We are working on a 20" DIP water main that is being partially being replaced. The main will be cut and capped temporarily while the new pipes are being installed. My manager has asked me to design a split buttress for hold down the pipe during construction. I'm looking for guide on how to design such a thing. My understanding is that it has two concrete blocks on either side of the pipe and beam runs between the two blocks. See the link provided for an example. The county which we are designing this for has standards for up to 8" mains. Any info would be very much appreciated.
