Thrust Block Design - Zatul

This document describes the design of thrust blocks for horizontal and vertical bends in a buried pipe. It provides design parameters for soil, concrete, steel and the pipe. It then calculates the thrust force based on internal pressure and bend angle. It resolves this force into vertical and horizontal components for vertical bends. It determines weights and forces on the block from soil, water and friction. It checks soil bearing capacity, stability against uplift/sliding and reinforcement design to ensure the block meets requirements.
