| 1 | The construction of canals involves a variety of earthwork problems. Because of the great longitudinal extent of the work, many different kinds of conditions are encountered which should be treated differently for maximum economy reasons. Moreover, design of a work is based on assumptions regarding the quality of work which will be obtained during construction. These assumptions hold good only if the materials used and the work as actually executed are according to the specifications which are known to give desired results. This standard describes methods for carrying out projects for excavation and construction of embankments on canals. | |
| 2 | This revision (second revision) has been brought out to bring the standard in the latest style and format of the Indian Standards. In addition, the following major changes have been incorporated: a) Reference shall be made to the safety precautions for the use of explosives in accordance with the latest provisions of the Indian Explosives Rules, 2008, which supersedes the earlier Indian Explosives Rules, 1940, and as amended from time to time; and b) Annex A has been revised to recommend avoiding the use of organic soils in embankment construction. | |
