be
calculated and thus its percentage determined ( see 2.6 ).
NOTE- To check whether the residue is free of chloride ions, collect the washings
in a separate test-tube at different time intervals and add a drop of O-5 percent silver
nitrate solution to it. The formation of white cloudy precipitate shows the presence of
chloride ions in the precipitate. Continue washing until the white precipitate is not
formed in the washings by the addition of silver nitrate solution. Hot water may be
used for washing.
*Specification for water for general laboratory use ( second revision ).

b) Sulphates ( as Na, SO1 ), percent by mass = 60.85 2
¶
where
WI = mass in g of the precipitate, and
W, = mass in g of the soil contained in the solution taken for
precipitation.
3. VOLUMETRIC METHOD ( SUBSIDIARY METHOD )
3.1 Principle - The volumetric method depends upon insol&e barium
sulphate forming and settling rapidly when barium chloride-. solution is
added to the sulphate solution. The barium chloride reagent is added in
excess and the excess is determined by the standard solutjpn of barium
chromate. With the formation of potassium chromate, the,slight excess of
chromate reagent becomes evident from the resultant yell w colour of the
f
supernatent solution. The end point can be further tested1 ( confirmed ) by
silver nitrate solution used as an external indicator. A b+ck red coloura-
tion is obtained when a drop of silver nitrate is added’to a drop of the
chromate solution.

allow to decant, filter, wash the soil on filter paper with a small quantity of
water and make the filtrate to 100 ml. Pipette out 10 ml of the water
extract in a conical flask, make it slightly acidic by adding concentrated
hydrochloric acid and heat to boiling. While boiling_, add barium
chloride solution ( N/4 ) f rom the burette till the precipitation is complete
and barium chloride solution is in slight excess.
3.4.1 Neutralize the solution with ammonium hydroxide and titrate the
excess of barium chloride against potassium chromate solution ( N/4 ).
The end point may be confirmed if considered necessary, by using silver
nitrate soluuon as an external indicator ( Jee 3.1).
3.5 Calculation - Calculate as follows:
Sulphates as sodium sulphate in soil,
percent by mass = 0.0177 x 100(x-Y)
where
x = voiume of N/4 barium chloride added, ml;
Y = volume of N/4 potassium chromate solution used in back
titration; and
x -y = N/4 barium chloride actually used for precipitating
sulphate.

Indian Standard
SPECIFICATION FOR
PRECAST CONCRETE CABLE COVERS
0. FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution
on 22 August 1970, after the draft finalized by the Cement and Concrete
Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division
Council.
0.2 Precast reinforced and unreinforced concrete covers are used for cover-
ing cables with a view to give a warning of the presence of an underground
electric cable and also to rotect cables against blows from excavating tools.
This standard has been Fo rmulated to provide guidance in the manufac-
ture and use of the above cable covers.
0.2.1 The cable eovers have been classified based. upon the description’
and condition where the above covers are normally used. The use of
unreinforced concrete covers is recommended mainly for locations where
dangers from pick-axing are not significant and in situations of secondary
importance. This standard does not cover the interlocking cable covers.
0.3 In the formulation of this standard due weightage has been given to
international co-ordination among the standards and practices prevailing in
different countries in addition to relating it to the practices in the field in
this country. This has been met by deriving assistance from B.S. 2484 : 1961
‘ Specification for cable covers ( concrete and earthen ) ‘, published by the
British Standards Institution.
0.4 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this
standard is complied with the final value, observed or calculated, expressing
the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with
IS : 2-1960*. The number of significant places retained .in the rounded off
value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.
1. SCOPE
1.1 This standard covers the requirements for reinforced and unreinforced
precast concrete covers for covering cables.
*Ruln for rounding off numerical valuer ( rathi).IS : 5820 - 1970
2. MATERIALS
2.1 Cement-The cement shall conform to IS : 269.1967* or IS : 455-l 967t
or IS : 1489-1967:.
2.2 Aggregate - Aggregate from natural sources shall comply with <the
requirements of IS : 383-1970§. Blast furnace slag coarse aggregate or any
other aggregate may be used by agreement between the purchaser and
the manufacturer.
2.2.1 All aggregates shall be of a size appropriate to the sections of the
products being produced but shall not exceed 10 mm nominal size,
2.2.2 Flyash and burnt clay pozzolana conforming to IS : 3812 ( Part
III )-1966ll and IS : 1344-19681 respectively may be used as fine aggre-
gate by agreement between the purchaser and the manufacturer taking the
advantage of their pozzolanic properties.
2.3 Water-Water shall be clean and free from injurious amounts of
deleterious materials and of a quality fit for drinking purposes.
2.4 Steel Wire or Rod- Steel wire or rod for reinforcement shall
conform to IS: 432 (Part I )-1966**, IS: 432 (Part II )-1966t7,
IS : 1139-1966$$, IS : 1566-196795 or IS : 1786-19661!11 as agreed to
between the purchaser and the manufacturer.
3. CLASSIFICATION
3.1 The precast concrete cable covers may be reinforced or unreinforced
depending on the user requirements. Reinforced concrete cable covers
generally provide the higher degree of safety against shattering,than unrein-
forced concrete cable covers. Whether the concrete cable cover is to be

reinforced or unreinforced should be decided baaed upon the type of
protection required by the user. Use of unreinforced precast concrete cable
cover is recommended for situations of secondary importance or where the
danger from pick-axing are not significant.
3.2 The precast concrete cable covers generally are of two types namely
with peak and flat (see Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 ). Precast concrete cable covers
shall be classified as under:
Class Description of cable coucrs Conditions where normal& used

3.3 Arched type cable covers are also sometimes used, a typical design of
which is shown in Fig. 3. These cable covers may be manufactured with
suitable changes in dimensions to conform to the other dimensions of the
standard.
4. DIMENSIONS AND TOLERANCES
4.1 Dimensions of reinforced and unreinforced precast concrete cable covers.
shall be as indicated in Table 1. Tolerances on length and width shall
be f3 mm and’on thickness shall be &2 mm.
5. MANUFACTURE
5.1 The concrete used in the manufacture of cable covers shall not be of
a grade lower than M 200 as in IS : 456-1964*.
5.2 Mixing - Concrete shall no&rally be mixed in a mechanical mixer.
Mixing shall be continued until there is a uniform distribution of the
materials and the mass is uniform in colour and consistency.
5.2.1 When hand mixing is permitted by the engineer-in-charge, it shall
be carried out on a water-tight platform and care shall be taken to ensure
that mixing is continued until the mass is uniform in colour and
consistency.

8.2 Impact Strength - The samples of reinforced concrete cable covers
taken as described in 7.1 shall be tested in the manner described in
Appendix A using an equipment shown in Fig. 5. They shall be subjected
to two blows from the tup, both delivered from a height of 460 mm
measured vertically between the centre of the top surface of the cable
cover being tested and the striking end of the tup, the point of impact
being the centre of the cable cover for both blows. When tested in this
manner there shall result not more than one transverse crack, that is a
crack across the full width of the cable cover.
8.2.1 Each group of samples being tested shall be divided into two
batches of e ual number of samples. In the event of one sample in the
first batch far9 .m g to conform with the requirement specified in 8.2, then all
the samples of the second batch shall be tested. If all the samples of the
second batch pass, the consignment shah be deemed to conform to the
requirements of this standard, but if even one sample in the second batch
fails, the consignment shall be deemed not to conform to the requirements
of this standard.
8.3 Transverse Strength - The samples of unreinforced concrete cable
covers taken as described in 7.2 shall be tested in the manner described in
Appendix B using an equipment shown in Fig. 6. The averge breaking
load of six covers shall first be taken. Should the average breaking load
of these six covers be equal to or greater than the values given in Table I,
the consignment shall be deemed to conform to this standard. Should the
average breaking load of the six covers be less than the limit specified in
Table 1, the test shall be repeated on further nine covers which were set
aside. Should the average of the tests on the fifteen covers be equal to or
greater than the limits specified in Table I, the consignment shall be
deemed to conform to this standard. Should the average of the tests on
the fifteen covers be less than the limits specified in Table 1, the consign-
mept shall be deemed not to conform to this standard.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS RELATING TO
CEMENT CONCRETE
PART I CONCRETE AGGREGATES
0. FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard ( Part I ) was adopted by the Indian Standards
Institution on 25 February 1972, after the draft finalized by the Cement
and Concrete Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil
Engineering Division Council.
0.2 Cement concrete is one of the most versatile and extensively used
building materials in all civil engineering constructions. There are a
number of technical terms connected with the basic materials for concrete
as well as the production and use of concrete which quite often require
clarification to give precise meaning to the stipulations in the standard
specifications, codes of practices and other technical documents. It has,
therefore, become necessary to standardize the various terms and defini-
tions used in cement and concrete technology and thus avoid ambi-
guity in their interpretations. The Sectional Committee has, therefore,
decided to bring out a series of glossaries of terms relating to concrete
and concrete materials.
0.3 For convenience of reference, the Indian Standard glossary of terms
relating to cement concrete has been grouped into the following twelve
parts:
Part I Concrete aggregates
Part II Materials ( other than cement and aggregate )
Part III Concrete reinforcement
Part IV Types of concrete
Part V Formwork for concrete
Part VI Equipment, tools and plant
Part VII Mixing, laying, compaction, curing and other
construction aspects
Part VIII Properties of concrete
Part IX Structural aspects
Part X Tests and testing apparatus
3-_
IS:6461 (PartI)- -
Part XI Prestressed concrete
Part XII Miscellaneous
0.3.1 In addition to the above, two separate standards have been
brought out concerning terminology relating to hydraulic cement and
pozzolanic materials. These standards are IS : 4845-1968* and IS :
4305-1967t.
0.4 In the formulation of this standard due weightage has been given to
international co-ordination among the standards and practices prevailing
in different countries in additidn to relating it to the practices in the field
in this country. This has been met by deriving assistance from the
following publications:
BS 2787 : 1956 Glossary of terms for concrete and reinforced concrete.
British Standards Institution.
BS 4340 : 1968 Glossary of formwork of terms. British Standards
Institution.
ASTM Designation : C 125 Definitions of terms relating to concrete
aggregate. American Society for Testing and Materials.
ACI No. SP-19 ( 1967 ) Cement and concrete terminology. American
Concrete Institute.
AC1 617-1968 Recommended practice for concrete formwork.
American Concrete Institute.
1. SCOPE
1.1 This standard ( Part I ) covers definitions of terms relating to aggre-
gates for cement concrete.
2. DEFINITIONS
2.0 For the purpose of this standard, the following definitions shall apply,
2.1 Absorption -- The process by which a liquid is drawn into and tends
to fill permeable pores in a porous solid body; also, the increase in weight

permeable pores.
NOTE- In the case of concrete and concrete aggregates, unless otherwise stated, the
liquid involved is water, the increase in weight is that which does not include water
adhering to the outside surface, the increase in weight is expressed as a percentage of
the dry weight of the body and the body is considered to be ‘ dry ’ when it has been
treated by an appropriate process to remove uncombined water, such as drying to
constant weight at a temperature between 100 and 110°C.

FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Second Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft
finalized by the Fire Safety Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division
Council.
This standard was first published in 1961, revised subsequently in 1982. The present revision is based on
the subsequent development and modifications in other regulations such as electrical rules of the Tariff
Advisory Committee, Indian Electricity Rules, etc, and other Indian Standards. Special precautionary
measures for use of aluminium conductors and for use of fluorescent fittings in electrical installations are
included in the revision. The other changes relate to the developments in wiring methods and other
general aspects.
The requirements of this code are to be treated as supplementary to the requirements of the Indian
Electricity Act, 1910 and the Rules of 1956 thereunder and in no case as substitutes. In the preparation
of this code, it has been presumed that the electrical installation work is carried out by qualified
contractors and electricians under the supervision of competent engineers as required by the Indian
Electricity Rules.
For ‘the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the
final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test, shall be rounded off in accordance with
IS 2 : 1960 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised)‘. The number of significant places retained
in the rounded off value should be the same as that of specified value in this standard.IS 1646: 1997

FOREWORD
This Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on 20 February 1990, after the
draft finalized by the Fire Safety Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering
Division Council.
In the entire process of rayon yarn or staple fibre manufacturing the greatest hazard lies in the
handling of carbon disulphide which is one of the most dangerous of the common flammable liquids
because of its low auto-ignition temperature and flash point, wide explosive range and high
volatility. The chances of outbreak of fire in a staple fibre plant are also very high in the processes
connected with treatment of the staple fibre, that is, processes subsequent to the extrusion of the
fibre.
The other locations where fires are likely to occur are the polymerization sections, drier rooms, yarn
packaging rooms, godowns and open storage areas. Chances of fires in these locations can be
considerably reduced or even eliminated if precautions and safety measures mentioned in this Indian
Standard are followed. This Indian Standard was first published in 1965. The revision has been
prepared to align to the extent possible with the TAC rules and also update its requirements.
Provisions of this code are supplimentary to the relevant statutory requirements as laid down in
Indian Factory Act, Petroleum Rules, Gas Cylinder Rules, etc.IS 305% : 1990

CODE OF PRACTICE FOR
CONSTRUCTION OF REINFORCED
CONCRETE SHELL ROOF
0. FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard was adopted by the Indian Standards InstiA
tution on 22 October 1962, after the draft finalized by the Building
Construction Practices Sectional Committee had been approved by the
Building Division Council.
0.2 Reinforced concrete shell roofs are chosen commonly for covering
large clear areas using the minimum of intermediate supports, such as
in factory buildings, godowns, power stations, garages, island platforms
of railway stations, stadia, etc.
0.2.1 This standard is intended to give a general guidance to those
engaged in the construction of reinforced concrete shell roofs. Because
of the multiplicity of shapes employed in modern shell construction, it is
difficult to lay down rules which will have a universal application.
It needs hardly be emphasized that the design and construction of sheil
roofs is a specialized job and the specifications of the designer shall
always prevail over the general regulations laid down in this standard.
0.3 The Sectional Committee responsible for the preparation of this
standard has taken into consideration the views of builders and techno-
logists and has related the standard to the building practices followed
in the country in this field. Due weightage has also been given to the
need for international co-ordination among standards prevailing in
different countries of the world.
0.4 Wherever a reference to any Indian Standard appears in this code,
it shall be taken as a reference to the latest version of the standard.
0.5 Metric system has been adopted in India and all quantities and
dimensions in this standard have been given in this system.
0.6 For the purpose of deciding wh ther a particular requirement
of this standard is complied with, th e-fien al value, observed or calculated,
expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in
accordance with IS : 2-1960 Rules for Rounding Off Numerical Values
( Revised ). The number of significant places retained in the roundedIS:2204-1962
off value should he the same as that of the specified value in this
standard.
0.7 This standard is intended chiefly to cover the technical provisions
relating to reinforced concrete shell roof construction, and it dots not
cover all the necessary provisions of a contract.
1.S This standard covers the in-situ construction of reinforced concrete
shells of single and double curvature.
1.2 Precast and prestressed shells are not covered in this standard.
X,3 Shells of light weight concrete are also excluded from the scope of
this standard.
2. TERMINOLOGY
28 For the purpose of this standard, the following definitions shall
apply*
2.1 Shell Dimensions
2.1.1 Chord Width (see B in Fig. 1 ) - The horizontal projection
sf the arc of the shell.
2.1.2 Radius - Radius at any point of the skin in one of the two
principal directions in the case of cylindrical shells.
NOTE- Ifs circukr BTCis used, the rsdiua of the 8rc is the radius of shell. In
other cases, the redius R et any point ia related to the radius R, at the orown by

2J.3 Rise ( see fin Fig. 1 ) -The rise of the shell at any rection is
the vertical distance between the lower springing level and the highest
Ievcl or apex of the shell.
2.1.4 Semi-centA Angle (see q$ in Fig. 1 ) -This is half the angle
subtended by the arc of a symmetrical circular shell at the ctntrt.

2.1.5 Span (see L in Fig. 1 ) - As referred to a cylindrical shell, this
is the distance between the centre lines of ‘two adjacent end frames or

2.2 Types
2.2.1 Barrel Shells - Cylindrical shells which are symmetrical about
the crown.
2.2.2 Butterfly Shells - Butterfly shells are those which consist of two
parts of a cylindrical shell joined together at their lower edges
( see Fig. 2 ).
2.23 Continuous Cylindrical Shells - Cylindrical shells which are
longitudinally continuous over the traverses ( sty Fig. 3 ).
2.2.4 Corrugated Shells - Shells which have corrugations on their
surface ( see Fig. 4).
23.5 Cylindrical Shells - Shells generated by a curve moving on
a straight line or vice versa. Barrel shells (see Fig. 1 ), north light

cylindrical shells, and butterfly shells are common examples of this type.
The common curves employed for the cross section of cylindrical
shells are (a) arc of a circle, (b) semi-ellipse, (c) parabola, (d) catenary
and (e) cycloid (see Fig. 5).
NOTE -The semicircle, the semi-ellipse and the cycloid have the advantage that
.the tangents at the ends are vertical and hence the horizontal thrusts transferred

truction is the segment of 8 circle.
2.2.6 Multiple Cylirtdrical shells ( see Fig. 6) - A series of parallel
cylindrical shells which are traversely continuous.
FIN. 6 MULTIPLE BARR~~L SRELI~
2.2.7 North-Light Cyiindrical Sfiells - Cylindrical shells with the two
springings at different levels and built in sing!e or multiple bays and
having provisions for north-light glazing ( see Fig. 7 )_
2.2.0 Ruled Surfaces -A surface which can be generated entirely by a
straight line, The surface is said to be singly ruled if at every point a
single straight line only can be ruled and ‘doubly ruled ’ if at ever)
point two straight lines can be ruled. Cylindrical shell and conoid
( see Fig. 8 ) are examples of singly ruled surfaces, and .hyperbolic
paraboloid ( see Fig. 9A and 9B ) and inverted umbrella ( see Fig. 10 )
are examples of doubly ruled surfaces.
Ruled surfaces have a practical advantage that they can be formed
by straight plank shuttering. Doubly ruled surfaces obviously have
greater advantage for shuttering than singly ruled surfaces.
2.2.9 Shells of Revoiution- Those generated by curves revolved about
iheii axis of symmetry. Examples are segmental domes (see Fig. 11 ),
paraboloids of revolution and hyperboloids of revolution. The term
‘ hyperboloid of revolution ‘) unless otherwise qualified, will mean
hyperboloid of revolution of one sheet.
2.2.10 Shell Roof-Curved surfaces in which the thickness is small as
compared to the radius and other dimensions.

2.2.11 Xranslational Shell -This is the surface generated when one
curve moves parallel to itself along another curve, the planes of the two
curves being at right angles to each other. As a special case, one or
both the curves may be straight lines. Examples are ‘ hyperbolic
paraboloids ’ ( generated by a convex parabola moving over a concave
parabola or vice versa ), ‘ elliptic paraboloids ’ ( see Fig. 12 ) ( generated
by one parabola moving over another parabola, both being convex),
and “cylindrical shells ‘.

mon edge member provided at the junction of two adjacent multiple
shells.

2.3.2 End Frames or Traverses - E&l frames or traverses are structures
provided to support and preserve the geometry of the shell.
2.33 Edge Member - -4 member provided at the edge of the shell.
233.1 An edge member or traverse or a portion thereof is said to
be ( up-stand’ when it projects above the extrados of the shell and
‘ down-stand’ when it projects below intrados of the shell.
3. NECESSARY INFORMATION
3.1 For the efficient construction of shell roofs, detailed information
with regard to &e following shall be furnished by the designer to the
builder:
Working drawings showing the orientation and arrangement of
shells, dimensions, details of reinforcement including exact
positioning, and other salient features, such as arrangement of
north lighting, skylight, roof drainage, construction joints and
expansion joints, etc.
3.2 Before the construction, the builder shall give detailed consideration
to the design and fabrication of formwork and centering. The details
of hrliiwork and the sequence of erection and release of formhork use:1
in shell construction shall be as approved by the designer.
4. DESIGN CONSIDERATiONS
4.1 Slope - Generally, if the slope of the shell exceeds 45”, it will bt,
13Is:2204-1962
too steep for easy concreting and will necessitate the use of backforms
( see Note ).
NOTE -It is the experience of some builders that concreting can be done with-
out the use of backforms up to a slope of 60’ if it is for short distances, and with
cautioas tamping, satisfatitory compaction of concrete even up to a slope of 65O
would be possible without backforms.
4.2 Thickness
4.2.1 The thickness of singly-curved shells shall, in no case, be less
than 5 cm. It is the usual practice to thicken the shells near the edges
and the traverses.
4.2.2 The thickness of shells of double-curvature shall, in no case, be
less than 4 cm. This minimum thickness is adequate, as shells of double
curvature are non-developable and hence are more resistant to buckling.
Moreover, flexural stresses are small.
4.3 End Frames or Traverses - An ‘ end frame ’ or ‘ traverse ’ is provided
to preserve the shape of the shell. It may be a solid diaphragm, an
arch rib, a portal frame or a bowstring girder. Where a clear soffit is
required, especially where travelling formwork is employed, the end
frames may consist of up-stand ribs.
4.4 Reinforcement
4.4.1 The diameter of reinforcement shall not be less than 5 mm in
the unthickened portion of the shell, and shall not be greater than the
following limits:
10 mm dia For shells from 4 cm up to less than
5 cm thick
12 mm dia For shells from 5 cm up to less than
6.5 cm thick
16 mm dia For shells 6.5 cm and over in thick-
ness
4.4.1.1 The maximum diameters specified in 4.4.1 apply only to the
unthickened portion of the shell. Larger diameters for reinforcement
will be permissible subject to the approval by the designer.
4.4.2 The maximum spacing of reinforcement in any direction shall
be limited to five times the thickness of the shell and the area of
unreinforced panel shall in no case exceed 15 d2 where d is the
thickness of the shell.
4.4.3 The total depth occupied by reinforcement in the direction of
thickness in the unthickened portion of the shell shall not exceed three
times the maximum permissible diameter for reinfor ct mcnt 2s specified
in 4.4.1.
14IS:2204-1962
4.5 Mix Proportions for Concrete
4.5.1 Generally, a nominal mix of 1 : 2 : 4 (by nominal volumes ) may
be used for shells of medium dimensions and a nominal mix by volume
of 1 : 14 : 3 for very large shells. In no case shall the nominal mix for
concrete used in shell construction be lower than 1 : 2 : 4. It is, however,
desirable that the required strength for concrete is arrived at from
considerations of stresses in the shell and its elastic stability, and the
mixes specified by strength rather than by nominal volumes. Rich
mixes will be generally undesirable as the concrete shrinks more, giving
rise to cracks.
4.5.2 Wherever feasible, the maximum size of aggregate shall
be 20 mm. If there are difficulties in placing such a concrete, the
maximum size may be restricted to 12 mm provided the requirements
for strength are satisfied.
NOTE - ‘ 20 mm maximum size ’ of eggregste corrwponda to * 12 mm nominal
size ’ according to *IS : 383-1952 Specification for Coarse and Fine Aggregates from
Netural Sources for Concrete.
4.5.3 It is advisable to use an air-entraining agent so that satisfactory
workability is obtained without increasing the water content of the mix.
Concrete having excessive water contents should be avoided as it is
likely to slip down steep slopes.
5. SEQUENCE OF CONSTRUCTION
5.1 Shells may have edge members which are designed to act in unison
with the shells; adjacent shells may also have been designed to take the
loads in unison. For ease and economy of construction, however, it is
generally necessary to construct the various elements separately. In
order that the .final stress pattern in the completed structure may
conform as closely as possible to that assumed by the designer, it is
necessary that the designer should specify the essential conditions
governing the sequence of construction. The actual sequence proposed
by the builder shall be subject to the designer’s approval before construc-
tion starts on any of the elements of the shell structure and this sequence
shall not be varied without the designer’s approval.
5.2 In the type of shell roofs, covered by this standard, the following
sequence of construction may generally be used at preliminary stages of
planning the construction work:

or at the most five in
number in one series
depending on the
deGgner’s require-
ments for expansion
joints. For multiple
shells the stages of
construction will be
the same as those for
single shells. How-
ever, unless otherwise
provided for in the
design, supports

