The document discusses the design and analysis of an anchor block and penstock pipe for the Thottiyar hydroelectric project in Kerala, India. It provides details on the design methodology, which involves collecting preliminary site data, studying the relevant design codes, and using software like Microsoft Excel to iteratively design the anchor block and size the penstock pipe to withstand expected water pressures and hammer effects. The sample anchor block design is presented along with conclusions on satisfying stability criteria and determining appropriate penstock pipe thicknesses.
