    The document provides specifications for thrust block dimensions for water mains of various sizes and fittings under 200 PSI pressure in sandy soil. It lists the surface area, thrust force, and required dimensions of thrust blocks for tees, plugs, 90-degree bends, 45-degree bends and Y fittings. For trench widths over 8 feet, equivalent volumes of concrete are specified instead of dimensions. Notes provide additional guidance on thrust block construction.

    ASSUMPTIONS:
    1. A safety factor of 1.5 has been applied to each thrust dimension to protect against surcharge and spikes in pressure.
    2. Beyond trench widths of 8 feet, equivalent volumes of concrete (CY) is specified to overcome the thrust force (lb).

    NOTES:
    1. THESE DETAILS IN NO WAY LIMITS THE LOCATION OR SIZE OF ADDITIONAL BLOCKING WHEN
    WARRANTED BY THE CITY ENGINEER.
    2. DEPTH FROM GROUND SURFACE TO TOP OF BLOCKING SHALL BE GREATER THAN HEIGHT OF BLOCKING.
    3. ALL FITTINGS, VALVES, ETC. SHALL BE WRAPPED WITH VISQUEEN OR POLYWRAP BEFORE CONCRETE IS
    PLACED, TO PREVENT CORROSION OR BONDING OF THE CONCRETE TO THE BOLTS, FITTINGS, OR PIPE.
    4. WIDTH OF THE THRUST BLOCK SHOULD BE AT LEAST TWO TIMES THE HEIGHT OF THE THRUST BLOCK.
    5. CUBIC YARDS OF CONCRETE IS SPECIFIED TO OPPOSE THE THRUST FORCE WHEN DIMENSION "A" EXCEEDS 8 FEET
    6. ALTHOUGH THE BEARING STRENGTHS USED IN THIS CALCULATOR HAVE BEEN USED SUCCESSFULLY IN THE DESIGN OF THRUST BLOCKS
    AND ARE CONSIDERED TO BE CONSERVATIVE, THEIR ACCURACY IS TOTALLY DEPENDANT ON ACCURATE SOIL IDENTIFICATION AND
    AREA OF
