IS 12208 : 1987 Method for measurement of earth pressure by hydraulic pressure cell

1 Scope

1.1 This code deals with measuring the total pressure inearthfills, dams, embankment as well as pressures on the surface ofretaining walls, bridge abutments, etc, by using the technique ofbalancing the fluid pressure in the cell by a pressure applied tothe reverse side of the transducer diaphragm. The same method mayalso be utilized with slight modification for measuring themagnitude of stresses on tunnel linings rock and concrete massesand other structures inclusive of hydraulic ones.
