    This document provides guidance on designing concrete thrust blocks for tee, wye, and dead end pipes. It lists the inputs needed, which include working pressure, pipe diameter, and allowable soil bearing pressure. An equation is provided to calculate the required area of the thrust block based on these inputs. The minimum volume of concrete is then calculated based on the area and a minimum thickness of 8 inches around the pipe. A table lists example allowable soil bearing pressures for different natural soil materials and depths of cover.

    Thrust Blocks for Tee,


    Wye, and Dead End

    Where:
    AT = Area of thrust block required (ft2)
    P = Working pressure (lb/in2)
    a = cross section area of the pipe (in2)
    * = see digram on right for location
    qall = Allowable bearing pressure of the soil (lb/ft2)

    INPUTS L (in) 16.0


    Working Pressure (lb/in2) W (in) #DIV/0!
    Inside Pipe Diameter (inches)
    Allowable Soil Bearing Pressure {from soil test or from Table 1 below} (lb/ft2)

    Area of Thrust Block Required #DIV/0! sq ft

    Min. Volume of Concrete** #DIV/0! cu yd


    **Cast in place concrete requires minimum thickness of 8" around pipe.

    Table 52-6 (of NEH Part 636.5207) - Allowable Soil Bearing Pressure
    Depth of cover to center of thrust block
    Natural soil material 2 ft 3 ft 4 ft 5 ft
