Dams and Reservoirs Sectional Committee, WRD 9

FOREWORD

This Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, afler the draft finalized by the Dams andReservoirs Sectional Committee had been approved by the Water Resources Division Council.

The contraction joints in masonry and concrete dams provide passages through the dam which unless sealed,would permit the leakage of water from the reservoir to the downstream face. To check this leakage, water-stopsare installed in the joints adjacent to the upstream face. The recent advances in the manufacturing of PVC haveincreased confidence in the use of this material for water-stops in dams. This standard has been formulated tocover the complete specification for PVC water-stops used in the masonry and concrete dams. The method ofuse of such water-stops has been covered in IS 12200:2001 Code of practice for provision of water-stops attransverse contraction joints in masonry and concrete dams.There is no 1S0 standard on the subject. This standard has been prepared based on the data received fromindigenous manufacturers and also taking into consideration the practices prevalent in the field in India.

The Composition of the Committee responsible for the formulation of this standard is given in Annex E.

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 withIS 2: 1960 Rules for rounding off numerical values (revise~. The number of significant places retained in therounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.

ANNEX A

[Table 1, S2No. (iv), col 4]TEST FOR WATER ABSORPTION

A-1 TEST SPECIMENS

Three specimens shall be tested. The specimen shallbe of size 50 mm x 20 mm and of full thickness. Thespecimen shall be taken from the flat portion betweenany two ribs of the water-stops.

A-2 APPARATUS

A-2.1 Balance, with an accuracy of + 1 mg.

A-2.2 Oven, capable of being controlled at 50 + 2C.

A-2.3 Containers, containing distilled water, or waterof equivalent purity.

A-2.4 Desiccator

A-2.5 Vernier Caliper

A-3 PROCEDURE

A-3.1 Dry the specimens for 24 + lh in the ovencontrolled at 50 + 2C, allow to cool to ambienttemperature in the desiccator and weigh each specimento the nearest 1 mg (ml). Then place the specimen in

a container containing distilled water controlledat 27 * 2C.

A-3.2 After immersion for 24+ 1h, take the specimensout from water and remove all surface water with aclean, dry cloth or with filter paper. Re-weigh thespecimens to the nearest 1 mg within 1 min of takingthem out from water (m2).

A-4 RESULTS

Calculate the water absorption for each specimen as apercentage by mass of initial mass, by the followingformula:

.Dxlooml

where

m, = mass of dry specimen, andmz = mass of specimen after immersion in

water.

Take the average value of water absorption for threespecimens.

ANNEX B

[Table 1, S1 No. (vi), col 4]ACCELERATED EXTRACTION TEST

B-1 Conformance shall be detemnined on the averagetensile strength and elongation values for 5 specimensthat have been subjected to the accelerated extractiontreatment.

B-2 The extraction treatment shall be done as follows:

a) The specirlens shall be weighed and thentotally immersed, in a solution consisting of5.0 g CP (crystalline pure) sodium hydroxideand 5.0 g CP potassium hydroxide dissolvedin a litre of distilled water. The solution,which shall be renewed daily, shall bemaintained at 60-66C and shall have airbubbled through it at the rate ofapproximately 380 bubbles per minute. After14 days of this treatment, the specimens shall

be removed daily, rinsed with water, surfacedried, air dried for 10 min and weighed, andthen placed again in a fresh solutionmaintained at 60-66C temperature. Thedaily treatment shall be continued either forthe period necessary for the weight to becomeconstant (constant weight shall be assumedif the weight change in 3 consecutive daysdoes not exceed 0.05 percent of originalweight, or for a total period of 90 days(inclusive of first 14 days), whichever periodis shorter.

b) After this treatment, tensile strength andelongation test shall be carried out asdescribed in IS 8543 (Part 4/See 1).

C-2 For the test the specimens shall be weighedtogether, not singly, to the nearest milligram. Hardnessshall be measured in accordance with IS 13360(Part 5/See 11).C-3 The alkali treatment shall be done as follows:

The specimens shall be totally immersed in a solution

consisting of 5.0 g CP (crystalline pure) sodiumhydroxide and 5.0 g CP potassium hydroxide dissolvedin one Iitre of distilled water. The solution shall bemaintained at 21-24C and shall be replaced every7 days with fresh solution at the same temperature.At 7 and at 28 days the specimens shall be removed,rinsed with water, surface dried, air dried for 10 rein,and then checked for changes in weight anddimension. At 7 days, it shall also be checked for anychange in hardness. Weight changes shall be recordedas a percentage of the original weight and hardnesschange in durometer units.
