IS 6532 : 1972 Code of practice for design, installation, observation and maintenance of uplift pressure pipes for hydraulic structures on permeable foundations

1 Scope

1.1 This standard covers design, installation, observation andmaintenance of uplift pressure pipes provided for hydraulicstructures-resting on permeable foundations. This is essentially asystem for measurement of uplift pressures at the contacts of thestructures and the foundation soils.

1.1.1 The principles, however, may also be applied to otherstructures (such as spillway aprons, head regulators, pump houseson lift channels and other appurtenant structures) resting onpermeable foundations, where uplift pressures and excessive exitgradients are likely to develop.
