CONCRETE THRUST BLOCKING NOTES: The use of Portland cement concrete thrust blocks is not permissible except as shown on the plans or with the approval of the engineer, Portland cement concrete thrust blocks shall be placed agoinst undisturbed earth. Where it is not practical to place the concrete thrust block against undisturbed earth, the fill material placed between the pipe's bearing surface and the undisturbed soil shall be compacted to a minimum of 95% of the maximum density os determined in accordance with the requirements of Arizona Test Methods 225, 226, 230 or 231 and 232. 2. The tables found on sheets 2,3, and 4 of 4 are based on the following: 2) 200 PSI internal pressure. ») 1500 PSF soil bearing pressure. c) Class B, 2500 Portland cement concrete per Section 1006, Standard Specifications for Public Improvements. d) The corresponding weight of the concrete (Class B) is equal to or greater than the vertical component of thrust on the vertical bend 3. Dimensions may be varied as required by field conditions where and os directed by the engineer. The volumes of concrete thrust blocking shall not be less than shown. 4, Earth trench conditions: The “C" dimension shall be as shown. The concrete blocking must be poured against firm soil. 5. Unstable soil: the engineer shall determine if additional thrust blocking is required. The "C” dimension shall be increased os directed by the engineer, based on geotechnical evaluations of the site soils.
