Introduction
Example — Design of Rectangular Anchor Block
Example — Design of H- Shape Anchor Block
PAGE1- Introduction
a) For underground pipes, at locations where the pipe exits from or enters
to the ground, concrete anchor blocks shall be provided in order to
resist the horizontal force caused by the pipe.
b) The horizontal force caused by the pipe is resisted by the following:
- Friction force between the concrete block and the ground.
- Passive earth pressure against the concrete block.
c) Anchor blocks usually have a rectangular plan but for large
forces H-shape plans may be used in order to increase the passive
earth pressure.
4) No tension is allowed when computing the bearing pressure
under the block.
e) The factor of safety against sliding shall not be less than 1.20.
f) The factor of safety against overturning shall not be less than 1.50.
