Anchor Block and Thrust Block Design and Stability Check

The document provides design details for an anchor block and thrust block for a penstock pipe. It includes input data on pipe dimensions, water levels, soil properties, and forces acting on the block. Calculations are shown for volume of the anchor block segments, weight of soil and pipe, and moments due to dead load, pipe weight, water pressure, and forces in the bend under normal operating conditions. The results will be used to check stability of the anchor block.