beams, traverses and
shells in one series
shall remain till the
entire series is com-
pleted.
16is : 2204 - 1962
6. FORMWORK
6.1 Smce shape is the essence of shell design and thicknesses are small,
greater care shall be exercised in the tiesign and erection of formwork
. __ . . _ .._. _
and special attention shall be paid to minimizing the differential
settlement of the centering and of the props supporting them. Where
repetitions justify, formwork in panels or mobile units may be
considered. Details for mobile units, if used, shall be worked out by
the builder. If the formwork is to be used a great number of times,
the surface of the forms shall be of firm construction to give the
required repetitions. A hard and smooth surface for the form may
eliminate the need for plastering, thus effecting economy. Where no
additional decorative treatment is to be carried out, the designers may
specify the general pattern to be left on the intrados by the formwork.
6.2 Formwork :Lall be designed and erected in such a manner as to
lend itself to be removable as specified in 11.
7. PLACING OF REINFORCEMENT
7.1 The reinforcement in shell structure including edge members,
traverses, etc, shall be placed as shown in the drawing accompanying
the design. To ensure monolithic connection between shell and the edge
members, the shell reinforcement shall bc adequately anchored into the
edge members or vice versa, by providing suitable bond bars from the
edge members to the shell.
7.1.1 Reinforcement in the Shell- As far as possible, hooks shall be
avoided in the shell and adequate laps or welded joints as specified by
the designer shall be provided in straight lengths. If at all hooks are to
br provided forreinforcement in the shell, they shall be kept parallel to
the plane of the shell. Only the minrmum number of lengthening
joints in the bars shall be used and the joints shall be staggered.
NOTE -Welding ia rarely adopted in the CURBo f reinforcement placed within
the thickness of the shell. However, if it is requi.ed that the reinforcement shall
be welded, only lap welding shall be adopted.
7.1.2 Reinforcement in edge me: Sers may be lapped, welded, or
provided with special couplings with or without welding. If butt
welding is used, it shall be done with extreme caution for successful
results.
7.1.3 Provision of special couplings may be advantageous in edge
members of large spans as it would avoid congestion of bars ( see Note )
due to laps and hooks. In such cases, the details and positioning of
couplings shall be decided by the designer.
NOTIS- The problom of conge&on in reinforcement will, however, become less
serious with the use 19 prostressed conoreta oonatruction.
17IS: 2204-1962
7.2 A minimum cover of 12 mm shall be provided for the reinforce-
ment. For regulating the cover, accurately made and matured precast
mortar or concrete pieces shall be used. The reinforcement shall be
correctly placed and firmly fixed. The reinforcement may be securely
tied or welded so that the spacing of the bars is correctly maintained.
8. MIXING CONCRETE
8.1 The concrete shall be mixed in accordance with the requirements
specified for concrete in*IS : 456-1957 Code of Practice for Plain and
Reinforced Concrete for General Buildin g Construction ( Revised), and
also the special instructions, if any, of the designer.
8.2 Unless otherwise specified by the designer, the maximum size of the
aggregates shall be 20 mm and the aggregate shall conform to
TIS : 383-1952 Specification for Coarse and Fine Aggregates from Natural
Sources for Concrete.
9. CASTING OF THE SHELL
9.1T he full thickness of,the shell shall be concreted in one operation.
The positioning of the construction joints shall be as indicated by the
designer.
The portion of an up-stand member, if any, shall be concreted as
soon as possible after the concreting of the shell.
9.2 Edge members and end frames shall be concreted first. A slump
of 4 cm for the concrete will be sufficient.
9.3 For casting the shell either hand tamping or mechanical compaction
by vibrators may be used. The concrete shall have a slump of not less
than 5 cm, if hand tarnping is used. Concreting may be done in
panels of convenient dimensions and shape. In the case of singly-
curved shells, the panel should be laid parallel to the curved edge
in order to limit the effect of shrinkage; each panel shall be started at
the lowest level and worked upwards. In the case of doubly curved
shells, the arrangement of panels shall be decided by the designer
giving due consideration to shrinkage effects. Mechanical compaction
shall be done by using screed vibrators generally. Needle vibrators may
be used in thickened portions of the shell as advised by the designer;
however, use of needle vibrators shall be restricted to edge members or
thickened portions of the shell where the depth will be sufficient
to accommodate these vibrators.
9.4 Concreting shall preferably be done in the cool hours of the morning
or during the night in summer.
-*Second revision in 1964.
t Since revised.
18Is:22@4-1%2
9.4.1 Special care shall be taken in tamping the concrete in down-
stand stiffening members which are usually deep.
9.5 Concrete shall be finished to the correct curve as set by template.
This may be done either continuously or by alternate-bay method.
9.6 Thickness of the shell shall be regulated by using templates of
corresponding thickness. This thickness of the shell shall also be
accurately checked at typical points in between the thickness guides on
the shell.
9.7 Proper arrangements shall be rr.Jde to avoid displacement of steel
during placing of concrete by providing walkways above the level of the
finished concrete and supported and free from the reinforcement
at intervals so as to avoid disturbance of the reinforcement.
9.8 Construction Joints -Construction joints shall invariably be along
the curve. They shall preferably be located along a line of zero
shear stress, as for example, along the directrix at mid-span. The
construction joints shall be finished in such a way that new concrete
will effectively bond with the old. When the work is commenced the
next day, the joints shall be cleaned with wire brushes and slushed with
cement slurry.
9.9 The surface of the concrete shall be finished vith wooden floats.
9.10 The portions of the shell that are already cast shall be effectively
protected from exposure to sudden rains by means of tarpaulins
and similar coverings.
9.11 When concreting proceeds, cubes of concrete shall be taken out
from each day’s work for purpose of testing and verification of its
quality.
10. CURING
10.1 In a shell roof, the ratio of the exposed area to the volume of
concrete is relatively much larger in comparison with normal reinforced
concrete structures. Hence, extreme care is required in keeping
the surface sufficient!y damp for curing. As soon as concrete has
sufficiently hardened to prevent damage to it, it shall be kept conti-
nuously moist for the first 24 hours by covering the surface with wet
canvas or gunny bags. Thereafter, the surface shall be kept continu-
ously moist for a period of at least 10 days by sprinkling water or
by covering it with gunny bags or similar materials which are sprayed
over with water periodically; alternatively curing compounds may be
used with the approval of the engineer in-charge.ISt2204-1962
11. DECENTERING
11.1 The process of decentering shall be gradual and without shock and
so controlled that the .ovcrall stress pattern in the structure, at any
stage of decentering is reasonably similar to the pattern expected in the
design. Supports of adjacent edge members may have to be lowered
simultaneously with those of the shell. The decentering procedure to
be actually adopted shall be subject to the designer’s approval.
NOTE 1 - As D general guido, the decentering may commenre when concrete has
attained a strength equal to twice the maximum dead load stress multiplied by a
factor equnl to FcjFb, where Fc = ultimate crushing sfrength of concrete, and
Fb = ultimate buck!ing strength of ihe concrete in tho shell.
NOTE 2 - Generally in the absence of test results on cubes, the centering of the
shell may be removed at the end of 14 days, and the decentering the bottom
shuttering of the edge members and the end frames may be done at the end
of 21 days. Uy casting the latter a week in advance of tho shell, it will be
possible to strike the centering of the shell, the edge members and the end frames
on the same day.
12. EXPANSION JOINTS
12.1 Expansion joints shall be provided in accordance with the design
and specification of the designer (see relevant provisions of
IS : 2210-1962 Criteria for the Design of Reinforced Concrete Shell
Structures and Folded Plates ). Complete structural isolation of
the roof members shall be effected at the expansion joints with a clear
gap of not less than 2 cm. It may also be necessary; sometimes,
to have double columns. The gap shall be filled with an elastic filler,
and the waterproofing carried across the joint without a break.
13. LIGHTING AND OTHER FIXTURES
13.1 Skylights, when provided, may be at the crown or on the slope of
the shell very near the crown.
13.2 After completion of shells, no fittings shall be embedded or
suspended from the shell without the approval of the designer.
14. THERMAL INSULATION
14.1 Thermal insulation may be provided by the following methods:
a) By application of light-weight insulating concrete, foam-
concrete, cork, etc, over the shell roof;
b) By providing an air gap between the shell and any rigid form
of waterproofing, such as asbestos sheets;
20I!3:2204-1%2
c) By casting the shell over rigid boards that provide thermal and
acoustic insulation; and
d) By spraying on the underside of the shell a coating of insulating
material, such as asbestos.
14.2 Whatever type of thermal insulation is adopted, the net weight of
the insulation layer shall not exceed that assumed in the design, and the
designer shall always specify this weight.
15. WATERPROOFING
15.1 Waterproofing of shell roofs may be carried out by any of the
following methods or any other accepted method of flexible water-
proofing.
a) By application of bitumen-hessian process, bituminous felts, or
cold bitumen;
b) By lining with aluminium foils; and
c) By lining with asbestos sheets.
1512 Adequate slope for drainage of water shall be made in the
waterproofing.
15.3 Whatever method of waterproofing is adopted, the net weight of the
waterproofing layer shall not exceed that assumed in the design and the
designer shall always specify this weight.
16. FINISHING
16.1 After completion of the shell, the inside may be given a rubbed
finish, if so required. The rubbing may be done with an abrasive
stone.

Therefore, an attempt has been made in this standard to evolve definitions of various terms clearly
and minimize the scope for varied interpretations and use. It is hoped that this standard would
help in adoption of uniform terminology in the country.

PART 1 EARTHWORK EXCAVATION
0. FOREWORD
0.1T his Indian Standard was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution
on 30 August 1985, after the draft finalized by the Cost Analysis and
Cost Estimates Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil
Engineering Division Council.
0.2 Earthwork excavation is encountered in foundation for various struc-
tures such as dams and power houses and in quarries for fill materials
required for earthern dams embankments, etc. Since the quantities are
large and leads and lifts in most cases beyond manual capacity use of
equipment in majority of cases cannot be avoided. In order to estimate
the cost of equipment as components of cost of excavation the output of
equipment has to be estimated. The output of equipment will depend on
various factors, namely, capacity of equipment, working speeds, working
conditions, type of strata, leads and lifts involved, etc.
0.3 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this
standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, expres-
sing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded offin accordance
with IS : 2 - 1960”. The number of significant places retained in the
rounded olff value should be the same as that of the specified value in
this standard.
1. SCOPE
1.1T his standard lays down the norms for various factors involved in
estimating the output of machinery used in earthwork excavation.:
*Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised ).
3IS : 11399 ( Part 1) - 1985
2. SCHEDULED WORKING HOURS
2.1 Scheduled working hours in a year with 200 available working days

Double shift 2 000 ( 25 X 8 x 10)
Three shift 2 500 ( 25 x 8 x 12’5 )
NOTE 1 - Where 200 working days are not available because of peculiar situ-
ation existing on account of location of sites of works, the scheduled working
hours shall be reduced proportionately. Similarly, if more than 200 days are
available the number of hours shall be increased proportionately.
NOTE 2 - For old machines ( after the first overhaul ) scheduled working hours
shall be taken as 80 percent of these given above.

FOREWORD
This Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized
by the Wood Products Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division
Council.
Cement bonded particle board, which is now being manufactured in our country, is made from a
mixture of wood particles and cement. This standard is now formulated to provide necessary
guidance to the manufacturers and users of this product.
In the formulation of this standard, considerable assistance has been derived from the following
standards:
IS0 8335 : 1987 ‘Cement -- bonded particle boards - Boards of Portland or equivalent
cement reinforced with fibrous wood particles’, issued by International Organization for
Standardization.
BS 5669 Part 4 : 1989 <Particle board : Part 4 Specification for cement bonded particle board’,
issued by British Standards Institute.
The committee responsible for the the preparation of this standard is given at Annex B.
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with,
the’final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be
rounded off in accordance with IS 2 : 1960 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised)‘.
The number of significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of
the specified value in this standard.IS 14276 : 1995

Indian Standard
CODE OF PRACTICE FOR
USE OF STEEL IN GRAVITY WATER
TANKS
0. FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard was adopted by the Indian Standards Institu-
tion on 4 November 1968, after the draft finalized by the Structural
Engineering Sectional Committee had been approved by the Structural
and Metals Division Council and the Civil Engineering Division Council.
0.2’ This code lays down the recommended practice for the design, fabri-
cation and erection of steel gravity water tanks, either elevated, or con-
structed on concrete or earthy foundations. It is designed to provide the
user with tanks with adequate safety and reasonable economy which can
be built in any size to meet the required capacity. It was considered not
necessary to include the sizes or capacity of the tanks and the dimensions
and details of the appurtenances.
0.3 Taking into consideration the views of producers and consumers, the
Sectional Committee felt that it should be related to the manufacturing
and trade practices followed in the country in this field. Furthermore,
this consideration led the Sectional Committee to derive assistance from
Specification No. I lA-1938 ’ Gravity water-tanks and steel towers,
Volume I Structural details ’ issued by the Associated Factory Mutual
Fire Insurance Companies, USA.
0.4 This code forms one of a series of codes on use of steel in structures.
Other standard codes in the series are:
IS : 800-1962 Use of structural steel in general building construction
( revised )
IS : 801-1958 Use of cold formed light gauge steel structural members
in general building construction
*IS : 802 ( Part I )-1967 Use of structural steel in overhead transmission
line towers : Part I Loads and permissible stresses
IS : 803-1962 Design, fabrication and erection of vertical mild steel
cylindrical welded oil storage tanks
IS : 804-1967 Rectangular pressed steel tanks (Jht revision )
IS : 806-1968 Use of steel tubes in general building construction
( revised )
*Since revised.
3IS:So5-1968
0.5 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of
this standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated
expressing the result of a test shall be rounded off in accordance with
IS : 2-1960*. The number of significant places retained in the rounded
off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this code.
SECTION I GENERAL
1. SCOPE
I.1 This code covers materials, design, fabrication and testing require-
ments for mild steel gravity ‘water tanks for erection above ground.
2. TERMINOLGGY
2.0 For the purpose of this code, the following definitions shall apply.
2.1 Tank - Tank shall mean an elevated tank,‘a standard $iPe or a
reservoir.
2.2 ‘Elevated Tank - Elevated tank shall mean a container or storage
tank supported on a tower.
2.3 Gapacity - Capacity shall mean the net volume contained between
the level of the overflow and the lowest specified level.
3. MATERIAL
3.1 plates and sections in structural plates and sections used in tank
construction shall comply with IS : 226-1962t or IS : 2062-1962: which-
ever is appropriate.
3.2 Rivet Steel - Rivet, which shall be used in tank construction, shall
conform to IS : 1148-1964s.

be rolled to correct curvature.
23. CAULKING
23.1 Riveted tanks shall be made water-tight by caulking the edges of
the plates with a round rosed tool before painting. Foreign material, such
as lead, copper fillings, cement, etc, shall not be used in the joints.
-24. FITTING ROOFS

28. SHELL PLATES - MATCHING
28.1 At all fillet welds, the lapped plates shall be held in close contact
during welding. Plates in which the vertical joints are to be butt welded
shall be accurately matched and retained in position during welding.
Tack welds may be used to hold the edges in line provided they are
entirely removed so that they do not form a part of the main weld.
28.2 When assembled for welding, corresponding plate edges in butt joints
shall not have an offset from each other at any point in excess of one-
fourth the thickness of the thinnest plate. Bars, jacks, clamps, wedges,
or other appropriate tools may be used to hold the edges to be welded in
line. All shell plates shall be truly cylindrical and plumb, free from local
irregularities.
28.3 If erection bolts are used for ~holding lap joints in line, they shall
be removed before welding and replaced by light tack welds. The holes
for erection bolts, as well as the holes used for lifting the plates into
position, shall be sealed by full-formed rivets having heads seal-welded or by
plugging with weld.
29. SHELL PLATE WELDING
29.1 General - The dimensions and shapes of the edges to be joined
shall be such as to allow thorough fusion and complete penetration. On
butt joints, where the width of the gap at the f&e of the weld is greater
than 12 mm, the weld metal except the .final surface layer shall be peened
to relieve shrinkage stresses. This will improve the effectiveness of the
finished weld.
28.2 The sequence of welding shell plates shall be such that shrinkage
stresses are effectively reduced by accommodating the contraction about
the weld as it cools, thus avoiding rigidity.
30. PAINTING
30.1 The whole of steelwork with the exception of rivets, bolts and nuts and
machined surfaces after being thoroughly cleaned free from rust, loose
scale, dust, etc, shall be given one coat of red lead paint conforming to
IS: 102-1962* unless specified otherwise. All rivets, bolts, nuts and
washers, etc, shall be thoroughly cleaned and dipped in boiled linseed oil.
All machined surfaces shall be well coated with a mixture of white lead
and tallow. Surfaces which are to be held in contact by riveting or bolt-
ing shall be painted before assembly, and the parts brought together while
still wet. Unless specified otherwise, all surfaces inaccessible after rivet-
ing or intermittent welding shall be given two coats of red lead paint
*Sp:cification for ready mixed paint, brushing, red lead, nonsetting, priming ( revised ).
16IS:805- 1969
conforming to IS : 2074-1962* before assembly. Welds and adjacent
parent metal shall not be painted prior to cleaning, inspection and
approval.
31. TESTING
31.1 Tank shell, tank bottom on grillage beams, or large riser shall be
tested by filling with water and constantly inspecting all visible joints
carefully. If any leaks or other defects are discovered, the water level
shall be lowered immediately. Welded joints shall not be tested by
hammering.
31.2 A flat bottom tank on a solid foundation shall be tested after the
lowest ring of the shell, including the circumferential joint at the bottom,
has been completely welded followed by welding of the contraction seams
in the bottom. The outside of the shell should be sealed to the ground
or other foundation with wet clay and then air forced underneath the
bottom until the plates are raised a few inches. A U-tube near the centre
of the bottom is used for the air collection. The seams are tested with
soap solution.
31.3 The inspector may judge the quality of welds by visual inspection
or by chipped out sections with a cold chisel or by having trepanned plugs
removed from welds and etched, and the holes properly repaired.
Rewelding shall be paid for by the purchaser unless the welds are found
defective, in which case all defective welding shall be cut out and replaced
at the expense of the fabricator.
32. REPAIRS
32.1 Repairs of welding by hammering of welded joints shall not be
attempted while the tank is full. Welded joints shall be repaired only
after lowering the water at least 60 cm below the joint to be repaired, or
after completely draining. Repair shall consist of chipping or melting
out of all defective metal and rewelding to give full strength.
32.2 The tank shall be entirely water-tight under test, to the satisfaction
of the inspector, before painting.

