Design of Thrust Block For Underground Pipeline (300mm Dia, 2 Pipes - Horizontal 90 Deg. Bend)

This document provides calculations to design a thrust block for an underground pipeline with two 300mm diameter pipes undergoing a 90 degree horizontal bend. It details the forces on the pipes from water pressure and velocity, and calculates the required volume, dimensions, and bearing capacity of a concrete thrust block to counter these forces.
