BS 6349-1:2000 gives guidance and recommendations on general criteria relevant to the planning,design, construction and maintenance of structures set in the maritime environment.This part of the code is arranged on a topical basis. Section 2 discusses environmental factors, in which theenvironment is taken in its broader sense to include all naturally occurring phenomena likely to be foundat a coastal site and guidance is given on methods of investigating and quantifying their effects. Section 3gives prominence to the need to consider operational requirements throughout the planning of maritimeworks, although only limited guidance is given on some general aspects because the detailed functionalrequirements of individual structures are beyond the scope of this part of this code. Section 4 discusses sea state and gives guidance on the characteristics, prediction, recording and effect of waves. Section 5 deals with the selection and evaluation of design loadings arising from the environmental and operational effects discussed in the previous sections, taking due account of dynamic response and fatigue. Section 6 discusses geotechnical aspects, including ground investigations, soil parameters, and geotechnical design requirements. Section 7 gives guidance on the use and specification of appropriate materials and protective measures.Cross References:BS 65BS 410BS 449-2BS 534BS 639BS 718BS 729BS 916BS 970-1 BS 1199 and 1200BS 1210BS 1490BS 2760BS 2901BS 3294BS 3506BS 3601 BS 3796BS 5400-2BS 5911-103BS 5930 BS 6031BS 6073-1BS 6349-2BS 6564-2 BS 7361-1BS 7543BS 7613BS 7668BS 8004BS 8007BS 8081BS 8110-1BS 8118-1BS 8118-2CP 3: Chapter V:Part 1CP 3:Chapter V:Part 2BS EN 545BS EN 598BS EN 772-3BS EN 772-7BS EN 969BS EN 1401-1BS EN 10029BS EN 10113-1BS EN 10113-2BS EN 10113-3BS EN 10155BS EN 10210-1DD ENV 206 DD 175BS 11BS 12BS 105BS 146 BS 500BS 812BS 882BS 1211BS 1370BS 1400BS 1579BS 1881-124BS 2870BS 2871BS 3148BS 3410BS 3892-1 BS 4027BS 4246BS 4449BS 4466BS 4482BS 4483BS 4844BS 4976BS 5268-2BS 5290BS 5328-2BS 5391-1BS 5392BS 5400-2BS 5409-1BS 5480BS EN 1744-1BS EN 10088BS EN 12163BS EN 12164 BS EN 12165BS EN 12166BS EN 12167prEN 206DD ENV 1991-1DD ENV 1992-1-1PD 6484
