Standards
This Code specifies guidelines for excavations and foundations for building construction. These include temporary and permanent excavation for foundation, drainage system, utilities – water supply systems, sanitation systems, electrical cabling, etc., reservoirs and swimming pools. This Code shall apply for low and medium rise buildings. Prescriptive methods for timber pile foundations are also considered. Comprehensive design methods involving the application of engineering calculations are not within the scope of this Code.
This code gives recommendations for the design, location, construction, and maintenance of VIP Latrine as a sanitary household solution for human excreta.
The code is applicable to individual housing units or institutions where each unit is designed to serve an equivalent of 5 persons living per day.
This terminology is a compilation of definitions of technical terms used in the plastic piping industry. Terms that are generally understood or adequately defined in other readily available sources are not included. When a term is used in an ASTM document for which Committee F17 is responsible it is included only when judged, after review , by Subcommittee F17.91 to be a generally usable term.
This standard establishes the basic principles for carrying out vibration measurement and processing data, with regard to evaluating vibration effects on buildings. The evaluations of the effects of building vibration are primarily directed at structural response, and include appropriate analytical methods where the frequency, duration and amplitude can be defined. It only deals with the measurement of structural vibration and excludes the measurement of airborne sound pressure and other pressure fluctuations.
This standard defines working positions and makes it possible to locate welds in space with reference to the horizontal reference plane (usually parallel to the workshop floor) by means of angles of slope and rotation which are independent from surrounding construction.
This standard gives recommendations on the serviceability of buildings against vibrations. It covers three recipients of vibrations: a) human occupancy in buildings and on pedestrian bridges; b) the contents of the building; c) the structure of the building. It applies to buildings, pedestrian bridges and walkways found within buildings or connecting them and does not include bridges that carry vehicular traffic, nor the design of foundations or supporting structures of machinery.
This standard specifies requirements for the operation of laboratories and is applicable to all laboratories regardless of the number of personnel or the extent of the scope of testing activities.
This standard is for use by laboratories in developing their quality, administrative and technical systems that govern their operations. Any party may use this standard when confirming or recognising the competence of laboratories.
This standard specifies requirements for the operation of testing and/or calibration laboratories. It is applicable to all laboratories regardless of the number of personnel or the extent of the scope of testing activities.
Within the general scope defined in Section I, ANSI/ASME B30.17 applies to overhead and gantry cranse with a top running bridge, of single-girder construction, utilizing one or more underhung hoists (see ANSI B30.16) operating on the bottom flange of the bridge girder. This Standard includes both power-driven and hand-operated equipment.
