Required pile length

Length of pile required to balance moments; H = 15958 mm
Depth to point of contraflexure; dcontra = 9466 mm
Add 20% below this point; de_add = 1.2  (H - dcontra) = 7791 mm
Minimum required pile length; Htotal = dcontra + de_add = 17256 mm
Pass - Provided length of sheet pile greater than minimum required length of pile
