Pile Reactions for ultimate load cases

Total number of piles N = 4
Critical Load Case = 201

This is the load case for which the pilecap depth required is the maximum. If there are multiple load cases for which the same
maximum depth is required, then the load case with the highest axial load (absolute value) is considered as the critical load case.
