Abstract：Because of soil squeezing effect and excess pore water pressur，reconsolidation settlement will occur around soil compaction piles in saturated soft clay during pile driving. The issue of reconsolidation settlement is analyzed in this paper with respect to the excess pore water pressure formation and dispersing scatter discipline. In addition，calculation methods of pile settlement due to soil reconsolidation settlement is studied by using the interaction effect principle. The research indicates that the pile settlement due to soil reconsolidation settlement is far more than that due to vertical load，and this kind of settlement will go up with time. Therefore，the time-dependency of pile settlement is theoretically studied.
