Ctice For I Planning A Ign of Ports and Harbours: Indian Standard
c ’ .“.,
( Second Revision)
@ BIS 1989
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.