Indian Standard
CODE OF PRACTICE FOR
DESIGN OF TUNNELS CONVEYING WATER
PART V STRUCTURAL DESIGN OF CONCRETE LINING
IN SOFT STRATA AND SOILS
0 . F O R E W O R D
0.1 This Indian Standard ( Part V) was adopted by the Indian Standards
Institution on 25 February 1972, after the draft finalized by the Water
Conductor Systems Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil
Engineering Division Council.
0.2 Water conductor system occasionally takes the form of tunnels through
high ground or mountains, in rugged terrain where the cost of surface pipe
line or canal is excessive and elsewhere as convenience and economy
dictates. This standard, which is being published in parts, is intended to
help the engineers in design of tunnels conveying water. This part lays
down the criteria for structural design of concrete lining for tunnels in soft
strata and soils, covering recommended methods of design. However, in
view of the complex nature of the subject, it is not possible to cover each
and every possible situation in the standard and many times a departure
from the practice recommended in this standard may be necessary to meet
the requirements of a project’ and/or site for which discretion of the
designer would be required. Some such situations in which special
investigations will be required are given below:
a) Where swelling and squeezing types of rocks subject to internal
tectonic stresses are met;
b) Where high temperature carbonate formations are met, which
may produce carbon dioxide;
c) Where large variations in formation temperatures exist in
*
different sections of a tunnel; and
d) Where anhydrite formations are met which may show expansion
sometimes about 30 percent of their volume on becoming wet,
0.3 Other parts of this standard are as follows:
Part I General design,
Part II Geometric design,
Part III Hydraulic design,
3$3 : 4880 ( Part V ) - 1972
Part IV Structural design of concrete lining in rock, and
Part VI Tunnel supports.
0.4 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this
standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, express-
ing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with
IS : 2-1960*. The number of significant places retained in the rounded
off values should be the same as that of the specified value in this
standard,
1. SCOPE
1.1 This standard ( Part V) covers the criteria for structural design
of plain and reinforced concrete lining for tunnels and shafts in soft strata
and soils mainly for river valley projects.
NOTE-The provisions may, nevertheless, be used for design of tunnels for roadways,
railways, sewage and water supply schemes! provided that all factors peculiar to such
projects as may affect the design are taken mto consideration.
1.2 This standard, however, does not cover the design of steel and
prestressed concrete lining, the design for concrete lining in swelling and
squeezing rocks subject to internal tectonic stresses and design for seismic
Crces.
2. TERMINOLOGY
2.0 For the purpose of this standard the following definitions shall apply.
2.1 Soft Strata - Strata of rocks which are soft either by their nature,
usually sedimentary and metamorphic or which have become soft due
to alternation and/or shearing, crushing and intensive jointing and which
require supports to be installed within a very short period of excavation,
but which cannot be easily excavated by hand tools.
2.2 Soils - Decomposed and disintegrated rocks which require support
immediately after and/or during excavation and can be excavated by hand,
tools.
2.3 Minimum Excavation Line (A-Line) -A line within .which no
unexcavated material of any kind and no supports other than permanent
structural steel supports shall be permitted to remain.
NOTE -Where due to the nature of strata structural steel supports are essential the
minimum excavation line may be at least 75 mm behind the outer flange of the support
to accommodate permanent lagging and/or primary-concrete.
*Rules for rounding off numerical values (rctisrd).
4IS:4880( Part V). 1972
2.4 Pay Line ( B-Line ) - An assumed line ( beyond A-line ) denoting
mean line to which payment of excavation and concrete lining is made
whether the actual excavation falls inside or outside it.
NOTE- The distance between A and B-lines shall be decided by contracting
authority.
2.5 Primary Lining - A concrete lining laid j&mediately after excava-
tion and installation of steel supports. This may cover the full section
excavated or part section depending on conditions of strata. This may be
plain in situ concrete or precast concrete segment; or cast iron segments
packed with concrete or grout.
2.6 Final Lining - It is the concrete between ‘primary lining and the
finished line of the tunnel.
2.7 Cover- Cover on a tunnel in any direction is the distance from the
tunnel profile to the ground surface in that direction. However, where the
thickness of the overburden is sizable it’s equivalent weight may also be
reckoned provided that the rock cover is more than three times the
diameter of the tunnel.
3. MATERIALS
3.1 Plain and reinforced concw=te shal1 generally conform to IS : 456-1964*.
4. GENERAL
4.1 The design of tunnel linings requires a thorough study of the geology of
the strata to be pierced by the tunnel, the effective cover and a knowledge
of the stress strain characteristics, state of stress, etc. It is recommended
that a critical study of all these factors be made by test borings, drifts, pilot
tunnels or other exploratory techniques. The design of tunnel linings also
requires a critical study of the external and internal loading conditiom,
stresses prior to excavation and their redistribution after excavation, on
account of anisotropy of strata and other variables and indeterminate
factors, the designer should make a reasonable assessment of the loading
conditions taking all the factors into consideration. In Soft strata tunnels,
besides the above data, it is essential for the designer to have a knowledge
of the method of construction which is practicable and economical. The
development of loads, in soft strata, is dependent on the size and shape
of the tunnel and the methods of construction and time lag between
excavation and support. The design should aim at simplicity of
construction.
4.2 It is essential for the designer to have a fairly accurate idea of the
seepage and the presence or absence of ground water under pressure likely
*Code of practice for plain and reinforced concrete ( second rmision ) .
3IS : 4880 ( Part V ) - 1972
to be met with. Where heavy seepage of water is anticipated, the designer
shall make provisions for grouting with cement and/or chemicals or extra
drainage holes and also consider the feasibility of providing steel lining, if
necessary. It is recommended that such designs of alternative use of steel
lining be made with the design of plain-reinforced lining, so that the design
is readily available should the construction personnel require it, when they
meet unanticipated conditions.
4.3 Pressure tunnels with high hydrostatic loads shall have concrete lining
reinforced sufficiently to withstand bursting, where inadequate rock cover
and unstable ground conditions pxzvail. Generally, a pressure tunnel
should have a reinforced lining if the cover is less than the internal pressure
head. In such cases even the provision of a steel plate liner should be
considered. If reinforced concrete ljning is adopted, the stresses in
reinforcement shall be checked to avoid excessive crack width in the
concrete as these may lead to seepage from the tunnel into the strata
endangering its stability. The final choice would, however, be guided by
the geological set up, practicability and economics. The provision of steel
liner shall also be considered where high velocity cavitation or erosion of
the lining is expected due to high velocity of water.
4.4 Detailed structural analysis and model studies shall be made for design
of junctions and transitions for tunnels. Such transitions are difficult to
construct in the restricted working space in tunnels and this aspect shall be
kept in view so that the proposed structures are easy for construction.
4.5 An adequate amount of both longitudinal and circumferential
reinforcement may be provided near the portals of tunnels to resist loads
resulting from loosened rock headings or from sloughing of portal cuts. The
length to which such reinforcement should be provided depends on the
na_ture of the rock ( extent of disintegration, stratification, etc) and the
nature and probable behaviour of the overburden near the portal face.
5. LOADING CONDITIONS
5.1 General - The design shall be based on the most adverse combination
of probable load conditions, but shall include only those loads which have
reasonable probability of simultaneous occurrence.
5.2 Load Conditions - ’The design loading applicable to tunnel linings
shall be classified as normal and extreme design loading conditions.
Design shall be made for normal loading conditions ( see Appendix A ).
The design loading shall be as follows:
a) External Strata Loads ( see 7.7 )
b) Self Load of Lining
c) External Water Pressure
1) .Normal design loading conditions - The maximum loading
obtained from either maximum steady or steady stateIS : 4880-( Part V ) - 1972
condition with loading equal to normal maximum ground
water pressure and no internal pressure, or maximum
difference in levels between hydraulic gradient in the
tunnel, under steady state or static conditions and the
maximum downsurge under normal transient operation.
2) Extreme design loading conditions-Loading e.qual to the
maximum difference in levels between the hydraulic gradient
in the tunnel under static conditions and the maximum
downsurge under extreme transient operation or the
difference between the hydraulic gradient and the tunnel
invert level in case of tunnel empty conditions.
d) Internal Design Water Pressure ( see 7.9 )
1) Normal design loading conditions - Maximum static conditions
corresponding to maximum water level in the head pond,
or loading equal to the difference in levels between the
maximum upsurge occurring under normal transient opera-
tion and the tunnel centre line.
2) Extreme design loading conditions - Loading equal to the differ-
ence between the highest level of hydraulic gradient in
the tunnel under emergency transient operation and the
tunnel centre line.
e) Seismic Forces - See Note.
NOTE -According to the prevailing practice the tunnel lining is not designed
for seismic forces unless the tunnel crosses an active fault in which case some
flexibility is provided at that section to allow for some movement in case of an
earthquake. However, at locations where studies indicate that seismic forces
will be significant they shall be catered for in the design.
5.3 Design Loailing for Shafts - The design loading for the shaft walls
‘shall in general be the external earth and ground water pressures. The
earth pressure will vary according to the material through which the shaft
is excavated and may be computed from the Rankine, Coulomb or slip
circle theories in the same way as for retaining walls. This may be
considered as uniformly distributed along the perimeter of the shaft except
where the material changes in its properties such as in case of steep sloping
rock overlain by overburden in which case the differential pressures should
be suitably reckoned.
5.3.1 If compressed air sinking is applied, force due to this aspect shall
also be taken into account.
5.3.2 If a mantle of thixotropicfluid is uud between the walla of shaft and
the surrounding soil the resulting reduction in the frictional and external
earth pressures with full hydrostatic pressure may be accounted for,
7IS : 4880 ( Part V ) - 1972
5.3.3 The shaft wall shall also be dimensioned against the axial stresses for
tension and bending likely to be encountered during the course of uneven
or sudden sinking.
5.3.4 For preliminary estimating the wall thickness may be assumed to
be equal to about 8 percent of the shaft diameter.
5.3.5 Circular shafts are preferable as the most straight forward. If
other sections ( e.g. rectangular ) are selected for other considerations, they
shall be dealt Ivith as closed frame and corners rounded suitably to reduce
concentration of’stresses. .
5.4 The loading conditions vary from construction stage to operation stage
and from operation stage to maintenance stage. .The design shall be
checked for all Iprobable combinations of loading conditions likely to come
on it during all the above stages.
6. STRESSES
6.1 For design of final concrete lining, the thickness of concrete up to
A-line shall be considered. Concrete placed as primary concrete will be
neglected in the dl:sign and its strength can be less than the strength speci-
fied for the final lining. The stresses, for concrete and reinforcement shall
be in accordance with IS : 456-1964* for design of lining for normal load
conditions and shall be increased by 33-l/3 percent for extreme load
conditions.
7. DESIGN
7.1 The design of concrete lining of tunnel can only be an intelligent
provision for catering to unknown forces and reactions and support
conditions. Until reliable data on behaviour of lining is obtained, it is
recommended to use approximate methods.
7.2 The elastic behaviour ( including flexibility) of the tunnel supports and
the primary lining shall be taken into account while designing the lining.
7.3 Design of steel supports, assisted by primary concrete, shall cater for
external loads that will develop before final lining is placed. The final
lining shall cater for the loads likely to develop after placing of the primary
lining and when the work is in operation.
J.4 While designing the final lining the fact that the primary lining and
the steel support will also participate in resisting the forces, shall be taken
into consideration.
NOTE-To ensure this condition of support the gap between the strata and lining
shall be fully closed by grouting and the rock around the tunnel for a distance of at
least one diameter shall be strengthened by grouting under pressure.
*Code of practice for plain and reinforced concrete (second revision ),
0IS : 4880 ( Part V ) - 1973,
7.5 In the case of granular soils and clays, the external load will be taken
by the steel supports and primary concrete fully. This lining shall be
designed using methods similar to design of culverts on soils. The height
of overburden may be the height as calculated by the formula given in
Appendix B.
NOTE-It is essential that the gap between strata and the support lini;g is fully
backfilled and grouted at a pressure. not exceeding 2 kg/cm* immediately after the
supports and lining are placed,
7.6 The thickness of the lining shall be designed such that the stresses in
it are within permissible limits when the most adverse load conditions
occur. The minimum thickness of the lining will, however, be governed
by requirements of construction. It is recommended that the minimum
thickness of plain concrete lining should be 15 cm for manual placement.
Where mechanical placement is contemplated the thickness. of the lining
at the crown shall be such that the slick line may be easily introduced on
the top of the shutter without being obstructed by steel supports. For a
15 cm slick line a clear space of 18 cm is recommended. For reinforced
concrete lining, a minimum thickness of 30 cm at the crown is recom-
mended, the reinforcement, however, being arranged in the crown to allow
for proper placement of slick line.
7.6.1 For preliminary designs, the thickness of lining may bi assumed
to be 6 cm/m of the finished diameter of the tunnel in the case of sqft
strata and 12 cm/m of finished diameter in the case of soils.
7.6.2 Where structural steel supports are used, they shall be considered
as reinforcement only, if they can be made effective as reinforcement by use
of high tensile bolts/at the joints and/or by proper welding of the joints.
A minimum cover of 15 cm shall be provided over the inner flange of steel
supports and a minimum cover of 8 cm over the reinforcement bars,
7.7 External Loads from Strata - The determination of the magnitude
of the rock load on the supporting structures of the tunnel is a complex
problem. This complexity is due to the inherent difficulty of predicting
the primary stress conditions in the strata ( prior to excavation ), and also
due to the fact that the magnitude of the secondary pressures developing
after the excavation of the cavity, depend on a large number of variables,
such as size of cavity, method of excavation, period of time elapsing before
the strata is supported, the rigidity of supports, deformation modulus of
the surrounding strata, etc.
7.7.1 Secondary external pressure, in general, is understood as the
weight of the mass of strata some height above the tunnel which when left
unsupported would gradually drop out of the roof. This pressure may
develop not only immediately after excavation, but also over period of time
after excavation due to adjustment of displacements, in the strata. The
9 .IS : 4880 ( Part V ) - 1972
loads are carried both by the tunnel lining and the surrounding strata and
this fact shall be considered in design.
7.7.1.1 In the case of granular soils, the loads and side pressures are
influenced by the physicai properties of the soils. In clays, the water content
and plasticity of the clays also affects the pressures on the tunnel linings.
7.7.1.2 In the absence of any data and investigations, it is recommed-
ed that the rock loads may be assumed to be acting as uniformly distributed
loads and the magnitude assumed as indicated in Appendix B.
7.7.2 External Pressure of Water-The lining shall be designed for
external water pressure, if any ( see 5.2 ).
7.7.3 Self Weight of Lining -The lining will be in close contact with the
strata and its weight is distributed over the periphery by frictional forces.
However, the weight shall be considered as a uniformly distributed load
on the invert ( lower half) of the section.
7.7.4 Weight of Water Contained in the Tuntlel- This shall be considered
only for tunnels in soft strata and soils.
7.7.5 Superimposed Live Loads -These do not materially affect the
tunnels in soft strata- \N.+‘re the diameter of the tunnel is small and the
depth of overburden ib large. In case of tunnels where the overburden
is less, full superimposed load on the basis of normal distribution of loads
in foundation strata should be considered in addition to the overburden
loads on the tunnel.
NOTE - It may be said that negligible load is transmitted at a depth of more than
3 times the width of the structure causing the superimposed load.
7.7.6 Side Thrusts or Pressures, Active or Passive - In the case of tunnels
in soft strata, side pressures may exist. The magnitude of these pressures
may be estimated on lines similar to the procedure for soils. In case of
soils the side pressures may be taken as proportional to the vertical press-
ures and may be determined by classical theories of soil mechanics. The
passive pressures will develop only when there is a deformation. In soft
strata and soils, for tunnels constructed with due precautions of grouting
around the periphery ensuring a close contact, the passive pressures may
be relied upon to bring about a re-distribution of loads.
7.8 Since continuous contact is assumed to be established due to grouting,
the strata around and lining both will act and share the loads and deforma-
tions Passive pressures may be assumed to be called into play and
considered in design.
7.8.1 In the case of tunnels in soft strata and soil, the moments and
thrusts may be calculated as indicated in Table 1.
NOTE - The same theory is used for design of culverts.

7.8.2 For non-circular lining, it would be necessary to conduct model
tests to determine the stress distributions. However, the design may be
done assuming uniformly distributed loads as in the case of circular tunnels,
and using the same distribution for passive pressures. The design of such
indeterminate sections may be done by accepted methods and is not covered
by this standard.
7.9 Design for Internal Waterpressure-The design for internal
water pressure shall be done by considering the lining and surrounding
strata, if the strata after grouting is capable of sustaining a part of the
internal pressure as a composite thick cylinder. In such a design, the
primary concrete may be treated as a part of the thick cylinder.
NOTE-This method suffers from uncertainties of external loads, material properties
and indeterminate tectonic forces. In this method the strata surrounding the tunnels
is assumed to have reasonably uniform characteristics and strength and that effective
pressure grouting has been done to validate the assumption that concrete lining and
surrounding strata behave as a composite cylinder. lhe grout fills the cracks and
voids in the strata and thus reduces its ability to deform inelastically and increases the
modulus of deformation. If the grout pressures are high enough to cause sufficient
prestress in the lining the effect of temperature and drying shrinkage and inelastiC
deformation might be completely counteracted,
7.9.1 For analyzing a circular lining the method given in Appendix C
may be adopted. The design shall be such that at no point in the lining
and the surrounding rock the stresses exceed the permissible limits.
NOTE -If the rock is not good, tensile stress in concrete may exceed the allowable
_. limit and in such a case, reinforcement may be provided. Reinforcement, however, is
not capable of reducing the tensile stresses toa considerable extent. By suitable arrange-
ment, it will help to distribute the cracks on the whole periphery in the form of hair
cracks which are not harmful because they may get closed in course of time, or at least
they will not result in serious leakage.
7.9.2 For analyzing non-circular linings, the stress pattern may be
determined by photo-elastic studies.
8. GROUND WATER DRAINAGE HOLES
8.1 Drainage holes may be often provided in other than water conveying
tunnels to relieve external pressure, if any, caused by seepage along the
outside of the tunnel lining. It is recommended that drainage holes may
be spaced at 6-m centres, at intermediate locations between the grout
rings. At successive sections, one vertical hole may be drilled near the
crown alternating with two drilled horizontal holes, one in each side wall.
Drainage holes shall extend to a minimum of 15 cm beyond the back
of the lining or grouted zone. Where suitable, drains encased in suitable
graded material, running along the tunnel may be provided by the sides
of invert lining with provision of weep holes opening into the tunnel.
8.1.1 In free flowing tunnels drainage holes may be provided above the
full supply level. In the case of pressure tunnels, if external water
13IS : 4880 ( Part V ) - 1972
pressure is substantially more than the internal water pressure, drainge
holes may be provided at suitable locations with filters, where necessary, to
prevent washing of mountain material into the tunnel. However, when it
is not possible to prevent washing of the mountain material into the tunnel
drainage holes shall not be provided, if instability is likely to be caused
by such washing.
8.1.2 If conveyance of water is through a free pipe located in a tunnel,
the horizontal drainage holes shall be drilled near the invert.
9. GROUTING
9.1 Backfill Grouting- Backfill grouting shall be done throughout the
length of the concrete lining not earlier than 21 days after the placement
of the concrete lining. Stresses likely to develop in concrete at the specified
grout pressure may be calculated and seen whether they are within
permissible limits depending on the strength attained by concrete by then.
Generally the 21 days strength of concrete is sufficient to withstand normal
grout pressure which may not exceed about 5 kg/cm’.
NOTE-Backfill grouting serves to fill voids and cavities between concrete lining and
the surrounding strata. This is generally found necessary near the crown region and
may generally extend to not more than 60’ angle for circular roof, For flatter arches,
the extent may be more.
9.2 Consolidation Grouting or Pressure Grouting - Pressure grouting
shall be done at a maximum practicable pressure consistent with the strength
of lining and safety against uplift of overburden. The depth of grout
holes shall be as directed.
NOTE 1 -Pressure grouting consolidates the surrounding strata and fills any gaps
caused by shrinkages of concrete. This grouting is normally specified, to improve yield
characteristics and thereby the resistance of strata to carry internal water Pressure. As
a rule of thumb a grout pressure of I.5 times the internal water pressure in the tunnel
may be used subject to the condition that safety against uplift of overburden is ensured.
Grout pressures of upto 5 to 10 times the water pressure in the turn&-have been
used in some cases.
NOTE 2 - It is advantageous to provide a grout curtain by means of Pensive deep
grouting at the reservoir end of the tunnel to reduce heavy seepage of w%ter and thereby
reduce the external water pressure on the lining likely to be developed.
9.3 Grouting shall generally be carried out according to IS: 5878
( Part VII )-1972*.

BASIC CONDITIONS FOR INCLUDING THE EFFECT
OF WATER HAMMER IN THE DESIGN
A-l. GENERAL
A-l.1 The basic conditions for including effect of water hammer in the
design of tunnels or turbine penstock installations are divided into normal
and emergency conditions with suitable factors of safety assigned to each
type of operation.
A-2. NORMAL CONDITIONS OF OPERATIONS
A-2.1 The basic conditions to be considered are,as follows:
a) Turbine penstock iixtallati& may be operated at any head
between the ma?imum and minimum values of forebay water
surface elevation.
b) Turbine gates may be moved at any rate of speed by action of the
governor head up to a predetermined rate, or at a slower rate by
manual control through the auxiliary relay valve.
c) The turbine may be operating at any gate position and be
required to add or drop any or all of ita load.
d) If the turbine penstock installation is equipped with any of the
following pressure controlled devices it will be assumed that these
devices are properly adjusted and function in all manner for
which the equipment is designed:
I) Surge tanks,
2) Relief valves,,
3) Governor control apparatus,
4) Cushioning stroke device, and
5) Any other pressure control device.
e) Unless the actual turbine characteristics are known, the effective
area through the turbine gates during the maximum rate of gate
movement will be taken as a linear relation with reference to time.
f) The water hammer effects shall be computed on the basis of
governor head action for the governor rati: which is actually set
on the turbine for speed regulation. If the relay valve stops are
15IS:4SSO(PartV)-1972
adjusted to give a slower governor setting, than that for which the
governor is designed this shall be determined prior to proceeding
with the design of turbine penstock installation and later adhered
to at the power plant so that an economical basis for designing the
penstock scroll case, etc, under normal operating conditions can
be established.
f3> In those instances, where due to higher reservoir elevation, it is
necessary to set the stops on the main relay valve for a lower rate
of gate movement, water hammer effects will be computed for
this slower rate of gate movement also.
h) The reduction in head at various points along the penstock will
be computed for rate of gate opening which is actually set in the
governor in those cases where it appears that the profi!e of the
penstock is unfavourable. This minimum pressure will then be
used as a basis for normal design of the penstock to insure that
sub-atmospheric pressures will not cause a penstock failure due to
collapse.
3 If a surge is present in the penstock system, the upsurge in the
surge tank will be computed for the maximum reservoir level
condition for the rejection of the turbine flow which corresponds
to the rated output of the generator during the gate traversing
time which is actually set on the governor.
k) The downsurge in the surge tank will be computed for minimum
reservoir leveLcondition for a load addition from speed-no-load to
the full gate position during the gate traversing time which is
actually set on the governor.
A-3. EMERGENCY CONDITIONS
A-3.1 The basic conditions to beconsidered as an emergency operation
are as follows:
a>
The turbine gates may be closed at any time by the action of the
governor head, manual control knob with the main relay valve or
the emergency solenoid device.

L = the length of penstock, and
a = wave velocity.
f > If a surge tank is present in the penstock system, the upsurge in
the tank will be computed for the maximum reservoir head con-
dition for the rejections of full gate turbine flow at the maximum
rate for which the governor is designed. The downsurge in
the surge tank will be computed for the minimum reservoir
head condition for full gate opening from the speed-no-load
position at the maximum rate for which ‘the governor is designed.
In determining the top and bottom elevations of the surge tank
nothing will be added to the upsurge and downsurge for this
emergency condition of operation.
A-4. EMERGENCY CONDITIONS NOT TO BE CONSIDERED AS
A BASIS FOR DESIGN
A-4.1 The other possible emergency conditions of operation are those
during which certain pieces of control are assumed to malfunction in the
most unfavourable manner. The most severe emergency head rise in a
turbine penstock installation occurs from either of the two following
conditions of operation:
a>
Rapid closure of turbine gates in less than -$econds when the
flow of water in the penstock is maximum.
b) Rhythmic opening and closing of the turbine gates when a
4L
complete cycle of gate operation is performed in - seconds.
a
A-4.1.1 Since these conditions of operation require a complete malfunc-
tioning of the governor control apparatus at the most unfavourable
moment, the probability of obtaining this type of operation is exceedingly
remote, Hence the conditions shall not be used as a basis for design.
However, after the design has been established from other considerations it
is desirable that the stresses in the turbine scroll case penstock and
pressure control devices be not in excess of the ultimate bursting strength
or twisting strength of structures for these emergency conditions of
operation.

STRATA LOADS OF TUNNEL LINING b
B-l. SCOPE
B-1.1 This appendix gives several alternative methods for evaluating loads
from strata on tunnel lining,
B-2. LOAQ DISTRIBUTION
B-2.1 The load may be assumed as an equivalent uniformly distributed load
over the tunnel soffit over a span equal to the tunnel width or diameter as
the case may be.
B-3. LOAD
B-3.1 External loads from the strata may be estimated from the data given
in B-3.1.1 to B-3.1.3 for using the appropriate characteristics of the strata.
B-3.1.1 Rock load HP on the roof of support in tunnel with width B and
:lheight Ht, at depth of more than 1.5 (B + Ht ) may be assumed to be
according to Table 2. In case of depths less than 15 ( B + Ha ) full may
be taken.

yeilding support
NOTE 1 - This table has been arrived on the basis of observations and behaviour
of supports in Alpine tunnels where the load was designed mainly for loosening
type of rock and gives conservative values.
Norx2-The roof of the tunnel is assumed to be located below the water table. If
it is located permanently above the water table fhe values given for types 4 to 6 may
be reduced by fifty percent.
NOTE 3 - Some of the most common rock formations contain layers of shale. In an
unweathered state, reai shales are no worse than other stratified rocks. However, the
term shale is often applied to firmly compacted clay sediments which have not yet
acquired the properties of rock. Such SO called shale may behave in the tunnel like
squeezing or even swelling rock.
NOTE 4-If rock formation consists of sequence of horizontal layers of sand-stone or
lime stone and of immature shale, the excavation of the tunnel is commonly associated
with a gradual compression of the rock on both sides of the tunnel, involving a
downward movement of the roof. Furthermore, the relatively low resistance against
slippage at the boundaries between the so called shale and rock is likely to reduce very
considerably the capacity of rock located above the roof to bridge. Hence, in such
rock formations, the roof pressure may be as heavy as in a very blocky and seamy rock.
B-3.1.2 The rock load according to the Russian practice depends upon
the degree of rock firmness. The strength factors after Protodyakonov are
given in Table 3. With cover-depth sufficiently deep for arching action,
19ISr4880( Part V)-1972
the rock load will be defined by the area enclosed by the arch ( SM Fig. 1 )
and assumed to act over the diameter of the tunnel. .
Fm. 1 ,ASSUMED LOAD ON A CIRCWAR CAVITY
The dimensions ot’ the arch may,be obtained from the formulae:
B
h=v
B = b + 2m tan ( 45” - +/2 )
where
f = the strength factor of Protodyakonov (see Table 3),
b = width of tunnel,
m = height of tunnel, and
+ = the angle of repose of the soil.TABLE 3 STRE?IGTH FACTORS

, In the case of circular tunnels, this can be reduced to:
B = d [ 1 + 2 tan ( 45” - $/2 ) ]
B
h=T
where
d = diameter of the tunnel.
The load may be taken as uniformly distributed over the diameter of
the tunnel.
B-3.1.3 For soils and soft rocks, the unit pressure may be assessed by
using Terzaghi’s theory:
B[+d [I
p,= _,4tanqq
2 X tan 4
where
P, = unit pressure due to load;
B = 2[$--+ m tan (45” - $/2 )];
Y = unit weight of overburden ( assume saturated weight if
tunnel is in saturated soil );
C = co-efficient of cohesion;
b = width of tunnel ( diameter for circular tunnel ) ;
m =. height of tunnel ( diameter for circular tunnel );
4 = angle of internal friction;
K = an emperical factor, which increases from 1.0 for H = B,
to I.5 for H = 2.5 B and beyond; and
H = height of overburden above tunnel crown.
B-4. LATERAL PRESSURE
B-4.1 Lateral pressures in soils ma be determined approximately from
earth pressure theory as a product ofy,vertical load and earth pressure co-
efficient. Some pressures noted indicate that lateral pressures may range
from one-fourth to one-third the roof loads.
a> According to Terzaghi a rough estimate of horizontal pressure
ph is given by:
ph = 0.3 Y ( 0.5 m + h, )
22f$ t 4880 ( Part ‘ir ) -‘I974 _
where
Y = density of soil,
m = height of tunnel section, and
h, = height of loosening core representing the roof load.
h) In granular soils and rock debris:
ph = Y H tan2 ( 45” - $/2 )
where
Y = density of soil,
H = height of overburden above tunnel crown, and
+ = angle of internal friction.
c) In cohesive soils the pressure at the crown e1 and pressure at the
invert es may be calculated according to the method* given
below:
e1 = h tan2 (45’ - $/2 ) - 2C tan ( 45” - d/2 )
e8 = ( h + m Y ) tan2 ( 45” - +/2 ) - 2C tan ( 45’ - 9/2 )
where
h = height corresponding to vertical load,
4 = angle of internal friction,
c = cohesion co-emcient,
m = height of tunnel section, and
Y = density of soil.
d) The lateral active pressure may be increased to take into account
the passive resistance developed due to deformation of the lining.

FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian S andard was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution
op 31 rVrgrch 196 ! , after the draft finalized by the Structural Engineering
Sectibnal Committee ad been approved by the Structural and Metals
Division Council and h ivil E&ncering Division Council.
0.2 Pressed mild steel tanks have come into h9e to a large extetxt beeatise of
their ease in erection, facility in transport, standard construction, ease in
dismantling and re-erection.
0.3 Thii standard was first published in 1958. In this first revision dimensions
have been metricised, and brought in line with IS : 1730-1962*, reference to
relevant Indian Standards for materi& have been included and erection
clauses have been modified suitably.
0.4 The Sectional Committee responsible for the preparation of this standard
has taken into consideration the views of the manufacturers, consumers and
technologists a$ has related this standard to the prevailing manufacturing
and trade practices followed in the country in this field. Furthermore due
consideration was also given to the need for international co-ordination with
standards being followed in the various countries of the world. This
consideration has led the Sectional Committee to derive assistance from
B.S. 1564 : 1949 Pressed steel sectional tanks ( rectangular ), issued by the
British Standards Institution.
0.5 This standard contains clauses 5.3, 6.3.2 and 8.4 which call for agree-
ment between pruchaser and manufacturer; clauses. 7.5, 7.9.1 and 12.1
permit the purchaser to use his option to suit his requirements; and Appendix
A gives detailed information to be supplied by the purchaser to the manu-
facturer to facilitate manufacture and supply of steel tanks to exact require-
ments.
0.6 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this
code is coinplied with, the fuml value, observed or calculated, expressing
the result of a test, shall be rounded off in accordance with IS : 2-196Ot.

The number of significant places retained in the rounded off value should be
the same as that of the specified value in this standard.
1. SCOPE
1.1 This specification lays down the requirements for the materials, fabrica-
tion, erection and supply of rectangular pressed steel tanks used for the
storage of cold and hot water and certain other liquids under pressure not
greater than the static head corresponding to the depth of the tank.
1.2 This specification does not cover the requirements of tanks storing
liquids having temperature higher than lOO”C, or those tanks subject to
earth or other external pressures besides wind pressure.
2. TERMINOLOGY
2.0 For the purpose of this specification, the following definitions shall apply.
2.1 Cold Water or Liquid - Water or liquid at a temperature not exceed-
ing 40°C.
2.2 Hot Water or Liquid - Water or liquid at a temperature above
4O”C, but not exceeding 100°C.
3. TYPES
3.1 Pressed steel tanks are of the following three types:
Type 1 Tanks with all flanges external ( see Fig. 1 )
Type 2 Tanks with all flanges internal
Type 3 Tanks with bottom flanges internal and side flanges external
3.1.1 Each of the above types may be either with open top or with covered
top.
4. GENERAL
4.1 Pressed steel tanks are not recommended for depths greater than 5 m.
4.2 Type 1 tanks are normally used where a plain internal surface is necessary
or where there are no restrictions as to external access or where the exterior
of the tank is to be lagged.
4.3 Type 2 tanks are normally used at a location where access to the exterior
for erection is precluded due to insufficient space inside a building.
4steel cleats

7. FABRICATION
7.1 The plates shall be heated uniformly in a furnace and formed in a
press, each of which shall be capable of taking the whole plate at one time,
Alternatively, the plates may be pressed cold, the flanges made by V die
and the corners welded provided no cracks develop. Re-drawing of plates to
bring the same to the specified dimensions shall not be permitted. The
flanges of the plates shall be pressed square or partly square and partly
at an angle of 45“ to the face of the plate or all 45” to the face of the plate
( see Fig. 2, 3 and 4 ). All steel plates, bars and stays shall be carefully
levelled and straightened according to the approved methods such as
hammering before and after they are being punched or drilled if considered
necessary by the inspector. The width of the flanges shall be suitable for
the connecting bolts used. They shall have holes accurately drilled or
punched in jigs so that the bolt holes are alignable and interchangeable with
those of any other matching flange. The spacing of the bolt holes in the
flanges shall not exceed 80 mm. For 1.25 m cubic tanks the diameter of
bolts should be 12 mm excepting for the roof where it may be up to 10 mm
diameter ( alternatively 8 mm with the maximum spacing of 55 mm includ-
ing for the roof ). For other tanks the diameter of bolts should normally
be 14 mm or over excepting at the roof where it may be up to 12 mm.
If any other arrangement for the size of flange, diameter of the bolt and
spacing of the bolt is desirable these shall be as agreed to between the
purchaser and the manufacturer. Wherever necessary the flange bolts
should be fitted with washers under nut.

of the plate ( see Fig. 5 to 9 ). When double connections are to be provided
in the pads the studs shall be staggered on opposite faces.
7.6 Inlet pipes and the overflow pipe, if arranged through the bottom of the
tank only, shall be of bell mouth type.
7.7 Where connections are welded to the tank as well as where the corners
are welded, the welding shall be done by the metal arc process in accordance
with IS : 8 16- 19567. The plates and connections shall be prepared with care,
and fusion faces shall be reasonably free from rust, paint or other foreign
matter. Where the plates are cut, edges shall be dressed smooth. Pads shall
be in fair contact with the plates before the welding is resorted to. All
welds should be made in the down hand position. The size of the welds
shall conform to those shown in Fig. 5 to 9. The surfaces of the welds bhall
be even, free from cracks or blow holes. The welds shall be completely
fused to the parent metal without undercut.

METHODS OF TEST FOR SOILS
PART II DETERMINATION OF WATER CONTENT
( Second Revision )
0. FOREWORD
0.1T his Indian Standard ( Part II ) ( Second Revision ) was adopted by
the Indian Standards Institution on 22 March 1973, after the draft finalized
by the Soil Engineering Sectional Committee had been approved by the
Civil Engineering Division Council.
0.2 With a view to establish uniform procedures for the determination of
different characteristics of soils and also for facilitating comparative
studies of the results, the Indian Standards Institution is bringing out this
Indian Standard methods of test for soils ( IS : 2720 ) which will be
published in parts.
0.3 This part was first published in 1964 and revised in 1969 to
include two rapid field methods for the determination of water content
in soils. In this second revision, rapid determination of water content
with infra-red lamp torsion balance moisture meter and rapid deter-
mination of water content from the gas pressure developed by the reaction
of calcium carbide with the free water content of the soil have been
included.
0.4 In the formulation of this standard due weightage has been given to
international co-ordination among the standards and practices prevailing
in different countries in addition to relating it to the practices in the field
in this country.
0.5 In reporting the result of a test or. analysis made in accordance with
this standard, if the final value, observed or calculated, is to be rounded
off, it shall’be done in accordance with IS :2 -1960*.
SECTION I OVEN-DRYING METHOD(STANDARD METHOD)
1. SCOPE
1.1 This method covers the determinatiqn of water content of soils
expressed as a percentage of the oven-.dry weight.

2. TERMINOLOGY
2.0 For the purpose of this standard, the definitions given in IS : 2809-1972*
shall apply.
3. APPARATUS
3.1 container - Any suitable non-corrodible air-tight container.
3.2 Balance -of sufficient sensitivity to weigh the soil sam les to an
accuracy of 0.04 percent of the weight of the soil taken PQ r the test
(see 4.1).
3.3 Oven - thermostatically controlled, with interior of non-corroding
material to maintain the temperature at 110 f 5°C.
3.4 Desiccator -A desiccator with any suitable desiccating agent.
4. SOIL SPECIMEN
4.1 The soil specimen taken shall be representative of the soil mass. The
size of the specimen selected depends on the quantity required for good
representation, which is influenced by the gradation and the maximum
size of particles, and on the accuracy of v?-eighing. The following quanti-
ties are recommended for general laboratory use:

and weigh with lid ( W, ). Th en keep it in an oven with the lid removed,
and maintain the temperature of the oven at 110 f 5°C ( see Note ). Dry
the specimen in the oven for 24 h. Every.time the container is taken out
for weighing. Replace the lid on the container and cool the container in
a desiccator. Record the final mass ( W,) of the container with lid with
dried soil sample.
NOTE- Oven-drying at 110 f 5°C does not result in reliable water contenr values
for soil containing gypsum or other minkrals having loosely bound water of hydration
or for soil containing significant amounts of organic material. Reliable water content
values for these soils can be obtained by drying in an oven at approximately 60 to 80°C.
6. CALCULATION
6.1 The percent of water content shall be calculated as follows:
w-s w ?
W_ x 100
ws - W,
where
w = water content percent,
Ws = mass of container with lid with wet soil ing,
r/jr,= mass of container with lid with dry soil in g, and
WI = mass of container with lid in g.
7. REPORT
7.1 The water content ( w ) of the soil shall be reported to two significant
figures.
7.2 The results of the test shall be suitably recorded. A recommended
~0 forma for this record is given in Appendix A.
SECTION 2 SAND-BATH METHOD (SUBSIDIARY METHOD)
8. SCOPE
6.1 This method covers the determination of the water content of a soil as
a percentage of its dry mass. It is intended as a rapid alternative to the
method given in Section 1 but is less accurate and more suitable as a field
test. The method shall not be used if it is suspected that the soil contains
a large proportion of gypsum calcareous matter or organic matter.
9. APPARATUS
9.1 &nt.&sw + any suitable non-corrodible air-tight container,
5IS : 2720 ( Part II ) - 1973
9.2 Heat-Resistant Tray - of suitable metal and about 5 to 7 cm deep.

accuracy of 0.4 percent of the mass of the soil taken for the test.
9.4 Sand-Bath - of suitable size and containing clean sand to a depth of
at least 3 cm.
9.5 Equipment for Heating the Sand-Bath -kerosene stove or spirit
lamp.
9.6 Palette Knife or Steel Spatula - a convenient size is one having a
blade 10 dm long and 2 cm wide.
9.7 scoop- a convenient size is one about 20 cm long and 10 cm wide.
10. SOIL SPECIMEN
10.1 The mass of soil specimen taken for the test shall be in accordance
with 4.1.
11. PROCEDURE
11.1 Clean the container with lid or the tray, as the case may be, dry and
weigh ( W, ). Take the required quantity of the soil specimen in the
container crumbled and placed loosely and weigh ( lJ’% ). Add a few
pieces .of white paper if necessary ( see Note). Place the container with
the lid removed or the tray on the sand-bath and heat the sand-bath.
Care shall be taken not to get the sand-bath too hot. During heating, the
specimen shall be turned frequently and thoroughly with the palette knife
to assist the evaporation of water, care being taken to see that no soil is
lost in the process; Dry the specimen to constant mass indicated by the
difference between two consecutive masses of the container with lid or the
tray with the dried specimen taken at suitable intervals after initial drying,
being a maximum of 0.1 percent of the original mass of the soil specimen.
When drying is complete, remove the container or the tray from the sand-
bath, ,cool and weigh ( H’s). The container should be weighed with lid.
NOTE- Avoid overheating. A convenient method of detecting overheating of the
soil is by the use of small pieces of white paper mixed with the soil. Overheating
is indicated if the paper turns brown.
12. CALCULATION
12.1 The percentage of water content shall be calculated as follows:

other tests.
17. PROCEDURE
17.1 Clean the evaporating dish, dry and weigh ( WI). Take the required
quantity of the soil specimen in the evaporating dish and weigh ( &).
Pour over the soil methylated spirit at the rate of about one millilitre for
every gram of soil taken so that the soil is well covered. Work the methy-
lated spirit well into the soil with the palette knife and break up any large
lumps of soil. Place the evaporating dish on a surface which will not be
affected by heat and ignite the methylated spirit. Stir the soil constantly
with the spatula or knife, care being taken to see that none of the soil is
lost. After the methylated spirit has burnt away completely allow the
dish to cool and weigh it with the contents ( W,).

SECTION 4 RAPID DETERMINATION OF WATER
CONTENT WITH INFRA-RED LAMP TORSION
BALANCE MOISTURE METER
20. SCOPE
20.1 This section describes a method for rapid determination of water
content of soils employing a device providing infra-red lamp for drying
and torsion balance for getting of percentage of water on wet basis from a
scale, and the results obtained are convertible to water content on dry
basis.
NOTE - The water estimation with this method takes 15 to 30 min depending upon
the type of soil and quantity of water present. Plastic soils might take about 30 min.
The reproducibility of readings is within *to25 percent. The probable error is
about * 0.3 percent water content in case of grahular soils and about 0.8 to 1 per-
celit in case of clays.
21. APPARATUS
21.1 Infra-red Lamp and Torsion Balance Moisture Meter-The
moisture meter is illustrated in its essential details in Fig. 1 and 2.
21.1.1 The equipment should be of two main parts, the infra-red lamp,
and the torsion balance. The infra-red radiation should be provided by
250 watt lamp built in the balance for use with an alternating current
220-230 V, 50 cycle, single phase mains supply. Provision should be made
to adjust the input voltage to the infra-red lamp to control the heat for
drying of specimen. A suitable thermometer graduated from 40 to 150”~
should be provided for ascertaining the temperature of drying in the pan
housing. The weighing mechanism, a torsion balance, should have a
built in magnetic damper. The.balance scale should be divided in terms
of water percentages, from 1 to 100 percent water content in 0.2 percent
divisions.
21.2 Palette Knife or Steel Spatula - having a blade 10 cm long and
2 cm wide.
22. SOIL SPECIMEN
22.1 The soil specimen taken shall be representative of the soil mass. The
specimen should weigh 25 g. As this moisture. meter is calibrated to use
25 g of soil, the maximum size of particle present in the specimen shall be
less than 2 mm.
23. PROCEDURE
23.1 Keep the test samples always in suitable containers so that the water
content to be determined is not affected by ambient conditions.

23.2 Set the 100 percent scale division of the cahbrated drum to align
with the index mark with the help of drum drive knob.
23.3 With the pan placed on the pivot, check that the pointer is aligned
with the index line and the 100 percent scale division. If not, set the
pointer with the help of initial setting knob.
23.4 Rotate the drum drive knob anti-clockwise and bring the 0 percent
scale division in line with the index mark, thus prestressing the wire
through an amount equal to 100 percent ( this represents the amount of
unbalance ). The pointer will now be above the index mark.
23.3 Raise the lamp housing and carefully distribute the test material
evenly on the sample pan until the pointer returns to the’index mark
( approximately 25 g of the material will be needed in one operation ).
23.6 Lower the lamp housing and switch on the infra-red lamp with the
help of the switch provided on the left-hand side. Insert the thermometer
‘in its socket and bracket. Adjust the variac control knob between 95 and
100 on the scale ,if it is desired that the temperature of drying is around
11O’C. The sample will now begin to lose water and the pointer will
rise above the index.
NOTE -Keep a watch on the columu of mercury on the thermometer when the
thermometer records a temperature of 105*C, control the variac in such a manner that
there is no more rise in the temperature beyond 110% and the temperature in the
housing is maintained at 110 * 5’C. If for a particular sample, the temperature is to
be higher or lower than 1 lO”C, the variac control knob can be adjusted accordingly.
23.7 To determine the percentage reduction of mass at any instant, rotate
the drum scale by turning the drum drive knob until the pointer returns
to the index. Read the percentage directly from the scale. The percent
water which is read from the scale is the percent water based upon the
initial mass of the sample, that is, the wet mass of the sample.
23.8 The criterion for taking the final reading is that the pointer should
remain steady on the index mark which shows that the sample has dried
to constant mass. Note the drum scale reading against the pointer which
is the percent water on the total mass taken. Remove the thermometer
from its bracket.
23.9 Repeat steps 23.1 to 23.8 with a fresh sample using a cool and clean
pan.
24. CALCULATION

SECTION 5 RAPID DETERMINATION OF WATER
CONTENT FROM THE GAS PRESSURE DEVELOPED
BY THE REACTION OF CALCIUM CARBIDE
WITH THE FREE WATER OF THE SOIL
25. SCOPE
25.1 This section describes a method for rapid determination of water
content from the gas pressure developed by the reaction of calcium car-
bide with the free water of the soil. From the calibrated scale of the
pressure gauge the percentage of water on total ( wet ) mass of soil is
obtained and the same is converted to water content on dry mass of soil.
26. APPARATUS
26.1 Metallic Pressure Vessel - with clamp for sealing cup, and a
gauge calibrated in percentage water content ( see Fig. 3 ).
26.2 Counterpoised Balance - for weighing sample as shown in Fig. 3.
26.3 Scoop - for measuring absorbent ( calcium carbide ).
26.4 One Bottle of the Absorbent ( Calcium Carbide )
26.5 One Cleaning Brush
26.6 Steel Balls - three steel balls of about 12.5 mm diameter and one
steel ball of 25 mm diameter.
27. SOIL SPECIMEN
27.1 Sand requires no special preparation. Coarse powders may be
ground and pulverized. Cohesive and plastic soils and material are tested
with addition of stee1 balls in the pressure vessels. This test requires about
6 g of.soil sample.
28. TEST PROCEDURE
28.1 Set up the balance. Place sample in pan till the mark on the balance
arm mass lines up with the index mark.
28.2 Unclamp the clamping screw of the instrument sufficiently to move
the U-clamp off the cup. Lift off the cup. Check that cup and body are
clean; otherwise clean it using a brush.
28.3 Hold the body horizontal and gently deposit one level scoopful of
absorbent ( calcium carbide ) halfway inside the chamber. Then lay the
chamber down without disturbing the absorbent charge. Transfer theIS : 2720 ( Part II ) - 1973

soil weighed out as above from the pan to the cup. Holding cup and
chamber approximately horizontal bring them together without disturb-
ing sample or absorbent, bring the U-clamp round and clamp the cup
tightly into place.
Nore - If th’es ample is bulky reverse the above placements, that is, put the sample in
the chamber and the absorbent in the cup. In the case of clayey soils and pastes, place
the 3 smaller steel balls in the cup along with the sample and larger one in the body
along with the absorbent.
28.4 With gauge downwards ( except when the steel balls are used ) shake
the moisture meter up and down vigorously for 5 seconds, then quickly
turn it so that the gauge is upwards, give a tap to the body of the moisture
meter to ensure that all the contents fall into the cup. Hold the rapid
14IS : 2720 ( Part II ) - 1973
moisture meter downwards, again shake for 5 seconds, then turn it with
gauge upwards and tap. Hold for one minute. Repeat this for a third time.
Once more invert the rapid moisture meter and shake up and down to
cool the gas. Turn the rapid moisture meter with the gauge upwards and
dial horizontal held at chest height. When the needle comes to rest take
the reading. The readings on the meter are the percentages of water on
the wet mass basis.
NOTE -When steel balls are used place the 3 smaller balls in the cup along with
the soil and the larger one in the body along with the absorbent mdseal up the unit
as usual. Hold the rapid moisture meter vertical so that the material in the cup falls
into the body. Now holding the unit horizontal rotate it for 10 seconds so that the
balls are rolled round the Inside circumference of the body. Rest for 20 seconds.
Repeat the rotation-rest cycle until the gauge reading is constant (usually this takes
4 to 8 min ). Note the reading as usual.
28.5 Finally release the pressure slowly ( away from the operator ) by
opening the clamp screw and taking the cup out, empty the contents and
clean the instrument with a brush.
29. CALCULATION
29.1 From the water content ( m ) obtained on the wet mass basis as the
reading on the rapid moisture meter, the water content ( w ) on the dry
mass basis shall be calculated as follows:
w = ( lOOm_ m ) X 100 percent
NOTE -The absorbent is highly susceptible to absorption of moisture and SO shall
not be exposed to atmosphere; as a result the absorbent suffers deterioration and will
give results on the lower side. Replace the lid of the absorbent container firmly as soon
as the required, amount of the absorbent for a test is taken from the bottle. The absor-
bent suffers deterioration with time.

CODE OF PRACTICE FOR
PLUMBING IN MULTI-STOREYED BUILDINGS
PART 1 WATER SUPPLY
0. FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards
on 30 July 1987, after the draft finalized by the Water Supply and Sanita-
tion Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering
Division Council.
~0.2 Many administrative authorities controlling water supply have their
own set3 of bye-laws, rules and regulations for water supply to suit local
conditions. These should be strictly conformed to before operations are
commenced for laying pipe lines or plumbing systems which are to be con-
nected to public water supply. This code is intended to give the necessary
guidance on good practices of plumbing.
0.3 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this
standard is complied with, the final value, observed (or calculated, express-
ing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with
IS : 2-1960*. The number of significant places retained in the rounded off
value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.
1. SCOPE
1.1 This code deals with water supply in multi-storeyed buildings and
covers general requirements and regulations, design considerations, plumb-
ing systems, distribution system, storage of water and inspection for water
supply in multi-storeyed buildings.
1.2 Requirements of water piping, fittings and appliances, inspection, and
maintenance covered in IS : 2065-1983t shall be applicable for multi-
storeyed buildings also.
*Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised !.
tCode of practice for water supply in buildings ( second revision ) .

2. EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION
2.1 Full coordination at thr planning stage between the architrcts, owners,
civil cnginccr. contractor and electrical contractor is csscntial. Provision for
space-s for pipe runs, due-ts, tanks, pumping systems andothcr rlrmen(s shall
be made in advance so as to prevent any overlapping with olher services of
the building.
2.2 All pipe runs, apprutcnanccs and valves shall be located in a manner to
provide easy access for maintenance and repair.
2.3 All information regarding additional load on structures for water tanks
ctc, shall be given to (he structural engineer for incorporation in the SWW-
tural design.
2.4 Data for designing the clcctrical and mechanical system shall be given
to the concerned engineer.
2.5 Ir. :I lllation plans for record purposes shall be provided on completion
of the installation.
3. ESTIMATION OF WATER SUPPLY DEMAND
3.1 Demand of water supply in each type building is not accurately deter-
minable due to various factors, for example, type of building, usage,
economic conditions of users, hours of supply and climatic conditions.
3.2 The requirement of water for different types of buildings is given in
IS : 1172-1~983. These requirements are minimum recommended and care
should be taken to study each project in accordance with circumstanca
applicable and the requirement of water estimated accordingly.
3.3 Provision shall be made for additional quantities of water required for
special uses, for rxample, air-conditioning system, gardening, for process
or laboratory use. For requirements regarding water supply for fire fighting
reference may be made to IS : 9668-1980t.
3.4 Provision for additional water supply for any future expansion in the
building shall be made.
3.5 Population Projection - Projection of population for each building
shall be made on the basis of its usage. Population for each type of build-
ing shall be estimated on the basis of mformation obtained from the usen.
Alternatively, population may be worked on the following basis for different
type of buildings:
a) Residence 5 persons per dwelling unit area
b) Offices 1 person/l0 to 15 m* of plinth area

4. DESIGN CONSIDERATION
4.1 Piping systems shall be designed to cater for various types of fixtures as
given in Table 1.

*Concentrated use.
4.2 For ease of designing and working out the probable simultaneous
demand ( see 4.4 ), each fixtures has been given a fixture unit ( FU ). Fixture
units have no precise unit in terms of litreslsecond but are based on the
rate of flow for each unit and average time of use for each fixture.
4.3 The fixture units are based on and used on a piping system which has
a common down take.
518 t 12183 ( Part 1 ) - 1987
4.4 Simultaneous Demand
4.4.1 The probability of all taps being open silt\ultancously except in a
small group of fixtures is rcmotc. In order to work out the probable
demand, a study of each work shall be m;tdc to ascertain tt)c type of
building, periods of water usage, etc.
4.4.2 Where water is supplied 24 hours a day without interruption,
the probable demand would bc xninimum. lt would be maximum, if the
hours of supply arc Icast.
4.4.3 Simultaneous demand could be I(!0 pcrccnt of the gross demand
in certain cases, for cxampic, showers and toilets in stadium, gymnasiums,
swimming pool, students hostels, industrial and oflice wash rooms and
similar other establishments where the water usage could be concentrated
during a short period.
4.4.4 Probable simultaneous demand may also be worked out by the
relation:
VI= G-
where m Is the probable number of appliances in use and n is the total
number of appliances installed.
4.4.5 Figure 1 gives a chart from which the probable demand in litrcs
per second may be worked out by adding the number of fixture units ins-
talled on each line.
4.4.6 Crrtain type of fixtures and connections, for cxamplc, urinals or
connrctiorrs to cooling tower of air-conditioning systems required a conti-
nuous flow of w;ttcr throllghout their period of use. Load of this type of
use should be added after the probable demand in a line has been
-calculated.
4.5 Outlet Pressure - Prvssurc at each outlet shall be enough to ovcr-
come the frictional losses through the fixture and provide the desire flow.
( see IS : 2065-19835 ),
5. SOURCE OF SUPPLY
5.1 Before planning the water supply system source(s) of water supply
should be identified and established.
‘c
5.2 The source of supply may be any one or more of the following:
a) Municipal filtered water supply from nl;lins xunnillg near the
premises.
b) Sub-soil sources such as open well and tul)c\\c,lls.
c) Surface such as Iakcs, rivers or canals.

6. DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
6.1 There are four basic methods of distribution of water lo a muhi-
storeyed buildings.
6.1.1 Direct supply from mains to ablutionary taps and kitchen with
WCs and urinals supplied by overhead tanks.
6.1.2 Direct Pumping SysIems
6.1.3 Hydra-pncuma!ic Systems
6.1.4 Oucrhead Tanks Distribution
6.2 Direct Supply System - This system is adopted when adequate
pressure is available round the clock at the topmost floor. With limited
pressure available in most city mains, water from direct supply is normally
not available above two or three floors. This system is covered in
IS : 2065-1983*. +
6.3 Direct Pumping
6.3.1 Water is pumped directly into the distribution system without the
aid of any overhead tank, except for flushing purposes. The pumps are
controlled by a prrssure switch installed on the line. Normally a jockey
pump of smaller capacity installed which meets the demand of water
*Code of practict* for water supply in buildings ( mend rmision ).
8IS I 12183 ( Part 1 )- 1987
during low consumption and the main pump starts when the demand is
greater. Thr start and stop operations are accomplished by a set if pressure
switches arc installed directly on the line. Ln some installation, a timer
switch is installed to restrict the operating cycle of the pump.
6.3.2 Direct pumping systems are suitable for buildings where a certain
amount of constant use of water is always occurring. These buildings arc
all centrally air-conditioned buildings for which a constant make up-supply
for air-conditioning cooling towers is required.
6.3.3 The system depends on a constant and reliable supply of power.
Any failure in the power system would result in a breakdown in the water
supply system.
6.3.4 The system eliminates the requirements of overhead tanks for
domestic purposes ( except for flushing ) and requires minimum space
( see Fig. 2 ).
6.4 Hydro-pneumatic Systems
6.4.1 Hydro-pneumatic system is a variation of direct pumping system.
An air-tight pressure vessel is installed on the line to regulate the opera-
tion of the pumps. The vessel is arranged to consist of approximately half
the capacity of waler. As pumps operate, the incoming water in the vessel,’
compresses the air on top. When a predetermined pressure is reached in
the vessel, a pressure switch installed on the vessel switches off the pumps.
As water is drawn into the system, pressure falls into the vessel starting
the pump at preset pressure. The air in the pressure tank slowly reduces
in volume due to dissolution in water and leakages from pipe lines. An air
compressor is also necessary to feed air into the vessel so as to maintain
the required air-water ratio.
6.4.2 There are various types of system available in the market and
the designers has to select the system according to the needs of each
application.
6.4.3 Hydro-pneumatic system generally eliminates the need for an over
head tank and may supply water at a much higher pressure than availa-
ble from overhead tanks particularly on the upper floors, resulting in even
distribution of water at all floors ( see Fig. 3 ).
6.5 Overhead Tank Distribution
6.5.1 This is the most common of the distribution systems adopted by
various type of buildings.
6.5;2 The system comprises pumping water to one or more overhead
tanks placed at the top most location of the hydraulic zone.

7. DESIGN OF DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
7.1 Distribution system in a multi-storeyed building should be designed to
provide ( as far as practically possible ) equitable flow and pressure at all
the floors.

7.2 Care should be taken to obtain the flow required for the minimum
pressure at all parts in the building.
7.3 Excessively high pressure should be avoided on every floor.
7.4 In tall buildings, the building should be divided in vertical hydraulic
zones so that the static pressure in any zone does not exceed 24-30 m
( see Fig. 5 ).

7.5 Wherever static zones are necessary, water shall be supplied to each
zone from an overhead tank located at least 3 m above the zone.
13IS I 12183 ( Part 1 ) - 1987
7.6 In buildings where division of the building in vertical zones is not
practical or -possible, supply from each riser or drop should be restricted to
a maximum of 8- 10 floors so as to restrict the maximum static head to
30 m. Alternatively, pressure in the lower floors may be restricted by use
of pressure reducing values, orifice flanges or other similar devices.
7.7 Designing of the Piping System
7.7.1 Designing of the piping system should be done by considering the
pressure loss at each level and head available at that level for the required
flow.
7.7.2 It is recommended that the velocity of water in pipes should be
restricted to 2.0 m/s to avoid noise problem.
7.7.3 Systems connected to hydro-pneumatic or direct pumping systems
should be provided with suitable air chambers for protection against water
hammer and noise problems ( see Fig. 6 ).

or at coiling level should be provide-d p. .
7.7.5 Provision for expansion in pipe lines in the building structure
should be made.
7.7.6 Pipes should be designed to withstand the additional pressure due.
to water hammer.
8. STORAGE CAPACITIES
8.1 The quantity of water to be stored shall be calculated taking into
account the following factors:
a) Hours of supply at sufficiently high pressure to fill up the over-
head tanks. ( in case of direct supply systems ) or underground
storage reserviors;
b) Frequency of replenishment of overhead tank during 24 hours;
c) Rate and regularity of supply; and
d) Consequences of exhditsting the ‘storage, particularly in buildings
like hospitals.
8.2 When a single supply is provided, it is not necessary for health ,reasonsa
to have separate storage for flushing and domestic requirements. The
storage tank shall, however, not be connected directly with the supply pipe
of the authority.
8.3 Dual Supply
a) Wherever two separate types of supply are being used, for exam-
ple, municipal supply and tubewell supply, it is advisable to have
their pumping and rising main system separate and independent
of each other.
c) Wherever systems using recycled treated water is used in a
.building for flushing or air-conditioning purposes, the entire
system of storage, pumping, rising main and distribution system
shall be separate and independent of the domestic supply
system.
8.4 Underground Storage - The storage capacity of water for a building
should be provided for one day requirement of water and the storage
capacity of underground tanks should be 50 percent of overhead tanks.
Where direct pump or hydro-pneumatic systems are provided to
avoid the overhead tanks, the capacity of the underground tanks should be
for 24 hours requirement.

8.5 The requirement for flushing may be taken as one- third of the total
requirement and two-third for domestic requirement.
8.6 The above requirement of storage do not include requirements-of’ water
for air-conditioning systems or fire fighting.
8.7 Undcrgroand/Saction Tamklr
8.7.1 General
a) Any pumping system adopted should be accomplished through a
suction tank located near the pumps.
b) As far as possible, flooded suction conditions are desirable as it
improves the working conditions of the pumps.
c) Wherever suction conditions are negative, care should be taken to
provide access to-foot valve$ for maintenance and repairs, and
maintain its priming.
8.9.2 Underground storage tanks should be construted to meet the
following requirements:
a) Tanks should be watertight.
b) Care should be taken to prevent ingress of sub-soil water into the
tanks.
c) Adequate precautions should be taken to prevent surface water
from finding its way into ~the tanks.
d) Care should be taken to avoid any backflow of surface waters or
drains into the tanks through overflow pipes.
e) Tanks should be provided with suitable scour pipe of adequate
size where it is possible to empty the same under gravity flow
conditions or emptying of tank should be done by means of
pumping.
f) Tanks should be provided with at least one vent pipe for area not
exceeding 20 ms. L
g) Each tanks should be provided with adequate number of water-
tight and lockable manholes. All inlets, outlets and control
connections should be provided near manholes for easy access and
repair. Suitable rust proof steps or ladders should be provided
under manholes for access.

f) Suitable lightening arrestors should be provided for the tanks,
where necessary.
3. PUMPING SYSTEM
9.1 Wherever direct pumping or hydra-pneumatic systems are provided
( se6 6.3 and 6.4 ), the pumping systems are provided to meet the designed
peak flow in the system by one or more pumps. The systems should be
arranged so that, if the first pumps fails to meet the demand, the second
pump will go in operation until the demand is met. One additional stand
by pump shall always be provided.
9.2 Where overhead tank supply system is adopted and .adequate overhead
tank capacity is available, the pumping rate should be l-5 times- the
average requirement.
c

NATIONAL FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Part 19) which is identical with IS0 3800 : 1993 ‘Threaded fasteners - Axial
load fatigue testing - Test methods and evaluation of results’, issued by the International Organi-
zation for Standardization (ISO), was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommen-
dation of Bolts, Nuts and Fasteners Accessories Sectional Committee and approval of the Light
Mechanical Engineering Division Council.
. The text of the International Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian
Standard without deviation. Certain terminology and conventions are not identical with those used
in Indian Standards. Attention is drawn to the following:
a) Wherever the words ‘International Standard’appear, referring to this standard, they should be
read as ‘Indian Standard’.
b) Comma ( , ) has been used as a decimal marker while in Indian Standards the current practice
is to use a point ( . ) as the decimal marker.
In this adopted standard, reference appears to certain International Standards for which Indian Stand-
ards also exist. The corresponding Indian Standards which are.to be substituted in their place are
listed below along with their degree of equivalence for the editions indicated:

CODE OF PRACTICE FOR USE OF
METAL ARC WELDING FOR GENERAL
CONSTRUCTION IN MILD STEEL
( First Revision)
O. FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard (First Revision) was adopted by the Indian
Standards Institution on 19 December l$)ijg, after the draft finalized by
the Structural Welding Sections] Committee had been approved by the
Structural and Metals Division Council.
0.2 This standard was published in 1956. As a result of experience
gained during these years it has been decided to revise this standard
with the following modifications:
a) The scope of the code has been extended to semi-automaticand
automatic welding processes.
b) The size of the deep penetration welds for processes other than
manual metal arc, has been left to the discretion of the designer.
c) The allowable stresses in weld$ have been increased to bring
them in line with those for parent metal given in IS :800-19628.
d) Formuk for combination of stresses for fi]]et welds have been
included.
0.3 In the formulation of this code assistance has been derived from the
following publications:
DIN 41(MJ-1968 Above-ground steel structures. Calculation and
design. Deutscher Nlormenausschuss, Berlin.
B.S. 1856:1964- General requirements for the metal-arc welding of
mild steel. British Standards Institution, London,

1.2 This code, subject to the provisions of IS : 1024-1968* shall also
apply to bridges and structures subject to dynamic loa~ing.
1.3 The provisions of this code generally apply to the repair of existing
building construction in mild steel but do not necessarily cover all the
provisions applicable to the strengthening of exisiing structures which
should be the subject of special consideration. Special provisions
covering the design and fabrication of pipelines, boiler storage tanks and

5.1.1 Type 1, commorly designated as ‘ simple ‘ ( unrestrained, free-
ended ), assumes that the ends of beams and girders are connected for I
shear only, and are free to rotate under load.
5.1.2 Type 2, commonly designated as ‘ rigid frame ‘ (continuous, I
restrained ) assumes that the end connections of beams, girders and all I
other members in the frame have sufficient rigidity to hold virtually
unchanged the original angles between such members and the members
to which they connect.

6. DESIGN
\
6.1 Butt Weld
1
6.1.1 For all butt welds, the details shall in general conform to the
provisions of IS : 823-1964* in the case of manual metal arc welding and
IS : 4353-1967t in the case of submerged arc welding, 1’
6.1.2 Unsealed butt welds of V, U, J and bevel types and incomplete
penetration butt welds should not be used for highly stressed joints and
joints subjected to dynamic, repeating or alternating forces. They shall
also not be subjected to a bending moment about the longitudinal axis
of the weld other than that normally resulting from the eccentricity of
the weld metal relative to the parts joined.
6.1.3 Size — The size of a butt weld shall be specified by the effective
throat thickness.
*Codeofprocedure formanual metal arc welding of mild steel.
TRecommendations for submerged arc welding of mild steel and low alloy otaala.
5IS :816-1969
6.1.4 Effective Throat Thickness
6.1.4.1 Complete penetration butt welds — The effective throat
thickness of a complete penetration butt weld shall be taken as the
thickness of the thinner part joined. The effective throat thickness of
‘T‘ or cL ‘ butt joints shall be the thickness of the abutting part.
Reinforcement may be provided to ensure full cross-sectional area, but
shall not be considered as part of the effective throat thickness.
6.1.4.2 Incomplete penetration or unsealed single butt welds*
a) The effective throat thickness of an incomplete penetration
butt weld shall be taken as the minimum thickness of the weld
metal common to the parts joined, excluding reinforcement.
b) Unsealed single butt welds of V, U, J and bevel types, and
incomplete penetration butt welds welded from one side
only, should have a throat thickness of at least &of the thick-
ness of the thinner of the parts joined. If required, evidence
(see Note) should be produced by the fabricator to show that
this effective throat thickness has been obtained. For the
purpose of stress calculation, a reduced effective throat thick.
ness not exceeding ~ of the thickness of the thinner part joined
should be used.
NOTE— The nature of such evidence should be decided by agreement
between the designer/purchaser and the fabricator, and may, for example,
comprise:
i) Tests carried out before welding to show that the welding
procedure is capable of providing the required penetration, and
inspection during welding to establish that the correct procedure
has been followed;
ii) Teet pieces made asoontinuationa of the seams during welding; and
iii) Examination, after welding, by radiographic or other suitable
non-destructive methods.
c) The unwelded portion in incomplete penetration butt welds,
welded from both sides, shall not be greater than $ of the
thickness of the thinner part joined, and should be central in
the depth of the weld. If required, evidence [ see Note
under 6.1.4.2 ( b ) ] should be produced by the fabricator to
show that this required penetration has been achieved. For
the purpose of stress calculation, a reduced effective throat
thickness not exceeding ~of the thickness of the thinner part
joined should be used.
lAn incomplete penetration butt weld is a butt weld in which the weld metal is
intentionally not deposited through the full thickness of tbe joint.
6IS :816-1969
6.1.5 Eflecrive Length — The effective length of a butt weld shall be
taken as the length of the continuous full size weld except in the follow-
ing two cases, when the full width of the joint or piece shall be taken
as effective length:
a) The ends of the butt welds are extended past the edges of the
parts joined by the use of run-on and run-off plates with a
similar joint preparation and of a reasonable thickness not
less than the thickness of the parts joined and of length not less
than 40 mm (see Fig, 1). If run-on and run-off plates are
removed after completion of the weld, the ends of the weld
shall be smooth and flush with the edges of the abutting par?.s.
FIG. 1 BUTT WELDED JOINTS WITH RUN-ON
AND RUN-OFF PLATES
b) The parent metal is not more than 20 mm thick, the end shall
be chipped or cut back to solid metal and welds applied hav-
ing a width not less than 11 times the ‘ V‘ opening between
the parts joined to fill out the ends of the same re-enforcement
as the faces of the weld (see Fig. 2).
6.1.5.1 In most cases of butt welds, full width of the plate
should be welded adopting the procedure mentioned under 6.1.5 (a)
or 6.1.5 (b ). If, in any case, the butt weld need not 5e for the full width
of the member, detailed instructions regarding the typ: of joint should
be given on the drawings.
6.1.5.2 A transverse skewed butt weld shall not be assumed in
computations to be longer than the width of the joint or piece perpencii.
cular to the direction of stress.
6.1.6 The effective area of a butt weld shall be considered as the
effective length niultiplied by the effective throat thickness.
6.1.7 Load Carrying Butt Welds —Butt welds shall be considered as
the parent metal for purpose of design calculations.

6.1.8 iVon-Load Carrying Butt Welds — Butt welds where the penetra-
tion is less than that specified in 6.1.4 due to non-accessibility are to be
considered as non-load carrying for purposes of design calculations.
6.1.9 Intermittent Butt Welds
6.1.9.1 Intermittent butt welds should be used to resist shear only,
and the effective length of such weld should not be less than four times
the lon~itudinal space between tlte effective length of \velds nor more
than 16 times thinner part joined except as specified under 9.1, 10A
and 11.6.
6.1.9.2 Intermittent butt welds shall not be ~tsedin positions subject
to dynamic, repetitive and alternate stress.
6.1.10 Sealing or Baclcing
6.1.10.1 Single V, U, J or bevelled butt welds intended to carry the
permissible stresses based on the full-plate thickness should be completed
by depositing a sealing run of weld metal on the back of the joints.
The back of the first run shall be cut out with a round-nosed chisel prior
to the application of subsequent runs on the reverse side. The depth to
which the first run is cut out shall be sufficient to expose the clean face
of the first run. The grooves thus formed and the roots of the single
V, U, J or bevelled weld shall be filled in and sealed.
6.1.10.2 Where another steel part of the structure or a special steel
backing strip is provided in contact with the back of the joint, shlgle
V, U, J or bevelled butt welds welded from one side only be permitted,
provided the steel parts of the joint are bevelled to an edge with a root
g..p sufficient to ensure fusion into the bottom of the ‘ V ‘ and the steel
part at the back of the joint.IS :816-1969
6.1.11 Butt Welding Parts of Unequal Cross Section
6.1.11.1 in butt welding steel parts in line with each other and
which are intended to withstand dynamic, repeating or alternating forces,
and which are of unequal width, or where the difference in thickness of
theparts exceeds 25 percent of the thickness of the thinner part or
3$0 mm, whichever is greater the dimensions of the wider or thickel part
should be reduced at the butt joint to those of the smaller part, the
slope being not steeper than one in five ( see Fig. 3A and 3B ).

6.1.11.2 Where the reduction of the dimensions of the thicker part
is impr~ cticable, and/or where structures are not designed to withstand
dynamic, repeating or alternating forces, the weld metal should be built
up at the junction with the thicker part to dimensions at least 25 percent
greater than those of the thinner part, or, alternatively, to the dimen-
sions of the thicker member (see Fig. 3C ). Where the reduction of
the width of wider part is impracticable, the ends of the weld shall be
returned to ensure full throat thickness.
6.1.12 Reinforcement —Only sufficient surface convexity shall be
provided by reinforcement to ensure full cross-sectional area at the joint.
The reinforcement shall not be considered as part of the throat thickness
and may be removed to give a flush surface, if desired.
6.2 Fillet Welds
6.2.1 Size — The size of a normal fillet shall be taken as the minimum
leg length (see Fig. 4). For deep penetration welds, where the depth
of penetration beyond the root run is 2“4 mm ( Min ), the size of the
fillet should-be taken as the minimum leg length +- 2-4 mm.

of the group in order to determine the allowable capacity of the
combination.
6.5 If two or more plates or rolled shapes are used to build up amember,
sufficient welds ( of the fillet, plug or slot type ) to make the parts act
in unison shall be provided ( see 6.5.1 to 6.5.3 ), except where transfer

10.2 Lacing — Where Iacmg bars overlap the main membe]s, the 1’
amount of lap measured along either edge of the lacing bar should be n
not less than four times the thickness of the bar or members, whichever I

should in any case be provided along each side of the bar for the full
1
length of lap.

10.2.1 Where lacing bars are fitted between the main members, they
s]
shall be connected to each member by fillet welds on each side of the
bar or by full penetration butt welds. The lacing bars shall be so 1
placed as to be generally opposite the flange or stitiening element of the
Si
main member. t
10.3 Battening — Where tie or batten plates overlap the main members, a
the amount of lap should not be less than four times the thickness of the
plate. The length of weld connecting each edge of the batten plate to
the member shall in aggregate be not less than half the depth of the II
batten plate. At least one-third of this welding shall be placed at each II

IL WELDING IN PLATE GIRDERS
11.1 For general design considerations relating to plate girders, reference
shall be made to IS : 800-1962*.
11.2 In welded plate girders each flange should preferably consist of a
single section rather than of two or more sections superimposed, but
the single section may comprise a series of sections laid end to end
and effectively welded at their junctions.
11.2.1 The flange plate welded directly to the web plate shall not be
more than 20 mm thick when steel conforms to IS : 226-1969t and not
more than 50 mm thick when steel conforms to IS :2062-1969$.
11.3 Flange plates shall be joined by butt welds wherever possible. These
butt welds. shall develop the full strength of the plates.
11.3.1 The weld joining the cncls of flange plates should be at right
angles to the direction of the load.
kL3.2 The ends of the flange plates shall be welded before assembly.
When more than one flange plate is used the butt joints should be stag-
gered as far as possible (see Fig. 8). When unavoidable and the joints
lie in the same plane the welding shall be done as shown in Fig. 9 and
10. The ends of the plates are joined first with a V-weld. The size of
this shall be such that it does not melt away when the butt weld is
completed.
11.3.3 Where splice plates are used, their area shall be not less than
5 percent in excess of the area of the flange element spliced and their
centre of gravity shall coincide as far as possible with that of the element
spliced. There shall be enough welds on each side of the splice to
develop the load in the element spliced plus 5 percent, but in no case
should the strength developed be less than 50 percent of the effective
strength of member spliced.
11.4 Web plates shall preferably be joined by complete penetration
butt welds. Where splice plates are used, they shall be designed to
resist the shear and moment at the spliced section.

proportioned to resist the maximum horizontal shear forces resulting
from the bending forces on the girder.
11.5.1 Additionally, welds connecting flange to web shall be pro-
portioned to transmit any vertical loads applied directly to the flange.
Where the web is machined and is in close contact with the flange before
welding, such vertical loads may be deemed to be resisted entirely by 1
bearing between the flange and the web provided that the bearing s
stresses so produced are within the permissible limits, assuming the s
dispersion of load through parts at 30° to horizontal.
22Is: 816- 1%9
11.5.1.1 In case the bearing stres%es exceed permissib~e values,
bearing stiffeners shall be designed to carry the concentrated loads
applied directly to the flange.

11.6 The welding between stiffeners and web should be in accordailce
with the following requirements:
a) The size of the fillet welds should be obtained from Table 1 in
relation to the thickness of the web or stiffener, whichever is
the greater;
b) Where intermittent welds are used, the distance between the
effective lengths of any two welds, even if staggered on opposite
sides of the stiffeners should not exceed 16 times the thickness
of the stiffener nor 30 cm;
c) Where intermittnet welds are placed on one side only of the
stiffener, or on both sides but staggered or where single plate
stiffeners are butt welded to the web, the effective length of each
weld should be not less than 10times the thickness of the stiffener;
d) Where intermittent welds are placed in pairs, one weld on each
side of the stiffener, the effective length of each weld should be
not less than four times the thickness of the stiffener; and
e) For bearing stiffeners, the welding should, in addition, be sufficient
to tratismit to the web the full reaction or load.
11.7 Where sti~eners are required to be connected to the flanges, they
should not be welded to the flanges subjected to tensile forces in
structures subject to dynamic loading wherever possible,
23IS :816-1969
11,8 The corners of the stiffeners should be notched to prevent the
concentration of longitudinal and transverse welds (see Fig. 12 ).

