This Indian Standard ( First Revision ) was
adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on
1 September 1988, after the draft finalized by the
Waterproofiing and Damp-proofiing Sectional
Committee had been approved by the Civil
Engineering Division Council.
0.2 During the construction of under round
Water reservoirs and concrete swimming p %l Is, it
is essential to ensure the wateretightness of the
resulting structures so that the flow of water from
inside the structure to outside, and the infiltration
of water from the surrounding soil into the
structure are effectively prevented. This standard
is intended to provide guidance to the engineers,
contractors and others engaged in building
activity in the methods to be adopted for the
construction of water-tight underground reservoirs
and swimming pools.
0.2.1 This standard lays down provisions
relating to membrane type of waterproofing
including certain other provisions relating to
construction technique, the quality of material,
SCOPE
1.1 This standard lays down the procedure to be
followed and the precautions to be taken during
the construction of underground water reservoirs
and swimming pools SO as to ensure the watertightness
of the resulting structure. Method of
maintenance and rectification of defects noticed
during the construction are also covered in this
standard.
2. REQUIREMENTS OF STRUCTURE,
DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION DETAILS
2.1 Requirements for Swimming Pools and
Underground Reservoirs - These structures
should be built so as to comply with the requirements
of the best practice pertaining to reinforced
concrete, plain concrete or such other form of
concrete construction as may be employed
