THRUST BLOCK CALCULATION FOR

160 + 2x110 mm ф (90 DEGREE)

(NEGLECTING THE FRICTION FORCES RESISTANCE)

AREA OF THRUST BLOCK

Where;

A AREA OF THRUST BLOCK (sq.m)

P WORKING PRESSURE (bar)
a Area of pipe (m2)
ϴ Angle of pipe bent(degrees)
q allowable bearing pressure (KN/m2)

inputs:
Working Pressure P KN/m2
Angle of pipe bent ϴ degrees
area of 160 mm dia pipe a m2
allowable bearing pressure q 98.1 KN/m2
Thrust force T (2PaSin(ϴ/2)) 70 KN

AREA OF THRUST BLOCK REQUIRED ( T/q) 0.7135575943 m2

AREA OF THRUST BLOCK TO BE USED 1 M2

NOTE : 1- Thrust block weight and soil friction are considered to be null wich is safer
2-Thrust block must totally backfilled
