Design Calculation of Thrustblock: Central Doha & Corniche Beautification Package 2A

This document summarizes the calculation of the thrust block for a water pipeline project. It determines the soil type and bearing strength is 4000 pounds per square foot. It then calculates the cross-sectional area of the pipe as 195 square inches. The highest anticipated water pressure is 130.6 PSI. This results in a thrust of 19491.6 pounds on a 45 degree fitting. The required size of the concrete thrust block is then calculated as 7.31 square feet in area, 7.31 feet in width, 1.86 feet in depth, and 6.8 cubic feet in volume. The summary concludes that this thrust block design is safe.