CONCENTRATION
12. DESIGN OF CONNECTIONS
12.1 Eccentricity of Members — Members meeting at a joint should,
where practicable, have their gravity axes meeting at a point so as to
avoid eccentricity. Where this cannot be done, allowance shall be made
for the bending moments due to eccentricity,
12.2 Eccentricity of Connections — Wherever practicable, the line of
action of the force should pass through the centre of resistance of a
connection so as to avoid an eccentricity moment on the section;
otherwise allowance shall be made for eccentricity.
12.3 Connections of Tension and Compression Members in Trusses —
Welded cent.ections at ends of tension or compression members in
trusses shall either develop the full effective strength of the material or
they shall develop the strength required by total stresseS, but in no case
should such strength developed be less than 50 percent of the effective
strength of the material connected.
12.4 Packing — Whele a packing is used between two parts, the parking
and the welds connecting it to each part, should be capable of trans-
mitting the load between the parts , except where a properly iltted
241S :816- 1%9
packing is used in compression. Where a packing is too thin to carry
the load or permit the provision of adequate welds, it should be trimmed
flush with the edges of the narrower part and the load should be trans-
mitted through the welds alone, the welds being increased in size by the
thickness of the packing.
12.5 Welding Combined with Riveting or Bolting ( see also 14 )— In new
work welds and rivets or bolts combined in one connection should not be
considered as sharing the load, and welds should be provided to carry
the entire load for which the connection is designed.
12.6 Joints should be so developed that individual components may have
flexibility at least in one direction. Alternatively the joint may be
designed for the indirect secondary bending and torsion and stress due
to rigid connections of components at the joints.
13. WELDING OF ROLLED STEEL SECTIONS
13.1 Fillet welding of segregated zones of rolled steel sections should be
avoided for fear of unfavorable internal stresses being developed.
14. WELDING FOR STRENGTHENING OF EXISTING RIVETLD
OR BOLTED CONNECTIONS AND STRUCTURES
14.1 When welding isused for strengthening an existing riveted or bolted
connection, the rivets or bolts shall be assumed to carry the dead load,
provided they are capable of carrying it without over-stres~, and welding
shall be added to carry all live and impact loads. If rivets or bolts
are over-stressed by dead load only, then welding shall be added to
carry all loads ( dead, live and impact ):
14.2 Where a compression member is strengthened by welding while
under load, the work shall be carried out in such a way that:
a) the least radius of gyration is substantially increased, and
b) large compression shrinkage stresses are not induced in the
extreme fibres.
14.3 Compression members , while they are subject to a calculated
stress exceeding 470 kgf/cm*, shall not be strengthened by welding.

ing the current drawn on the welding side should be available, either as
part of the welding plant or by the provision of a portable ammeter.
13.2.3 Electrodes —The types of electrodes used should be only those
recommended by the manufacturer for use in the position in which the
welds are to be made. Electrodes should be stored in thei,r original
bundles or cartons in a dry place and adequately protected for weather
effects. Electrodes which have areas of the flux covering broken away
or damaged should be discarded. If electrodes become affected by
dampness, but are not otherwise damaged, they may be used onl~ after
being dried in a manner approved by the manufacturer, and after 19
undergoing appropriate pcrfm-mance tests, indicating that the electrodes

CODE OF PRACTICE FOR
DESIGN LOADS (OTHER THAN EARTHQUAKE)
FOR BUILDINGS AND STRUCTURES
PART 5 SPECIAL LOADS AND LOAD COMBINATIONS
( Second Revision )
0. FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard ( Part 5 ) ( Second Revision ) was adopted by
the Bureau of Indian Standards on 3 1 August 1987, after the draft finaliz-
ed by the Structural Safety Sectional Committee had been approved by
the Civil Engineering Division Council.
0.2 A building has to perform many functions satisfac orily. Amongst
these functions are the utility of the building for the intended use and
occupancy, structural safety, fire safety; and compliance with hygienic,
ganitation, ventilation and day light standards. The design of the building
is dependent upon the minimum requirements prescribed for each of the
above functions. The minimum requirements pertaining to the structural
safety of buildings are being covered in this code by way of laying down
minimum design loads which have to be assumed for dead loads, imposed
loads, snow loads and other external loads, the structure would be requir-
ed to bear. Strict conformity to loading standards recommended in this
code, ‘It is hoped, will not only ensure the structural safety of the buildings
which are being designed and constructed in the country and thereby
reduce the hazards to life and property caused by unsafe structures, but
also eliminate the wastage caused by assuming unnecessarily heavy load-
ings. Notwithstanding what is stated regarding the structural safety of
buildings, the application of the provisions should be carried out by com-
petent and responsible structural designer who would satisfy himself that
the structure designed in accordance with this code meets the desired
performance requirements when the same is carried out according to
specifications.
0.3 This standard code of practice was first published in 1957 for the
guidance of civil engineers, designers and architects associated with plann-
ing and design of buildings. It included the provisions for basic design
3IS t 875 ( Part 5 ) - 1987
loads ( dead loads, live loads, wind loads and seismicloads ) to be assumed
in the design of buildings. In its first revision in 1964, the wind pressure
provisions were modified on the basis of studies of wind phenomenon and
its effects on structures, undertaken by the special committee in consultation
with the Indian Meteorological Department. In addition to this, new
clauses on wind loads for butterfly type structures were included; wind
pressure coefficients for sheeted roofs both curved and sloping were modi-
fied; seismic load provisions were deleted ( separate code having been
prepared ) and metric system of weights and measurements was adopted.
0.3.1 With the increased adoption of the code, a number of comments
were received on the provisions on live load values adopted for different
occupancies. Simultaneously live load surveys have been carried out in
America, Canada and other countries to arrive at realistic live loads based
on actual determination of loading ( movable and immovable ) in
different occupancies. Keeping this in view and other developments in the
field of wind engineering, the committee responsible for the preparation of
the standard decided to prepare second revision in the following five parts:
Part 1 Dead loads
Part 2 Imposed loads
Part 3 Wind loads
Part 4 Snow loads
Part 5 Special loads and load combinations.
Earthquake load is covered in a separate standard, namely IS : 1893
1984* which should be considered along with the above loads.
0.3.2 This code ( Part 5 ) deals with loads and load effects ( other than
those covered in Parts 1 to 4, and seismic loads ) due to temper-
ature changes, internally generating stresses ( due to creep, shrinkage,
differential settlement, etc ) in the building and its components, soil and
hydrostatic pressure, accidental loads, etc. This part also includes guid-
ance on load combinations.
0.4 The code has taken into account the prevailing practices in regard to
loading standards followed in this country by the various municipal autho-
rities and has also taken note of the developments in a number of countries
abroad. In the preparation of this code, the following national standards
have been examined:
a) National Building Code of Canada ( 1977 ) Supplement No. 4.
Canadian Structural Design Manual.
*Criteria for earthquaker esistantd esigno f structures( thirdr enision ).
4I& : 835 ( Part 5 ) - 1987
b) DS 410-1983 Code of practice for loads for the design of struct-
ures. Danish Standards Institution.
4 NZS 4203-1976 New Zealand Standard General structural design
and design loading for building. Standards Association of New
Zealand.
4 ANSI A 58.1-1982 American Standard Building code require-
ments for minimum design loads in buildings and other structures.
i. SCOPE
1.1 This code ( Part 5 ) deals with loads and load effects due to temper-
ature changes, soil and hydrostatic pressures, internally generating stresses
( due to creep, shrinkage, differential settlement, etc ), accidental loads
etc, to be considered in the design of buildings as appropriate. This part
also includes guidance on load combinations. The nature of loads to be
considered for a particular situation is to be based on engineering
judgement.
2. TEMPERATURE EFFECTS
2.1 Expansion and contraction due to changes in temperature of the
materials of a structure shall be considered in design. Provision shall be
made either to relieve the stress by provision of expansion/contraction
joints in accordance with IS : 3414-1968* or design the structure to carry
additional stresses due to temperature effects as appropriate to the
problem.
2.1.1 The temperature range varies for different regions and under
different diurnal and seasonal conditions. The absolute maximum and
minimum temperature which may be expected in different localities in
the country are indicated in Fig. 1 and 2 respectively. These figures may
be used for guidance in assessing the maximum variations of temperature.
2.1.2 The temperatures indicated in Fig. 1 and 2 are the air tempera-
tures in the shade. The range of variation in temperature of the building
materials may be appreciably greater or less than the variation of air
temperature and is influenced by the condition of exposure and the rate at
which the materials composing the structure absorb or radiate heat. This
difference in temperature variations of the material and air should be given
due consideration.
2.1.3 The structural analysis must take into account: (a) changes of the
mean ( through the section ) temperature in relation to the initial temper-
ature ( st ), and (b) the temperature gradient through the section,

2.1.3.1 It should be borne in mind that the changes of mean temper-
ature in relation to the initial are liable to differ as between one structural
element and another in buildings or structures, as for example, between
the external walls and the internal elements of a building. The distribution
of temperature through section of single-leaf structural elements may be
assumed linear for the purpose of analysis.
2.1.3.2 The effect of mean temperature changes tl, and ts, and the
temperature gradients u1 and vs in the hot and cold seasons for single-leaf
structural elements shall be evaluated ori the basis of analytical principles.
Nom 1 - For portions of the structure below ground level, the variation of
temperature is generally insignificant. However, during the period of construction
when the portions of the structure are exposed to weather elements, adequate pro-
vision should be made to encounter adverse effects, if any.
NOTE 2 - If it can be shown by engineering principles, 0; if it is known from
experience, that neglect of some or all the effects of tern erature do not affect the
structural safety and rerviceability, they need not be cons~3 ered in design.
3. HYDROSTATIC AND SOIL PRESSURE
3.1 In the design ofstructures or parts of structures below ground level,
such as retaining walls and ‘other walls in basement floors. the pressure
exerted by soil or water or both shall be duly accounted for on the basis
of established theories. Due allowance shall be made for possible surcharge
from stationary or moving loads. When a portion or whole of the soil is
below the free water surface, the lateral earth pressure shall be evaluated
for weight of soil diminished by buoyancy and the full hydrostatic pressure.
3.1.1 All foundation slabs and other footings subjected to water pres-
sure shall be designed to resist a uniformly distributed uplift equal to the
full hydrostatic pressure. Checking of overturning of foundation under
submerged condition shall be done considering buoyant wei ght of
foundation.
3.2 While determining the lateral soil pressure on column like structural
members, such as pillars which rest in sloping soils, the width of the
member shall be taken as follows ( see Fig. 3 ):
Actual Width of Member Ratio of Effective Width to
Actual Width
Less than O-5 m 3-o
Beyond 0.5 m and up to 1 m 3.0 to 2.0
Beyond 1 m 2-o
The relieving pressure of soil in front of the structural member
concerned may generally not be taken into account.

ing and horizontal sliding shall be verified. Imposed loads having favot+
able effect shall be disregarded for the purpose. Due consideration shall

4. FATIGUE
4.1 General - Fatigue cracks are usually initiated at points of high stress
concentration. These stress concentrations may be caused by or associated
with holes ( such as bolt or rivet holes in steel structures ), welds includ-
ing stray or fusions in steel structures, defects in materials, and local and
general changes in geometry of members. The cracks usually propogate
if loading is continuous.
Where there is such loading cycles, sudden changes of shape of a
member or part of a member, specially in regions of tensile stress and/or
local secondary bending, shall be avoided, Suitable steps shall be taken to
avoid critical vibrations due to wind and other causes.
4.2 Where necessary, permissible stresses shall be reduced to allow for the
effects of fatigue. Allowance for fatigue shall be made for combinations of
stresses due to dead load and imposed load. Stresses due to wind and
earthquakes may be ignored when fatigue is being considered unless other-
wise specified in the relevant codes of practice.
918:875(Part5)-1687
Each element of the structure shall be designed for the number of
stress cycles of each magnitude to which it is estimated that the element
is liable to be subjected during the expected life of the structure. The
number of cycles of each magnitude shall be estimated~ in the light of
available data regarding the probable frequency of occurrence of each type
of loading.
NOTB- Apart from the general observations made herein the code is unable
to provide any precise guidance in estimating the probablistic behaviour and response
of structures of various types arising out of repetitive loading approaching fatigue
conditions in structural members, joints, materials, etc.
5. STRUCTURAL SAFETY DURING CONSTRUCTION
5.1 All loads required to be carried by the structures or any part of it
due to storage or positioning of construction materials and erection equip-
ment including all loads due to operation of such equipment, shall be
considered as erection loads. Proper provision shall be made, including
temporary bracings to take care of all stresses due to erection loads. The
structure as a whole and all parts of structure in conjunction with the
temporary bracings shall be capable of sustaining these erection loads
without exceeding the permissible stresses specified in respective codes of
practice. Dead load, wind load and such parts of imposed load as would
be imposed on the structure during the period of erection shall be taken
as acting together with erection loads.
6. ACCIDENTAL LOADS
6.0 General-The occurrence of accidental loads with a significant value,
is unlikely on a given structure over the period oftime under consideration,
and also in most cases is of short duration. The occurrence of an accidental
load could in many cases be expected to cause severe consequences unless
special measures are taken:
The accidental loads arising out of human action include the
following:
a) Impacts and collisions,
b) Explosions, and
c) Fire.
Characteristic of the above stated loads are that they are not a come-
quence of normal use and that they are undesired, and that extensive
efforts are made to avoid them. As a result, the probability of occurrence
of an accidental load is small whereas the consequences may be severe.
10IS: 875 (Parts)- 1987
The causes of accidental loads may be:
a) inadequate safety of equipment ( due to poor design or poor
maintenance ); and
b) wrong operation ( due to insufficient teaching or training, indis-
position, negligence or unfavourable external circumstances ).
In most cases, accidental loads only develop under a combination of
several unfavourable occurrence. In practical applications, it may be ncces-
sary to neglect the most unlikely loads. The probability of occurrence of
accidental loads which are neglected may differ for different consequences
of a possible failure. A data base for a detailed calculation of the proba-
bility will seldom be available.
NOTE - Dcfcrmination of Accidsrrtal Loads - Types and magnitude of accidental
loads should preferably be based on a risk analysis. The analysis should consider all
factors influencing the magnitude of the action, including preventive measures for
accidental situations. Generally, only the principal load bearing system need be
designed for relevant ultimate limit statea.
6.1 Impacts and Collisions
6.1.1 General - During an impact, the kinetic impact energy has to be
absorbed by the vehicle hitting the structure and by the structure itself.
In an accurate analysis, the probabihty of occurrence of an impact with a
certain energy and the deformation characteristics of the object hitting
the structure and the structure itself at the actual place nhust be consider-
ed. Impact energies for dropped objects should be based on the actual
loading capacity and lifting height.
Common sources of impact are:
a) vehicles;
b) dropped objects from cranes, fork lifts, etc;
c) cranes out of control, crane failures; and
d) flying fragments.
The codal requirements regarding impact from vehicles and cranes
are given in 6.1.2 and 6.1.3.
6.1.2 Collisions Between Vehicles and Structural Elements - In road tra&z,
the requirement that a structure shall be able to resist collision may be
assumed to be fulfilled if it is demonstrated that the structural element is
able to stop a fictitious vehicle, as described in the following. It is assum-
ed that the vehicle strikes the structural element at height of 1.2 m in any
possible direction and at a speed of 10 m/s ( 36 km/h ).
11IS : 875 ( Part 5 ) - 1987
The fictitious vehicle shall be considered to consist of two masses
ml and ma which during compression of the vehicle produce an impact
force increasing uniformly from zero, corresponding to the rigidities Cr
and Cs. It is assumed that the mass ml is breaked completely before the
braking of mass m, begins.
The following numerical values should be used:
ml = 400 kg, Cr = 10 000 kN per m the vehicle is compressed.
ms = 12 no0 kg, C’s = 300 kN per m the vehicle is compressed.
NOTE- The described fictitious collision corresponds in the case of a non-elastic
structural element to a maximum static force of 630 kN for the mass ml and 600 kN
for the mass ms irrespective of the elasticity. It will, therefore, be on the safe side to
assume the static force to be 630 kN.
In addition, braking of the mass ml will result in an impact wave,
the effect of which will depend to a great extent on the kind of structural
element concerned. Consequently, it will not always be sufficient to design
for the static force.
6.1.3 Safe0 Railings - With regard to safety railings put up to protect
structures against collision due to road traffic, it should be shown that the
railings are able to resist on impact as described in 6.1.2.
NOTE - When a vehicle collides with safety railings, the kinetic energy of the
veh+e will be absorbed in part by the deformation of the railings and, in part by
the deformation of the vehicle. The part of the kinetic energy which the railings
should be able to absorb without breaking down may be determined on the basis of
the assumed rigidity of the vehicle during the compression.
6.1.4 Crane Impact Load on BuJer Stab - The basic horizontal load Py
( tonnes ), acting along the crane track produced by impact of the crane
on the buffer stop, is calculated by the following formula:
where
V- speed at which the crane is travelling at the moment of
impact ( assumed equal to half the nominal value ) (m/s>;
F = maximum shortening of the buffer, assumed equal to 0.1
m for light duty, medium-duty and heavy-duty cranes with
flexible load suspension and loading capacity not exceed-
ing 50 t, and O-2 m in every other cranes; and
M - the reduced crane mass (t.s*/m); and is obtained by the
formula:
M a- ; [++ (4 + Q) -Qq
12IS z 875 ( Part 5 ) - 1987
where
g = acceleration due to gravity ( 9.81 m/s* );
Ph = crane bridge weight (t);
Pt = crab weight (t);
k = a coefficient, assumed equal to zero for cranes with flexible
load suspension and equal to one for cranes with rigid
suspension;
Q = crane loading capacity (t);
Lk = crane span (m); and
1 = nearness of crab (m).
6.2 Explosions
6.2.1 General - Explosions may cause impulsive loading on a structure.
The following types of explosions are particularly relevant:
a) Internal gas explosions which may be caused by leakage of gas
piping ( including piping outside the room ), evaporation from
volatile liquids or unintentional evaporation from surface mate-
rial ( for example, fire );
b) Internal dust explosions;
c) Boiler failure;
d) External gas cloud explosions; and
e) External explosions of high-explosives ( TNT, dynamite ).
The coda1 requirement regarding internal gas explosions is given
in 6.2.2.
6.2.2 Explosion Efect in Closed Rooms - Gas explosion may be caused,
for example, by leaks in gas pipes ( inclusive of pipes outside the room ),
evaporation from volatile liquids or unintentional evaporation of gas from
wall sheathings ( for example, caused by fire ).
NOTE 1 - The effect of explosiona depends on the exploding medium, the
concentration of the explosion, the shape of the room, possibilities of ventilation of
the explosion. and the ductility and dynamic properties of the structure. In rooms
with little possibility for relief of the pressure from the explosion, very large pres-
sures may occur.
Internal overpressure from an internal gas explosion in rooms of sizes compara-
ble to residential rooms and with ventilation areas consisting of window glass
breaking at a pressure of 4 kN/m’ ( 3-4 mm machine made glass ) may be calculated
from the following method:
a) The overpressure is assumed to depend on a factor A/V, where A is the total
window area in m’, V is the volume in m* of the room considered.

b) The internal prersure is assumed to act simultaneously upon all walls and
Room in one closed room.
c) The action q. may be taken M static action.
If account ir taken of the time curve of action, the following ( Fig. 4 ) rchematic
correqondence between pressure and time is arrumed, where 11 is the time from the
atart of combustion until maximum prerrure ia reached, and f, is the &me from
maximum pressure to the end of comburtion. For 11 and t,. the most unfavourable
valuer rhould be chosen in relation to the dynamic proper&a of the structures.
However, the valuer should be chosen within the intervals as given in Fig. 5.
Noxut 2 - Figure 4 is based on tertr with gar explosions in room corresponding
to ordinary residential flats and rhould, therefore, not be applied to considerably
different conditions. The figure corresponds to an explosion caurpd by town gas and
it might therefore, be somewhat on the safe aide in rooms where there is only the
poaSbility of gaKI with a lower rate of combustion.
The prenure may he applied solely in one room or in more rooma at the same
time. In the latter case, all room8 are incorporated in the volume V. Only windows
or other similarly weak and light weight structural clementr may be taken to be

than qO.
Figure 4 is given purely BS guide and probability of occurrence of an explosion
should be checked in each case using appropriate values.
6.3 Vertical Load on Air Raid Shelters
6.3.1 Characteristic Values - As regards buildings in which the indivi-
dual floors are acted upon by a total characteristic imposed action of up
to 5.8 kN/ma, vertical actions on air raid shelters generally locared below
ground level, for example, basement, etc, should be considered to have
the following characteristic values:
a) Buildings with up to 2 storeys 28 kN/m*
b) Buildings with 3 to 4 storeys 34 kN/m*
c) Buildings with more than 4 storeys 41 kN/m*
d) Buildings of particularly stable construction 28 kN/ms
irrespective of the number of storeys
In the case of buildings with floors that are acted upon by a charac-
teristic imposed action larger than 5.0 kN/m*, the above values should be
increased by the difference between the average imposed action on all
storeys above the one concerned and 5-O kN/m*.
NOTE 1 - By storeys it is understood, every utilizable storey above the shelter,
NOTE 2 - By buildings of a particular stable construction it is understood, build-
inFs in which the load-bearing atructurea are made from reinforced in-situ concrete,

6.4 Fire
6.4.1 General - Possible extraordinary loads during a fire may be
considered as accidental actions, Examples are loads from people along
escape routes and loads on another structure from structure failing because
of d tie.
6.4.2 Thermal Efect During Fire - The thermal effect during fire may
be determined from one of the following methods:
a) Time-temperature curve and the required fire resistance
( minutes ), or
b) Energy balance method.
If the thermal effect during fire is determined from energy balance
method, the fire load is taken to be:
Q = 12tb
151s : 875 ( Part 5 ) - 1987
where
q = fire action ( K J per m* floor ), and
tb = required fire resistance ( minutes ) ( see IS : 1642-1960* ).
NOTE - The fire action is defined as the total quantity of heat produced by
complete combustion of all combustible material in the fire compartment, inclusive
of stored goods and equipment together with building structures and building
materials.
7. OTHER LOADS
7.1 Other loads not included in the present code such as special loads
due to technical process, moisture and shrinkage effects, etc, should be
taken into account where stipulated by building design codes or established
in accordance with the performance requirement of the structure.
8. LOAD COMBINATIONS
8.0 General - A judicious combination of the loads ( specified in Parts 1
to 4 of this standard and earthquake ), keeping in view the probabi-
lity of:
a) their acting together, and
b) their disposition in relation to other loads and severity of stresses
or deformations caused by combinations of the various loads is
necessary to ensure the required safety and economy in the design
of a structure.
8.1 Load Combinations - Keeping the aspect specified in 8.8, the vari-
ous loads should, therefore, be combined in accordance with thestipulations
in the relevant design codes. In the absence of such recommendations,
the following loading combinations, whichever combination produces the
most unfavourable effect in the building, foundation or structural member
concerned may be adopted ( as a general guidance ). It should also be
recognized in load combinations that the simultaneous occurrence of maxi-
mum values of wind, earthquake, imposed and snow loads is not likely,

n) DL+IL+EL+TL
( DL = dead load, IL = imposed load, WL = wind load,
EL = earthquake load, IL = temperature load ).
NOTE 1 - When snow load is present on roofs, replace imposed load by snow
load for the purpose of above load combinations.
NOTE 2 - The relevant design codes shall be followed for permissible stresses
when the structure is -designed by working stress method and for partial safety factors
when the structure is designed by limit state design method for each of the above
load combinations.
NOTE 3 - Whenever imposed load (IL) is combined with earthquake load (EL),
the appropriate part of imposed load as specified in IS : 1893- 1984f should be used
both for evaluating earthquake effect and for combined load effects used in such
combination.
NOTE 4- For the purpose of stability of the structure as a whole against over-
turning, the restoring moment shall he not less than 1’2 times the maximum over-
turning moment due to dead load plus 1’4 times the maxrmum overturning moment
dlle to imposed loads. In cases where dead load provides the restoring moment, only
0.9 times the dead load shall be considered. The restoring moments due to imposed
loads shall be ignored.
NOTE 5 - The structure shall have a factor against sliding of not less than 1’4
under the most adverse combination of the applied loads/forces. In this case, only 0’9
times the dead load shall be taken into account.
NOTE 6 -‘Where the bearing pressure on soil due to wind alone is less than 25
percent of that due to dead load and imposed load, it may be neglected in design.
Where this exceeds 25 percent foundation may be so proportioned that the pressure
due to combined effect of dead load, imposed load and wind load does not exceed
the allowable bearing pressure by more than 25 percent. When earthquake effect is
included, the permissible increase is allowable bearing pressure in the soil shall be in
accordance with IS : 1893-1984*.
Reduced imposed load (IL) specified iti. Part 2 of this rtandard for the design of
supporting structures should not be applied in combination with earthquake forces.
NOTE 7 - Other loads and accidental load combinations not included should be
dealt with appropriately.
NOTE 8 - Crane load combinations are covered under Part 2 of this standard
( see 6.4 of Part 2 of this standard ).

