Sheet pile walls


I am about to design an 8,0 meter high sheet pile wall. What kind of sheet pile wall is best to use in marl (soft rock)? Are there some recomendations for choosing an apropriate sheet pile wall (material and construction) for diffrent soil conditions. Thanks

Sometimes cantilevered walls are butressed on the front, or include a counterfort on the back, to improve their strength resisting high loads. Buttresses are short wing walls at right angles to the main trend of the wall.
