What is Thrust Block Design and Sizing Guide about?
Thrust blocks should be placed against undisturbed soil in the direction of water flow to restrain the thrust forces created when pipe changes direction or size or at dead ends. These thrust forces can cause pipe joints to fail if not properly restrained. The size of the thrust block should be calculated based on the thrust force developed and the load bearing strength of the soil, using provided tables to determine block size for different pipe sizes and soil types.
