Pipe Thrust Design Guide
| Soil Type | Bearing Strength (kPa) | Typical Thrust (kN) |
|---|---|---|
| Soft Clay | 25–50 | 10–50 |
| Sandy Soil | 50–100 | 50–200 |
| Gravel | 100–200 | 200–500 |
| Rock | 200–1000 | 500–2000 |
Note: Results are theoretical based on AWWA M11 principles. Actual thrust depends on pipe material, fluid, and soil conditions. Consult a civil engineer for precise design.
