Point of rotation at depth x is correctly chosen when 2',M = 0, i.e. When the passive resistance of the soil above the point of rotation balances that below it. The ultimate bending moment, which occurs at the point of zero shear, should not exceed, the ultimate moment of resistance Mil. Of the pile shaft.
