Sin 90/2 0.71
F 8.03 Tonnes

3 Lateral resistance to counteract the horizontal thrust :

Try Thrust block size (r) 0.425 m
(R) 2.50 m 1.19 Cum.
(H) 1.00 m

i Weight of Thrust block 4.64 Tonnes

ii Weight of Water in the pipe 0.30 Tonnes
iii Weight of Earth 0.40 Tonnes
Total Weight 5.34 Tonnes

Total force available considering frictional Total Wt. *(1-sin30/1+sin30)

Resistance of soil 1.78 Tonnes 0.33
Total Wt. *(1+sin30/1-sin30)
4 Lateral resistance of soil against the block : 3.00

fp = ys x (H)^2/2 x L x (1+SinΦ/1-SinΦ) + 2CHLx root (1+SinΦ/1-SinΦ)

By assuming Cohesion as Zero the above equation

Yields 16.88 Tonnes
