thrust block calculation

thrust block calculation

thrust block calculation

(OP)
Hello all,

we have a underground FRP fire fighting pipe having design pressure of 25 bars.

I modelled the piping with caesar.

For to  size thrust blocks at bends, and connections I need to calculate the loads on the thrust block.

How shall I treat the thrust block points in Ceasar. Should I treat them as anchor points and read the loads on this anchor restraint.

Or

buried piping model automatically places bilinear restraints. Should I read the loads on this bilinear restraints and use these loads for thrust block sizing calculations.

thanks in advance

RE: thrust block calculation

You want to replace the bi-linear restraints that CAESAR II inserts with anchors.  (CAESAR II doesn't know you want thrust blocks.)
