The required reinforcement length (L) is typically 0.5H to 0.8H for standard walls. Your spreadsheet should include a goal-seek or a manual iteration table to find the minimum L that satisfies:

Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) wall design spreadsheets are engineering tools used to perform complex stability calculations based on soil properties, wall geometry, and loading conditions. Most professional-grade spreadsheets follow the AASHTO LRFD (Load and Resistance Factor Design) methodology. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (.gov) Key Design Reports & Manuals
