Thrust given Extrados Stresses on Arch Dam evaluator uses Thrust of Abutments = Intrados Stresses*Base Thickness+6*Moment acting on Arch Dam/(Base Thickness^2) to evaluate the Thrust of Abutments, Thrust given Extrados Stresses on Arch Dam is the force exerted on an arch dam due to the extrados stresses, which are the tensile forces acting on the outer surface of the dam. These forces are caused by the weight of the dam and the water pressure it contains. Thrust of Abutments is denoted by F symbol.