REQUIREMENTS
( Third Revision)
0. FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard ( Third Revision ) was adopted by the Indian
Standards Institution on 31 October 1986, after the draft finalized by the
Foundation Engineering Sectional Committee had been approved by the
Civii Engineering Division Council.
0.2 Series of indian Standards on design and construction of various.
types of foundations (shallow, deep and special types) have been formmated
covering their specific requirements. Many of the requirements for design-
ing of such foundatidns are common for all types of foundations. In order
that these general requirements are not repeated in each of such Indian
Standards, this basic Indian Standard covering such general requirements
has been formulated. This Indian Standard was first published in 1961
and revised in 1966 and 1978, which covered requirement for shallow
foundations. During the past seven years, new Indian Standards covering
design and construction of various types of foundations have been formu-
lated. It was, therefore, decided to revise this standard so as to cover the
general requirements for design and construction not only for shallow
foundation-but also for all types of foundations. Opportunity has also been
taken to transfer the general requirements covered in IS : 1080-1980*, which
is also being revised simultaneously, so that it covers only the specific
requirements applicable to design and construction of shallow foundations.
0.3 The design of the foundation, super-structure and the characteristics
of the ground are inter-related. In order to obtain maximum economy,
the supporting ground, foundation and super-structure should be studied
as a whole. The design of a foundation involves both geotechnical aspects
of supporting ground and the structural aspects of the foundation mate-
rials. The aim is to proportion the foundation ( plan dimensions ) in such
a way that net loading intensity of pressure coming on the soil does not

exceed the safe bearing capacity and that structural design which involves
the determination of the thickness of elements so that maximum stress in
concrete ( plain or reinforced ) and masonry is within permissible limits. ,
0.4 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this
standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, express-
ing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with
IS : 2-1960*. The number of significant places retained in the rounded
off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.
1. SCOPE
1.1 This standard covers the general structural requirements for all types
of foundations ( shallow, deep and special types ).
2. TERMINOLOGY
2.1 For the purpose of this standard, the definition of terms given in
IS : 2809-19721 shall apply.
3. TYPES OF FOUNDATIONS
3.1 Shallow Foundations - These cover such types of foundations in which
load transference is primarily through shear resista’nce of the bearing strata
( the fractional resistance of soil above bearing strata is not taken into
consideration ) and are laid normally to depth of 3 m.
3.1.1 The various types of shallow foundations are as under:
a) Spread ofpad - pee IS : 1080-1986:.
b) Strip - See IS : 1080-1\986$.
c) Raft foundation - See IS : 2950 ( Part 1 )-19815.
d) Ring and shell foundation --see IS : 11089-19841~ and IS : 94.56-

the loads to a deeper load bearing strata ahen, no adequate bearing strata
exists at shallow depths. The transference of load by a deep foundation
may be through friction, end-bearing or a combination of both.

4. GROUND
4.1 The natural geological deposits over, base rock extending to the
surface level of the earth should be examined.
5. SITE INVESTIGATION
5.1 The investigation of the site is an essential prerequisite to theconstruc- ‘.
tion of all civil engineering works with a view to assess the general suitabi-
lity of the site for the proposed new works and to enable in preparing an
adequate and economic design.
In particular, it is necessary to assess the changes that may occur
during or after the construction of the structure due to the choice of mate-
rials or methods of construction which may adversely affect safety of
structure or after its performance or utility.
5.2 The investigation of the site should be carried out in accordance with
the principles set in IS : 1892-19797. As a preliminary, it is usually
judicious to collect information relating to the site prior to commencing
its exploration. The exploration of the site for an important structure
requires the exploration and sampling of all strata likely to be significantly
affected by the structural load. The extent of this exploration will depend
on the site and structure. In any case, particular attention shall be paid
to the ground water level, underground water courses, old drains, pits,
wells, old foundation, etc, and presence of excessive sulphates or Other

injurious compound in the ground water and soil. The site should also be
explored in detail, where necessary, to ascertain the type consistency, thick-
ness, sequence and dip of the strata.
5.3 Mass movements of the ground are liable to occur from causesinde-
pendent of the loads imposed by the structure. These include mining
subsidence, land slips, unstable slopes and creep on clay slopes.
These factors shall be observed in detail during site investigation and
taken into account in the layout and design of the proposed works.
However, if necessary, expert advice regarding the geological and hydro-
logicai characteristics of the site shall be sought.
5.3.1 Mining subsidence is liable to occur in mining areas. The magni-
tude of the movement and its distribution pver the area of the workings
and their vicinity can be roughly estimated. Where future subsidence is
likely, care should be taken to design the superstructure and foundation
sufficiently strong or sufficiently flexible to cater for probable ground
movements. Long continuous buildings should be avoided and large
building should be divided into independent sections of suitable size, each
with its own foundations. Expert advice from appropriate mining autho-
rity should be sought.
5.3.2 Cuttings, excavations or sloping ground near foundations may
increase the possibility of shear failure in the ground supporting the
foundations.
On sloping ground on clay soils there is always a tendency for the
upper layers of soil to move downhill, the extent, however, depends on the
type of soil, the angle of slope, ground water regime and climatic condi-
tions. Instability may develop even after a long period of apparent
stability, particularly in stiff, fissured and over consolidated clay soil.
Uneven surface of a slope on virgin ground, curved tree trunks,
tilted fence posts, tilted boundary walls, etc, indicate the creep of the sur-
face layers. Areas subject to land slip and unstable slopes shall, therefore,
be avoided.
5.3.3 Some clayey soils are susceptible to shrinkage and cracking in dry
and hot weather, and swelling in wet weather. These conditions are simu-
lated, sometimes, by extraneous agencies like trees, boiler installations,
furnaces, kilns, underground cables, services and refrigeration installations.
These factors shall be studied carefully before designing any foundations.
Shrinkage of clay soils may be increased by the drying effect produced by
nearby trees and shrubs. Swelling may occur, if they are cut down. NO
trees which grow to a large size shall be planted within 8 m of foundations
of buildings.
71S : 1904- 1986
5.3.4 New constructions may interfere with drainage regime of the
ground and affect the stability of existing structure. Adequate precautions
should be taken to protect these. On the uphill side of a building on a
sloping site, land drainage requires special consideration for diverting the
natural flow of water away from the foundations. If excavation involves
cutting through existing land drains, consideraticn should be given for
diverting into the ground-drainage system.
%3.§ Increase in moisture extent results in substantial loss of bearing
capacity in case of certain types of soils which may lead to differential
settiements. On sites liable to be water iogged in wet weather, it is desir-
rable to determine the contour of. the water-table surface in order to
indicate the directions of the natural drainagd and to obtain the basis of
the design of intercepting drains to prevent the influx of ground water into
the site from higher ground. The seasonal variation in the level of the
water table is of importance in some cases. In case of soils with low
permeability, the water levels in boreholes or observation wells may take
a considerable time to reach equilibrium with ground water Spot readings
of Vater level in boreholes may, therefore, give an erroneous impression of
the true ground water level. It is generally determined by measuring the
water level in the borehole after a suitable time lapse for which a period
of 14 hours or more be used as the case may be. In soils with high
permeability, such as sand and gravels, lapse of sometime is ustially suffi-
zient, unless the hole has been sealed with drilling mud. In these cases it
nay be necessary to resort ?o indirect means to estab!ish the approximate
location of the water table. Where deep excavation is required, the
location of water bea,ring strata should be determined with particular care
and the water pressure in each should be observed so that necessary
precautions may be taken during excavation.
5.3.6 In certain localities where considerable quantities of soluble salts
are contained in ground water and soil, portland cement concrete,
especially thin members or buried metals are subjected to deterioration and
corrosion. Certain soils have a corrosive action on metals, particular1.y
on cast iron, due to either chemical or bacteriological agency. In industrial
areas, corrosive action may arise from industrial wastes that have been
dumped on the site. Chemical analysis of samples of ground water or soil
( or sometimes both ) should be done to assess the necessity of speciai
precautions. The following are settle of suggested methods:
a) Dense cement concerete M20 mix or richer may be used to reduce
permeability and increase resistance tc attack from sulphates ( see
I§ : 456-1978” ).
*code of practice for plain and reinforced concrete ( rhird revision ).
8b) Portland pozzolana cement may be used to control and reduce the
activities of the sulphates.
c) Special cements like high alumina cement, super sulphated cement,
which are sulphate resistant, may be used.
d) A thick coating of bitumen may be given over the exposed surfaces
of foundation below the water table to prevent infiltration of water
into the foundation ( see IS : 5871-1970* ).
e) A thick layer of cement concrete (with sulphate resistant cement )
and coated with bitumen be laid before laying of foundation concrete
to prevent infiltration of water from sulphate bearing soil.
NOTE - The soluble salts are usually sulphates of calcium, magncaiuma nd
sodium. Water containing these salts gets into the concrete and reacts with the set
cement or hydraulic lime. This reaction is accompanied by considerable expansion
which leads to the deterioration and cracking of the concrete. The amount of soluble
sulphates may be considered excessive from the point of attack on concrete if it is
more than 30 parts of SO, per 100 000 parts of subsoil water or in the case of clays
if more than 0.2 percent SO, by weight of clay in air-dry condition, which should be
determined by proper analysis.
6. METHODS OF SITE EXPLORATION
6.1 The most common and satisfactory methods of site explorations are
given below:
a) Trial pits,
b) Boring, and
c) Headings.
The details of these methods are given in IS : 1892-1979f.
7. DEPTH OF FOUNDATION
7.1 The depth to which foundations should be carried depends upon the
following principal factors:
The securing of adequate allowable bearing capacity.
In the case of clayey soils, penetration below the zone where shria-
kage and swelling due to seasonal weather changes, and due to trees
and shrubs are likely to cause appreciable movements.
In fine sands and silts, penetration below the zone in which trouble
may b9 expected from frost.

tCode of practice for subsurface investigation for foundation (first revision 1.
9rs:l!xM-1986
a) The maximum depth of scour, wherever relevant, should also be
considered and the foundation should be Iocatqd sufficiently below
this depth.
e) Other factors such as ground movements and heat transmitted from
the building to the supporting ground may be important.
7.2 All foundations shall extend to a depth of at least 50 cm below natu-
ral ground level. On rock or such other weather resisting natural ground,
removal of the top soil may be all that is required. In suchcases, the
surface shall be cleaned and, if necessary, stepped or otherwise prepared so
as to provide a suitable bearing and thus prevent slipping or other
unwanted movements.
7.3 Where there is excavation, ditch, pond, water course, filled up ground
or similar condition adjoining or adjacent to the subsoil on which the
structure is to be erected and which is likely to impair the stability of
structure, either the foundation of such structure shall IX carried down to
a depth beyond the detrimental infiuence of such conditions, or retaining
walls or similar works shall be constructed for the purpose of shielding
from their effects.
7.4 A foundation in any type of soil shall be below the zone significantly
weakened by root holes or cavities produced by burrowing animals or
works. The depth shall also be enough to prevent the rainwater scouring
below the footings.
7.5 Clay soils, like black cotton soils, are seasonally affected by drying,
shrinkage and cracking in dry and hot weather, and by swelling in the
following wet weather to a depth which will vary according to the nature
of the clay and the climatic condition of the region. It is necessary in
these soils, either to place the foundation bearing at such a depth where
the effects of seasonal changes are not important or to make the founda-
tion capable of eliminating the undesirable effects due to relative move-
ment by providing flexible type of construction or rigid foundations.
Adequate load counteraction swelling pressures also provide satisfactory
foundations.
8. FOUNDATION AT DIFFERENT LEVELS
. 8.1W here footings are adjacent to sloping ground or where the bottoms of
the footings of a structure are at different levels or at levels different from
those ,of the footings of adjoining structures, the depth of the footings
shall be such that the difference in footing elevations shall be subject to the
following limitations:
a) When the ground surface slopes downward adjacent to a footing,
the sloping surface shall not intersect a frustum of bearing material
IOIS:1904-1986
under the footing having sides which make an angle of 30” with the
horizontal for soil and horizontal distance from the lower
edge of the footing to the sloping surface shall be at least 60 cm for
rock and 90 cm for soil ( see Fig. 1 ).
b> In the case of footings in granular soil, a line drawn between the
lower adjacent edges of adjacent footings shall not have a steeper
slope than one vertical to two horizontal ( see Fig. 2 ).
4 In case of footing of clayey soils a line drawn between the lower
adjacent edge of the upper footing and< the upper adjacent edge of
lower footing shall not have a steeper slope than one vertical to two
horizontal ( see Fig. 2 ).
8.2 The requirement given in 8.1 shall not apply under the following
conditions:
aj Where adequate provision is made for the lateral support ( such as
with retaining walls ) of the material supporting the higher footing.
b) When the factor of safety of the foundation soil against shearing is
not less than four.
9. EFFECT OF SEASONAL WEATHER CHANGES
- 9.1 During periods of hot, dry weather a deficiency of water develops near
the ground surface and in clay soils, this is associated with a decrease of
volume or ground shrinkage and the development of cracks. The shrinkage
of clay will be increased by drying effect produced by fast growing and
water seeking trees. The range of intluence depends on size and number
of trees and it increases during dry periods. In general, it is desirable that
there shall be a distance of at least g m between such trees. Railer
installations, furnaces, kilns, underground cables and refrigeration
installations and other artificial sources of heat may .also cause increased
volume changes of clay by drying out the ground beneath them, the drying
out can be to a substantial depth. Special precautions either in the form of
insulation or otherwise should be taken. In periods of wet weather, clay
soils swell and the cracks lend to close, the water deficiency developed in
the previous dry periods may be partially replenished and a subsurface
zone or zones deficient in water may persist for many years. Leakage
from water mains and underground sewers may also result in large volume
changes. Therefore, special care must be taken to prevent such leakages.
10. EFFECT OF MASS MOVEMENTS OF GROUND IN UNSTAB]LE
ARRAS
10.0 In certain areas mass movements of the ground are liable to occur
from causes independent of the loads applied by the foundations of

structures. These include mining subsidence, landslips on unstable slopes
and creep on clay slopes.
10.1 Mining Subsidence - In mining areas, subsidence of the ground
beneath a building or any other structure is liable to occur. The magni-
tude of the movement and its distribution over the area are likely to be
uncertain and attention shall, therefore, be directed to make the founda-
tions and structures sufficiently rigid and strong to withstand the probable
worst loading condition. In this connection, reference should also be made
to 5.3.1.
10.2 Landslip Areas
10.2.1 The construction of structures on slopes which are suspected of
being unstable and are subject to landslip shall be avoided.
10.2.2 On Joping ground on clay soils, there is always a tendency for the
upper layers of soil to move downhill, depending on lype of soil, the
angle of slope, climatic conditions, etc. In some cases, the uneven surface
of the slope on a virgin ground bill indicate that the area is subject to
small iand slips and, therefore, if used for foundation, will obviously
necessitate special design consideration.
10.2.3 Where there may be creep of the surface layer of the soil, protec-
tion against creep may be obtained by following special design considera-
tions.
10.2.4 On sloping sites, spread foundations shall be on a horizontal
bearing and stepped. At ail changes of levels, they shall be lapped at the
steps for a distance at least equal to the thickness of the foundation or
twice the height of the step, whichever is greater. The steps sha!l not be of
greater height than the thickness of the foundation, unless special precautions
are taken.
10.2.5 Cuttings, excavations or sloping ground near and below founda-
tion level may increase the possibility of shear failure of the soil. The
foundation shall be well beyond the zone of such shear failure.
10.2.6 If the probable failure surface intersects a retaining wall or other
revetment, the latter shall be made strong enough to resist any unbalanced
thrust. In case of doubt, as to the suitabmty of the natural slopes or
cuttings, the structure shall be kept well away from the top of the slopes,
or,the slopes shall be stabilized.
10.2.7 Cuttings and excavations adjoining foundations reduce stability
and increase the likelihood of differential settlement. Their effect should
be investigated not only when they exist but also when there is possibility
that they are made subsequently.
13Is: 1904-1986
10.2.8 Where a structure is to be placed on sloping ground, additional
complications are introduced. The ground itself, particularly if of clay,
may be subject to creep or other forms of instability, which may be
enhanced if the strata dip in the same direction as the ground surface. If
the slope of the ground is large, the overall stability of the slope and
substructure may be affected. These aspects should be carefully investi-
gated.
11. PRECAUTIONS FOR FOUNDATIONS ON INCLINED STRATA
11.1 In the case of inclined strata, if they dip towards a cutting or base-
ment, it may be necessary to carry foundation below the possible slip planes,
land drainage also requires special consideration, particularly on the uphill
side of a structure to divert the natural flow of water away from the
foundations.
12. STRATA OF VARYING THICENESS
12.1 Strata of varying thickness, even at appreciable depth, may increase
differential settlement. Where necessary, calculations should be made of
the estimated settlement from different thicknesses of strata and the
structure should be designed accordingly. When there is large change of
thickness of soft strata, the stability of foundation may be affected. Site
investigations should, therefore, ensure detection of significant variations in
strata thickness.
13. LAYERS OF SOFTER MATERIAL
13.1 Some soils and rocks have layers of harder material between thin
layers of softer material, which may not be detected unless thorough
investigation is carried out. The softer layers may undergo marked
changes in properties if the loading on them is increased or decreased by
the proposed construction or affected by related changes in ground water
conditions. These should be taken into account.
14. SPACING BETWEEN EXISTING AND NEW FOUNDATION
14.1 The deeper the new foundation and the nearer to the existing it is
located, the greater the damage is likely to be. The minimum horizontal
spacing between existing and new footings shall be equal to the width of
the wider one. While the adoption of such provision shall help minimizing
damage to adjacent foundation, an analysis of bearing capacity and settle-
ment shall be carried out to have an appreciation of the effect on the
adjacent existing foundation.
15. LOADS ON FOUNDATIONS
15.1 Loads on a foundation are those forces imparted by thestructure, it
is supporting, in any of the form (i) vertical either upwards or downwards,
14IS:l!304-1986
(ii) horizontal or lateral, and (iii) moment or couple. The following loads
shall be considered for design of foundations.
151.1 Pemzanent Load - This is the actual service load/sustained load
consisting of dead loads and live loads of a structure which give rise to
stresses and deformations in the soil below foundation causing its
settlement.
15.1.2 Transient Load - This is a momentary or sudden load imparted
to a structure due to wind or seismic vibrations. Due to its transitory
nature, the stresses in the soil below the foundation carried by such loads
are allowed certain percentage increase over the allowable safe values.
15.1.3 Foundations shall be proportioned for the following combination
of loads:
a) Dead load + live load, and
b) Dead load + live load + wind load or seismic load.
15.1.4 Dead load also includes the weight of column/wall, footings,
z,ndations, the overlying fill but excludes the weight of the drsplaced
.
15.1.5 Live loads from the floors above as specified in IS : 875 ( Part 2 )-
1987* shall be taken in proportioning and designing the foundations.
15.16 Where wind or seismic load is less than 25 percent of that due to
dead and live loads, it may be neglected in design and first combination of
load shall be compared with the safe bearing load to satisfy allowable
bearing pressure.
15.1.7 Where wind or seismic load is more than 25 percent of that due
to dead and live loads, foundations may be so proportioned that the
pressure due to combination of load ( that is, dead + live -,‘- wind load )
does not exceed the safe bearing capacity by more than 25 percent. When
seismic forces are considered, the safe bearing capacity shall be increased as
specified in IS : 1893-1984t. In non-cohesive soils, analysis for liquefaction
and settlement under earthquake shall also be made.
16. SETTLEMENT
16.1 Uniform Settlement - The magnitude of the settlement that should
occur, when foundation loads are applied to the ground, depend on the
rigidity of substructure and compressibility of the underlying strata. In
*Code of practice for strucfural safety of buildings : Loading standards : Pati 2
Imposed loads ( second rev&&w
tcriteria for earthquake resistant design of structures (fourrh revision ).
15IS:1904- 1986
silts and clays the settlement may continue for a long period after the
construction of structure. Due allowance shall, therefore, need be made for
this slow consolidation settlement. In sand and gravels, the settlement is
likely to be complete to a great extent by the end of the construction
activities. In strata of organic soils, settlement may continue almost
indefiniteiy. For the safety of foundations, the engineer-in-charge should
be well familiar with all causes of settlement. Foundations may settle
due to some combination of the following reasons:
a) Elastic compression of the foundation material and the underlying
soil;
b) Consolidation including secondary compression;
4 Ground Wufer Lowering-specially repeated lowering and raising of
water level in loose granular soils tend to compact the soil and
cause settlement of the foundations. Prolonged lowering of the
water table in fine grained soils may introduce settlements because
of the extrusion of water from the voids. Pumping water or
draining water by wells or pipes from granular soils without ade-
quate filter material as protection may, in a period of time, carry
a sufficient amount of fine particles away from the soil and cause
settlement;
d) Seasonal swelling and shrinkage of expansive clays;
e) Ground movement on earth slopes, for example, surface erosion,
slow creep or land slides;
f) Other causes, such as adjacent excavation, mining subsidence and
underground erosion by streams or floods; and
g) The effects of vegetation leading to shrinking and swelling of clay
soils.
16.2 Differential Settlements -- The foundations of different elements of a
structure may have unequal settlements and the difference between such
settlements will cause differential settlement. Some of the causes for
differential settlements are as follows:
4 Geologic and physical non-uniformity or anomalies in type,
Qructure, thickness, and density of the soil medium ( pockets of
sand in clay, clay lenses in sand, wedge like soil strata, that is,
lenses in soil ), an admixture of organic matter, peat, mud, etc;
-W
Non-uniform pressure distribution from foundation to the soil
due to non-uniform loading and incomplete loading of the
foundations;
Cl Varying water regime at the construction site;
16IS : 1904 - 1986
d) Over stressing of soil at adjacent site by heavy structures built
next to light ones;
e) Overlap of stress distribution in soil from adjoining structures;
f) Unequal expansion of the soil due to excavation for footings;
g) Non-uniform development of extrusion settlements; and
h) Non-uniform structural disruptions or disturbance of soil due to
freezing and thawing, swelling, softening and drying of soils.
16.3 Criteria for Settlement Analysis for Shallow Foundation
16.3.1 For foundations resting on coarse grained soils, the settlements
shall be estimated corresponding to the load mentioned in 15.1.3(b). since
in such type of soils, settlements occur within a very short period of
loading.
16.3.2 For fine grained soils, the settlements shall be estimated corres-
ponding to permanent loads. Dead load and all fixed equipments are
considered as permanent. Generally, one half of the design live load may
be taken as being permanent. The engineer shall use his judgement in
each project work to determine what loads are permanent and what are
temporary. Therefore, it appears reasonable to reduce the differential
settlement due to live load variation by maintaining equal pressure for all
foundations under the service load. This may be done by the following
procedure:
a) Determine the required bearing area for a column having the
largest live load to dead load ratio. ln the conventional method
of design, the area (A) is given by:
A = -Dead load + live load
. Allowable bearing capacity
b) Compute for this same column the design bearing value
service load
qd = A
c) Determine the area for all other COlUmnS by the use of qd, that is,
Bearing area = SerViCe load iqd
d) For calculation of settlement of foundations, IS : 8009 (Part 1)
-1976 * may be referred.
16.3.3 The total settlement of the foundations shall be not more than
permissible.
*Code of practice for calculation of foundatioos : Part 1 Shallow foundations
subjected to symmetrical static vertical loads.

