The size of weep holes shall be 100 mm to 150 mm PVC (flexible) pipes and shall be embedded at 10° down from the horizontal towards valley side toeffective- ly drain the water from ground. 65.3 Impervious silty soil layer or back-fill of about 300 mm thickness shall be provided on the top to prevent seepage of rain water in the back-fill or into the foundation of buildings on terraces (see Fig. 3). However, the back-fill shall be of self- draining material (coarse sand, gravel and boulder), free of fines. 64 Natural gullies shall be diverted away from ‘de building site so that flow of rain water does not cause erosion of breast walls on topmost terrace. Grass turfing shall be laid on the ground slope to prevent erosion. 65.5 Catch water drains shall be avoided near the top of the breast walls as they allow seepage of water in unmaintained conditiions into the cut slope and destabilize it. If necessary, catch water Grains may be provided far away from breast walls for above reasons. A catch water drain shall be provided at the toe of the breast wall to collect ‘water from weep holes and surface runoff of the slope. 646 Erosion Control of Toe of Retaining Walls ‘The rain water flows at a high speed from high retaining walls (>3 m). ‘This may lead to toe erosion of soft rocks (shale/sand rock/con. glomerate, etc) at the foundation. So dry stone pitching may be done as shown in Fig, 3. Stones of 150 mm size may be laid on slope for a distance of 1 m below the toe of retaining walls.IS 14458 (Part 2) : 1997 IS No. 875 (Part 1) : 1987 (Part 2) :1987 (Part 3) : 1987 (Part 4) :1987 (Past 5): 1987 1080 : 1986 Title Criteria for earthquake resistant design of structures (fourth revision) Code of practice for design and construction of foundations in soils: General requirements (third revision) ANNEX A.
