This spreadsheet carries out a design for WSD Type 1 Thrust Blocks for TEES. The details of the calculations here should be read in conjunction with Technical Note Nr I.1 (Appendix I) of the WUD Pipes & Pipelines Manual

Data is entered into the yellow cells in the worksheet THRUST3 The Design Table allows a dozen cases to be analysed at once The yellow cells under the design table are common design parameters
