Thrust Block - 250

This document describes the design of thrust blocks for water pipes with different bend angles. It provides soil properties, concrete properties, pipe data, calculations of thrust forces, and dimensions of thrust blocks. It also calculates the resisting forces and checks that the factor of safety is greater than 1.2 for stability. Thrust blocks are designed for bend angles of 90°, 60°, and 45° and calculations show the 45° design satisfies the safety requirement while the 90° design fails.
