Wt. of Thrust Block(W1) = 3.4831 X25= 87.0775 kN
Wt of pipe and water(W2) = 0.3259 X10= 3.259 kN

Wt of soil above T/B (W3) = 1 m depth of soil above T/B

FOR 600x300 mm Dia. UNEQUAL TEE

Frictional Resistance (R2) =μ X w

= 0.35 X130.0765= 45.53 kN

Total Resisting Force (R) = R1 + R2

= 941.28+45.53

= 986.80 kN

Factor of safety against sliding = R/P = 986.8/211.95

= 4.66 > 1.5

= OK " Safe Agaist Sliding"

(3.0) CHECK FOR UPLIFT PRESSURE

F.O.S = 1.5 = Area of T/B x Groud Water Level x Density of water

= 1.987 x 1 X 10 19.87 KN
= 260 / 19.87
= 13.09 > 1.5

(4.0) CHECK FOR BEARING STREGTH

Allowable soil Bearing Strength = 260 kN / m2

Actual Strength = Total load including soil wt / Area of thrust block
= 130.0765 / 1.987
= 65.46 kN / m2
