Ctice For I Planning A Ign of Ports and Harbours: Indian Standard
c ’ .“.,
( Second Revision)
@ BIS 1989
FOREWORD
This Indian Standard ( Part 4 ) ( Second Revision ) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian
Standards on 17 February 1989, after the draft finalized by the Ports and Harbours Sectional
Committee had been’approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council.
This standard was first published in 1969 covering design and construction aspects of sheet pile
retaining walls, the provisions of which are now being‘covered in separate series relating to design
and construction of ports and harbours. Subsequently, this standard was revised in 1979 to cover
general design consideration of ports and harbour structures. This standard is one of the series
of standards formulated to cover various aspects of foundations for marine structures.
The revision of this standard has been taken up to incorporate further modifications necessary in
the light of comments received from the users of this standard. Clauses on method of design have
been modified keeping in view the fact that the load factor method is replaced by the limit state
method in IS 456 : 1978 ‘Code of practice for plain and reinforced concrete’. Also the clause
specifying the requirements of concrete has been updated.
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 ( r&red)‘. The number
of significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified
value in this standard.

Standards, Act, 1986 and the Rules and Regulations made thereunder. The Standard Mark on
products covered by an Indian Standard conveys the assurance that they have been produced
to comply with the requirements of that standard under a well defined system of inspection,
testing and quality control which is devised and supervised by BIS and operated by the pro-
ducer. Standard marked products are also continuously checked by BIS for conformity to
that standard as a further safeguard. Details of conditions under which a licence for the use
of the Standard Mark may be granted to manufacturers or producers may be obtained from
the Bureau of Indian Standards.