16.3.4 The permissible value of settlement for different types of structures
are given in Table 1.
16.3.5 Differential settlement and/or tilt ( angular distortion ) of the
structures shall not be more than the permissible values. The diflerential
settlement shall be obtained by taking the difference maximum and minimum
settlement. Tilt shall be calculated by dividing the differential settlement by
the distance between points of related maximum and minimum settlement.
16.4 Settlement Analysis for Deep Foundation
16.4.1. The permissible value of total sett!ement, differential settlement,
and tilt ( angular distortion ) have been specified in the relevant Indian
Standard (see 3). The settlement shall be calculated according to IS : 8009

17.1 The stability of the foundation against sliding and overturning shall
be checked, and the factors of safety shall conform to the following
requirements.
17.1.1 Sliding - The factor of safety against sliding of structures which
resist lateral forces (such as retaining walls) shall be not less than 1a 5 when
dead load, live load and earth pressures are considered together with wind
load or seismic forces. When dead load, live load and earth pressure only
are considered, the factor of safety shall be not less than l-75.
Nore - For structures founded on soils with low frictional coefficient ( that is,
slippery material ), safety against sliding may be improved by providing anchor type
cut-off walls or piles to fake the excess load over that resisted by friction or an
inclined underside of the base.
13.2 Overturning - The factor of safety for shallow foundation against
overturning shall be not less than 1.5 when dead load, live load and earth
pressures are considered together with wind load or seismic forces. When
dead load, live load and earth pressures only are considered, the factor
of safety shall be not less than 2. The tactor of safety of other types of
foundation is covered in relevant Indian Standard ( see 3).

shall be calculated on the basis of soil test data and in the absence of such
data for preliminary design, the local values may serve as guidelines.
19. PRELIMINARY WORK FOR CONSTRUCTION
19.1 The construction of access roads, main sewers and drains should
preferably be completed before commencing the work of foundations;
alternatively, sufficient precautions shall be taken to protect the already
constructed foundations during subsequent work.
19.2 Clearance of Site - Any obstacles, including the stump of trees,
likely to interfere with the work shall be removed. Holes left by digging,
such as those due to removal of old foundation, uprooted trees, burrowing
by animals, etc, shall be back-filled with soil and well compacted.
19.3 Drainage - If the site of a structure is such that surface water shall
drain towards it, land may be dressed or drains l,lid ?o divert the water
away from t!le site.
19.4 Setting Out -. Generally the site shall be levelled before the layout
of foundations are set out. In case of sloping terrain, care shall be taken
to ensure that the dimensions on plans are set out correctly in one or
more horizontal planes.
19.5 The layout of foundations shall be set out with steel tapes. Angle!:
should be set out with theodolites in the case of important and mlricate
structures where the length of area exceeds 16 m. In other cases ihese
shall be set out by measurement of sides. Jn rectangular or square setting
out, diagonals shall be checked to ensure accuracy. The setting out of
walls shall be facilitated by permanent row of pillars, parallel to and at a
suitable distance beyond the periphery of the building. The pillars shall
be located at junctions of cross walls with the penphera! line of pillars.
The centre lines of the cross walls shall be extended to and permanently
erected on the plastered tops of the corresponding sets of pillars.- The
datum lines parallel to and at the known fixed distance from the centre
lines of the external walls also be permanently worked on the correspond-
ing rows of pillars to pillars to serve as checks on the accuracy of the work
as it proceeds. The tops of these pillars shall be at the same level and
preferably at the plinth or floor level. The pillars shall be of sizes not !ess
Phan 25 cm wide and shall be bedded sufficiently deep into ground so that
they are not disturbed.
20. PROTECTION OF EXCAVATION
20.1 The protection of excavation during construction of timbering and
20Is:1904-1986
dewatering operations, where necessary, shall be done in accordance with
IS : 3764-1966*.
20.2 After excavation, the bottom of the excavation shall be cleared of
all loose soil and rubbish and shall be levelled, where necessary. The bed
shall be wetted and compacted by heavy rammers to an even surface.
20.3 Excavation in clay or o.ther soils that are liable to be effected by
exposure to atmosphere shall, wherever possible, be concreted as soon as
they are dug. Alternatively the bottom of the excavation shall be protected
immediately by 8 cm thick layer of cement concrete not leaner than mix
1 : 5 : 10 over which shall come the foundation concrete; or in order to
obtain a dry hard boftom, the last excavation of about 10 cm shall be
removed only before concreting.
20.4 The refilling of the excavation shall he done with care so as not to
disturb the constructed foundation, and shall be compacted in layers not
exceeding 15 cm thick with sprinkling of minimum quantity of water
necessary for proper. compaction.

4.1 Evaluation of sag resistance is essential in quality
controlforbothproducersandpurchasersofcoatings.Practical
application tests are poor in reproducibility, while viscometric
methods, for example Test Methods D2196, are time-
consuming and lack the convincing aspect of actual sagging.

vIntroduction
This standard covers the requirements and method for evaluating the performance of valves when they are
exposed to defined fire conditions. The performance requirements establish limits of acceptability of a valve,
regardless of size or pressure rating. The burn period has been established to represent the maximum time
required to extinguish most fires. Fires of longer duration are considered to be of major magnitude with
consequences greater than those anticipated in the test. The test pressure during the burn is set at 0.2 MPa (30
psig) for nonmetallic seated valves rated Class 150 and Class 300 to better simulate the conditions that would be
expected in a process plant when a fire is detected and pumps are shut down. In this case, the source of pressure
in the system is the hydrostatic head resulting from liquid levels in towers and vessels. This situation is
approximated by this lower test pressure.
In production facilities, valves are typically of a higher rating and the pressure source is not easily reduced when a
fire is detected. Therefore, for all other valves, the test pressure during the burn is set at a higher value to better
simulate the expected service conditions in these facilities. Use of this standard assumes that the execution of its
provisions is entrusted to appropriately qualified and experienced personnel because it calls for procedures that
may be injurious to health if adequate precautions are not taken. This standard refers only to technical suitability
and does not absolve the user from legal obligations relating to health and safety at any stage of the procedure.Fire Test for Quarter-turn Valves and Valves Equipped with Nonmetallic Seats
1 Scope
This standard specifies fire type-testing requirements and a fire type-test method for confirming the
pressure-containing capability of quarter-turn valves and other valves with nonmetallic seating under pressure
during and after the fire test. It does not cover the testing requirements for valve actuators other than manually
operated gear boxes or similar mechanisms when these form part of the normal valve assembly. Other types of
valve actuators (e.g. electrical, pneumatic, or hydraulic) may need special protection to operate in the
environment considered in this valve test, and the fire testing of such actuators is outside the scope of this
standard.
NOTE For the purposes of this standard, the terms “fire type-test” and “fire test” are synonymous.
2 Normative References
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references,
only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including
any amendments) applies.
API Standard 598, Valve Inspection and Testing
IEC 60584-2, Thermocouples: Tolerance Values of the Thermoelectric Voltages
3 Terms and Definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
asymmetric seated valve
Valve with an internal construction that has no plane of symmetry perpendicular to the axis of the body ends.
NOTE This is a valve with a single seat offset from the shaft centerline.
3.2
Class
An alphanumeric designation that is used for reference purposes related to valve pressure-temperature
capability, taking into account valve material mechanical properties and valve dimensional characteristics. It
comprises the letters Class followed by a dimensionless whole number. The number following the letters Class
does not represent a measurable value and is not used for calculation purposes except where specified in this
standard. The allowable pressure for a valve having a Class number depends on the valve material and its
application temperature and is to be found in tables of pressure-temperature ratings.
3.3
DN
An alphanumeric designation of size that is common for components used in a piping system, used for reference
purposes, comprising the letters DN followed by a dimensionless number indirectly related to the physical size of
the bore or outside diameter of the end connection, as appropriate. The dimensionless number following DN does
not represent a measurable value and is not used for calculation purposes except where specified in this
standard.
3.4
NPS
An alphanumeric designation of size that is common for components used in a piping system, used for reference
purposes, comprising the letters NPS followed by a dimensionless number indirectly related to the physical size
12 API STANDARD 607
of the bore or outside diameter of the end connection, as appropriate. The dimensionless number may be used as
a valve size identifier without the prefix NPS. The dimensionless size identification number does not represent a
measurable value and is not used for calculation purposes.
3.5
symmetric seated valve
Valve with an internal construction that has a plane of symmetry perpendicular to the axis of the body ends.
NOTE This is a valve where both seat sealing elements are identical.
4 Test Conditions
4.1 Direction and Conditions for Valves to Be Tested
4.1.1 Symmetric seated valves intended by the manufacturer for bidirectional installation shall be tested in one
direction only.
4.1.2 Asymmetric seated valves intended by the manufacturer for bidirectional installation shall be tested by
carrying out the burn test procedure twice, once in each direction of the potential installation. The same valve may
be refurbished and re-tested, or another, identical, valve may be tested in the other direction.
4.1.3 Valves intended solely for unidirectional installation shall be clearly and permanently marked as such and
shall be tested in the stated direction of installation.
4.1.4 If the valve being tested is fitted with a gearbox or other such manual device, then only that particular
assembly shall qualify. If a valve can be supplied with or without a gearbox, testing with a gearbox fitted shall
qualify valves without a gearbox but not the converse. Grease may be removed from a gearbox prior to testing for
safety purposes.
4.1.5 Valves (and gearboxes) shall not be protected with insulation material of any form during testing, except
where such protection is part of the design of the component(s).
4.1.6 Prior to initiating the test, inspection requirements and testing by the valve manufacturer shall have been
completed on the valve in accordance with API Standard 598 or applicable production testing.
4.2 Pressure Relief Provision
If the valve under test incorporates a pressure relief device as part of its standard design and if this device
activates during the fire test, then the test shall be continued and any leakage to atmosphere from the device shall
be measured and counted as external leakage. If the design is such that the device vents to the downstream side
of the valve, then any leakage shall be counted as through-seat leakage (see 5.6.12 and 5.6.14). However, the
test shall be stopped if the system pressure relief device described in 5.3.2.8 activates.
5 Fire Test Method
5.1 General Warning
Fire testing of valves is potentially hazardous, and it is essential that the safety of personnel be given prime
consideration. Given the nature of the fire test and the possibility of weaknesses in the design of the test valve
and test equipment, hazardous rupture of the pressure boundary could occur. Adequate shields in the area of the
test enclosure and other appropriate means for the protection of personnel are necessary.
5.2 Principle
A closed valve completely filled with water under pressure is completely enveloped in flames with an
environmental temperature in the region of the valve of 750 °C to 1000 °C (1400 °F to 1800 °F) for a period of 30FIRE TEST FOR QUARTER-TURN VALVES AND VALVES EQUIPPED WITH NONMETALLIC SEATS 3
minutes. The objective is to completely envelop the valve in flames to ensure that the seat and sealing areas are
exposed to the high burn temperature. The intensity of the heat input shall be monitored using thermocouples and
calorimeter cubes as specified in 5.6.9 and 5.6.10. During this period, the internal and external leakage is
recorded. After cooldown from the fire test, the valve is tested to assess the pressure-containing capability of the
valve shell, seats, and seals.
5.3 Apparatus
5.3.1 General
The test equipment shall not subject the valve to externally applied stress affecting the results of the test.
Schematic diagrams of recommended systems for fire type-testing of valves are given in Figure 1. Potential
pipework-to-valve end connection joint leakage is not evaluated as part of the test and is not included in the
allowable external leakage (see 6.3 and 6.6). For the purposes of this test, it may be necessary to modify these
joints to eliminate leakage. The test equipment shall be designed so that if the nominal diameter of the pipework
situated immediately upstream of the test valve is larger than DN 25 or one-half the DN of the test valve, the
pipework shall be enveloped in flames for a minimum distance of 150 mm (6 in.) from the test valve. The diameter
of the upstream pipework shall be sufficient to deliver a flow rate in excess of the maximum allowable leak rate for
the size of the valve being tested. The pipework downstream of the test valve shall be at least DN 15 and shall be
inclined so that the downstream side is fully drained. The flame source shall be at least 150 mm (6 in.) minimum
away from the valve or any calorimeters and should have sufficient capacity to completely envelop the valve in
flames. The enclosure containing the valve shall provide a horizontal clearance of a minimum of 150 mm (6 in.)
between any part of the test valve and the enclosure, and the height of the enclosure above the top of the test
valve shall be a minimum of 150 mm (6 in.).
5.3.2 Specific Apparatus
5.3.2.1 Vapor trap to minimize the cooling effect of the upstream liquid. See Figure 1, (8).
5.3.2.2 Industrial pressure measurement devices having a full-scale reading of between 1.5 and 4 times the
pressure being measured. The accuracy of each test device used at any point on the scale shall be within 3 % of
its maximum scale value for readings taken both up and down the scale with either increasing or decreasing
pressure. See Figure 1, (7) (14).
5.3.2.3 Calorimeter cubes made of carbon steel in accordance with the design and dimensions shown in
Figure 2, with a thermocouple of the accuracy specified in 5.3.2.4, located in the center of each cube. Calorimeter
cubes shall be scale free before exposure to the fire environment.
5.3.2.4 Flame environment and valve body thermocouples of an accuracy at least equal to tolerance class 2
for type B or tolerance class 3 for other types as specified in IEC 60584-2. See Figure 1, (13).
5.3.2.5 Containers of a size suitable for collecting the water leaked from the valve under test. See Figure 1, (18).
5.3.2.6 Calibrated sight gauge or device for measuring the water used during the test. See Figure 1, (4).
5.3.2.7 Calibrated device for measuring the leakage water collected during the test.
5.3.2.8 Pressure relief provision, incorporated in the system, consisting of a pressure relief valve to relieve the
test valve center cavity pressure to the atmosphere, to protect against potential rupture of the valve if it is
designed such that liquid can be trapped in the cavity. See Figure 1, (14). The pressure relief valve setting shall be
either a) that determined by the valve manufacturer from data obtained by hydrostatic pressure testing of valves
of the same size and type as the fire-tested valve or b) when pressure test data are not available, a setting not
greater than 1.5 times the maximum allowable working pressure at 20 °C (70 °F). The maximum allowable
working pressure depends on materials, design, and working temperatures and is to be selected from the tables
of pressure-temperature ratings given in the appropriate standards such as ASME B16.34.4 API STANDARD 607

5.4 Test Fluid
The test fluid used shall be water.
5.5 Test Fuel
The test fuel shall be gaseous.
5.6 Procedure
NOTE The numbered items in parentheses refer to the apparatus of Figure 1.6 API STANDARD 607
5.6.1 Mount the test valve in the test apparatus so that the stem and bore of the valve are in the horizontal
position. Mount a valve that operates in only one direction (unidirectional) in their normal operating position.
Locate the flame environment, body thermocouples, and calorimeter cubes in the positions shown in Figures 3
and 4, as appropriate. For nonmetallic seated valves up to DN 100 or NPS 4 and pressure ratings up to Class
300, use two flame environment thermocouples and two body thermocouples and calorimeter cubes as shown in
Figure 3. For all other valves, use two flame environment thermocouples and two calorimeter cubes as shown in

5.6.2 With the test valve in the partially open position, open the water supply valve (5), the shut-off valve (6), the
vent valves (16), and the shut-off valve (15) to flood the system and purge the air. When the system is completely
filled with water, close the shut-off valve (15), the vent valves (16), and the water supply valve (5). Pressurize the
system with water to a test pressure of 1.4 times the maximum allowable working pressure at 20 °C (70 °F)—the
actual test pressure may be rounded up to the next highest bar1. Check for leaks in the test apparatus and
eliminate as necessary. Release the pressure, close the test valve, and open the shut-off valve (15).
5.6.3 If the valve under test is of the upstream sealing type, determine the volume of water that is trapped
between the upstream seat seal and the downstream seat seal when the valve is closed. Record this volume. It is
assumed that, during the fire type-test, this volume of water will flow through the valve and pass the downstream
seat seal to be collected in the container (18). Since this volume has not actually leaked through the upstream
seat seal, it is deducted from the total volume collected in the downstream container when determining the
through-seat leakage (see 5.6.11).
5.6.4 Pressurize the system to one or the other of the following pressures, as appropriate:
a) for nonmetallic seated valves rated Class 150 and Class 300, the low test pressure at 0.2 MPa (30 psig);
b) for all other valves, the high test pressure at 75 % of the maximum permissible seat working pressure at 20 °C
(70 °F). Maintain this test pressure during the burn and cool-down periods, momentary pressure losses of up
to 50 % of the test pressure being permitted provided that the pressure recovers within 2 minutes and the
cumulative duration is less than 2 minutes.
5.6.5 Record the reading on the calibrated sight gauge or device (4). Empty the container (18).
5.6.6 Adjust the test system, excluding the test valve, during the test period to maintain the temperatures and
pressures required.
5.6.7 Open the fuel supply, establish a fire, and monitor the flame environment temperature throughout the burn
period of 30 minutes, +5, −0 minutes. Check that the average temperature of the two flame environment
thermocouples (13) reaches 750 °C (1400 °F) within 2 minutes from the start of the burn period, i.e. from ignition
of the burners. Maintain the average temperature between 750 °C and 1000 °C (1400 °F to 1800 °F), with no
reading less than 700 °C (1300 °F) for the remainder of the burn period of 30 minutes.
5.6.8 If cavity pressure exceeds the stated manufacturer’s allowable pressure, the test shall end and be
reported as an invalid test.
5.6.9 The average temperature of the calorimeter cubes shall be 650 °C (1200 °F) within 15 minutes of starting
the burn period. For the remainder of the burn period, maintain the minimum average temperature of 650 °C
(1200 °F), with no temperature falling to less than 560 °C (1000 °F). For valves subjected to the low-pressure test
(see 5.6.4), the body thermocouple shall maintain 590 °C (1100 °F) for at least 5 minutes and the bonnet
thermocouple shall maintain 650 °C (1200 °F) for at least 15 minutes of the burn period. The burn period may be
extended by up to 5 minutes in order to achieve this requirement.

5.6.10 Record instrument readings (7), (12), (13), (14) every 30 seconds during the burn period. Thermocouples
should be numbered, and individual records of temperature shall be recorded.
5.6.11 At the end of the burn period (30 minutes, +5, −0 minutes), shut off the fuel supply.
5.6.12 Immediately determine the amount of water collected in the container (18) and establish the total
through-seat leakage during the burn period. If the test valve is an upstream sealing type (see 5.6.3), deduct the
volume of water trapped between the upstream seat seal and the downstream seat seal. Continue collecting
water in the container (18) for use in establishing the external leakage rate of the test valve during the burn and
cool-down periods.
5.6.13 Within 5 minutes of extinguishing the fire, force-cool the test valve with water so that its external surface
temperature remains below 100 °C (212 °F); the time for cooling shall not exceed 10 minutes. Record the time
taken to force-cool the external surface of the valve below 100 °C (212 °F).
Warning—The internal parts of the valve could remain at significantly higher temperatures than the
external surface of the valve.
5.6.14 Check and adjust the test pressure in accordance with 5.6.4. Record the readings on the sight gauge (4)
and determine the quantity of water in the container (18). Record any leakage through the external pressure relief
device if fitted as part of the standard design. The figures are used to calculate the total external leakage
throughout the burn and cool-down periods.

5.6.15 For valves Class 600 and lower, decrease or stabilize the pressure to the low test pressure at 0.2 MPa
(30 psig) and measure the through-seat leakage over a 5-minute period.
5.6.16 Increase or stabilize the test pressure to the high test pressure, close the shut-off valve (15), and operate
the test valve against the test pressure to the fully open position.
5.6.17 Stabilize the pressure to the high test pressure and measure the external leakage over a 5-minute period.
6 Performance
6.1 General
Valves tested in accordance with 5 shall be in accordance with 6.2 to 6.7.
6.2 Through-seat Leakage During Burn Period
For the low-pressure test, the average through-seat leakage at low test pressure during the burn period (see
5.6.11) shall not exceed the value given in Table 1. For the high-pressure test, the average through-seat leakage
at high test pressure during the burn period (see 5.6.11) shall not exceed the value given in Table 1.
6.3 External Leakage During Burn and Cool-down Periods
For the low-pressure test, the average external leakage, not including through-seat leakage, during the burn and
cool-down periods (see 5.6.13) shall not exceed the value given in Table 1. For the high-pressure test the
average external leakage, not including through-seat leakage, during the burn and cool-down periods (see
5.6.13) shall not exceed the value given in Table 1.FIRE TEST FOR QUARTER-TURN VALVES AND VALVES EQUIPPED WITH NONMETALLIC SEATS 9
6.4 Low-pressure Test Through-seat Leakage After Cooldown
The maximum through-seat leakage shall not exceed the value given in Table 1.
6.5 Operability
After the completion of fire testing, the operability of the valve shall be checked. While the valve is in the closed
position, the full test pressure (5.6.4) shall be applied against the closure member. The valve shall be cycled from
the fully closed to the fully open position using the operator fitted to the test valve. Due to the temperature of the
test, high pressures within the valve may be at a level that may compromise the pressure boundary integrity.
Extension handles are allowed to protect the operating personnel from risks associated with potential loss of
containment during the valve operation. The use of extension handles shall not result in an applied torque that is
higher than that available from the fitted operator.
6.6 External Leakage Following Operational Test
The average external leakage of the valve in the open position at the high test pressure (see 5.6.16) shall not
exceed the value given in Table 1.

7 Qualification of Other Valves by Representative Size, Pressure Rating, and
Materials of Construction
7.1 General
Instead of testing each nominal size and nominal pressure rating of a given valve design, all valves of the same
basic design (type, model, and/or configuration), as the test valve, may be deemed to have been fire-tested,
subject to the following limitations.
a) A test valve may be used to qualify valves larger than the test valve but not exceeding twice the nominal size
of the test valve (see 7.3). A size DN 200 or NPS 8 test valve qualifies all larger sizes. If the minimum size of
a given range of valves is greater than DN 200 or NPS 8, then the minimum size of the range shall be tested to
qualify all sizes.
b) A DN 50 (NPS 2) valve may be used to qualify all smaller sizes of valve of the same types. If the maximum size
of a given range of valves is smaller than DN 50 or NPS 2, then the maximum size of the range shall be tested
to qualify all sizes.
c) A test valve may be used to qualify valves with higher Class ratings but not exceeding twice the Class rating of
the test valve, except as shown in Tables 3 and 4.
d) A reduced bore (or Venturi pattern) test valve may be used to qualify a smaller nominal size full bore (or
regular pattern) valve when the components associated with the obturator, seat seals, and stem are identical
in design and size. In such a case, the permissible average leakage rates are those applicable to the full bore
(or regular pattern) valve.
e) The type of valve body ends is not considered by this standard. However, the mass of the valve is determined
in part by the body end type. For qualification to the present standard, and providing that all other qualification
criteria have been met, valves with ends different to those of the test valve may also qualify provided that their
mass is greater than that of the test valve or their mass is not less than 75 % of that of the test valve.
7.2 Materials of Construction
7.2.1 For the purposes of product compliance certification or type testing systems, the materials of construction
of the pressure-retaining envelope of the valve shall be deemed to qualify other materials of construction within
the generic classifications below:
— ferritic,
— austenitic,
— duplex.
7.2.3 If a range of valves is covered by testing of ferritic test valves then the type-testing coverage may be
extended to cover austenitic or duplex materials by carrying out a further test on a single valve of each material.
For product lines NPS 2 and below, the valve shall be of the maximum size of the product range. For those where
the product line extends to larger sizes, the valve shall be equal to or greater than the median size in the ferritic
testing. Other materials of construction of the pressure-retaining envelope of the valve require full testing of
representative size and pressure ratings as specified in 7.3 and 7.4.12 API STANDARD 607
7.2.4 Alloy steel bolting (e.g. B7, L7) used as part of the valve’s pressure-retaining envelope may be used to
qualify austenitic steel bolting but not vice versa.
7.2.5 Any change in nonmetallic materials with respect to the seat-to-closure member seal, seat-to-body seal,
stem seal, and body joint seal require a re-qualification. Filled PTFE, however, may qualify non-filled PTFE and
vice versa.
7.3 Qualification of Valves by Nominal Size
The valves of other nominal sizes that may be deemed to have been fire type-tested relative to the actual valve
tested are given in Tables 2 and 3.
7.4 Qualification of Valves by Pressure Rating
The valves of other Classes that may be deemed to have been fire type-tested relative to the actual valve tested
are given in Table 4.

9.1 Safety Precautions:
9.1.1 Becauseofthetoxicityofcyanide,exercisegreatcare
in its handling. Acidification of cyanide solutions produces
toxic gaseous hydrocyanide acid (HCN). Perform all
manipulations in the hood so that any HCN that might
volatilize is safely vented.
9.1.2 Some of the reagents used in these methods, such as
cyanide solutions, are highly toxic. Dispose of these reagents
and their solutions properly.
9.1.3 Do not pipet by mouth.
9.2 Operational Precautions—This test method requires
practice and manual dexterity. The following practices have
been found necessary to obtain reliable test results:
9.2.1 Keep the samples in the dark because light can
dissociate complex cyanides and lead to high values. FIG.2ExampleofCalibrationCurveforCN−
9.2.2 Run the samples at least in duplicate.

costly to produce multiple specimens which have uniform
physical properties. Therefore, since specimens which would
yield the same test results cannot be tested, Subcommittee
