Thrust Block Calculations

1.) This document provides design details for a thrust block for a horizontal bend in a buried pipe. Key specifications of the pipe and soil conditions are provided. 2.) Calculations are shown to determine the design pressure, thrust force, weight of soil and water on the block, weight of the block, total resistance force, and required safety factor. 3.) The block size, reinforcement details, and spacing are designed to resist the thrust force with an acceptable safety factor of 1.97. Additional checks are shown for base stability, net and allowable soil pressures.
