Engineering and Design: Revision of Thrust Block Criteria in TM 5-813-5/AFM 88-10, Vol 5 Appendix C

Abstract

The purpose of this ETL is to provide design engineers with criteria that will be used in preparing designs and project specifications for construction of thrust blocks for underground water and wastewater piping at facilities for the Army and Air Force. This ETL promulgates, as well as supplements, criteria found in HQUSACE Architectural and Engineering Instructions, Design Criteria, and shall be compatible with and reflect criteria found in Air Force Manual AFM 88-15. This letter is a revision of Appendix C of TM 5-813-5/AFM 88-10, Vol. 5. The enclosed revision should be used for thrust block calculations until the criteria is incorporated into the applicable manual.
