DESIGN CALCULATION OF THURST BLOCK

FOR 600x300 mm Dia. UNEQUAL TEE

(1) DESIGN PARAMETERS ESTIMATED AS PER SITE CONDITION.

(i) Tee = 600x300
(ii) Maximum Pressaure (P) = 10 Bar =1000 kN/m ²

Radius of PIPE (m) A1 0.3000

Area of PIPE(m ²) A1 0.2826
Radius of PIPE (m) A2 0.15
Area of PIPE(m ²) A2 0.07065
Maximum Pressure (kN/m ²) 1000

(2.0) CHECK FOR SLIDING

(2.1) THRUST FORCES

= (P1x(A1-A2)
= (0.2826-0.07065)1000
= 211.95 kN

(2.2) RESISTING FORCES

(i) CHAMBER WEIGHT (R1)
Chamber Wall Length = 3.722 M

Chamber Wall Width = 3.522 M

Toe Width = 0.25 M

wall width = 0.25 M

Chamber Base = 0.5 M

Chamber Height = 4.181 M

Volume of Propsed Thrust Block (m ³) = 3.809 m³

Chamber Structure Weight R1 = 522.569 KN

Thrust Block Weight R2 = 95.225 KN

TOTAL RESISTING FORCES = 617.794

Factor of safety against sliding = R/P = 617.794/211.95

= 2.91 > 1.5

= OK " Safe Agaist Sliding"
