Abstract
In practice, the consolidation of soil around the pile has a great influence on the time-dependent bearing capacity of pile. However, most of the consolidation theory of soil around the pile neglects the disturbance effect of pile-driving on surrounding soil and regards the soil as homogeneous, which overestimates the consolidation efficiency of the soil, and obtains a higher pile bearing capacity. In view of this, a consolidation model of soil around a pipe pile considering soil disturbance effect is presented in this paper. Fourier transform and separation of variables are used to obtain the analytical solution, and then the solution is verified by degradation analysis and Finite Difference Method (FDM). Firstly, the radial and vertical distribution of excess pore pressure generated after pile-driving is analyzed. In the radial direction, the excess pore pressure decreases rapidly from the radius of pipe pile to the radius of the disturbed zone, then slowly decays to 0 from the radius of disturbed zone to the influencing radius of pipe pile. In the vertical direction, the excess pore pressure along the vertical direction grows linearly. Subsequently, the variation of the average excess pore pressure at the pile-soil interface with the permeability coefficient and radius of disturbance zone are analyzed. The permeability coefficient of disturbance zone has a remarkable negative effect on the excess pore pressure during the whole consolidation period. Increasing the radius of the disturbance zone will hinder the dissipation of the excess pore pressure in the intermediate and later stages. Finally, the validity of the proposed analytical solution is illustrated by comparing with the laboratory results.

1. Introduction
Coastal areas are mostly soft soil foundation, which needs to be treated before construction. Static pile technique is a common method to deal with soft soil foundation, which has been widely used in the world [1-3]. Although the bearing capacity of the foundation can be improved by pressing the static pile into the soil by the static pile pressing machine, it is inevitable to squeeze the soil in the process of pile installation, resulting in disturbance of the surrounding soil around the static pile [4-6]. Further, pile installation could produce high excess pore pressure, which results in the slow development of pile bearing capacity [7]. High excess pore pressure could also cause some negative effects on the pile and surrounding soil, including deviation of pile and ground heave [8-10]. Therefore, it is necessary to put forward a set of prediction scheme to evaluate the excess pore pressure after pile installation, so that engineers can deal with the risks in advance.
Axisymmetric consolidation model is often used to evaluate the dissipation of excess pore pressure after pile-driving. Randolph and Wroth [10] first proposed an analytical solution of axisymmetric consolidation around an impermeable pile considering radial drainage through pile-driving test. Subsequently, in the theoretical study on the axisymmetric consolidation of the soil around the impermeable pile, Guo [11] proposed the analytical solution considering viscoelastic soil, and Gao and Shi [12] proposed the analytical solution considering both radial and vertical drainage. Recently, a permeable pile technique has been developed to accelerate the consolidation rate of foundation soil. Therefore, some scholars have further studied axisymmetric consolidation around a permeable pile [13,14].
It should be emphasized that all above-mentioned studies are limited to undisturbed soils. In fact, the existing field data and test data show that the disturbance effect on the soil around the pile is inevitable in the process of pile installation [15,16]. In general, in the process of pile installation, radial compression will occur to the soil around the pile, leading to the decrease of the radial permeability coefficient of the disturbed soil, which will lead to the decrease of the radial drainage performance of the soil. When the vertical drainage distance is long, the soil drainage path is mainly radial. In this case, the disturbance effect of soil should not be ignored.
Similar to pile installation, the prefabricated vertical drains (i.e., PVDs) installation has been fully studied [17-20]. Compared with the smear effect by PVD installation [21-25], the disturbance effect induced by pile installation is much more significant due to its bigger radius. Thus, it is of significance to study the consolidation of soil around the pile considering disturbance effect. Additionally, the growth rate of pile bearing capacity could be overestimated by using the current consolidation model, which leads to some unknown risks (e.g., excessive settlement and insufficient bearing capacity) and reducing the accuracy of building’s reliability analysis [9,26,27]. Therefore, whether it is the study of consolidation theory of soil around pile or the subsequent analysis of pile bearing capacity, the study of consolidation theory considering disturbance effect is of great significance. Unfortunately, there is no an analytical solution to axisymmetric consolidation of soil considering the disturbance effect around a pipe pile.
In order to better predict the dissipation process of excess pore pressure and the increase process of pile bearing capacity after piling, it is necessary to further optimize the existing consolidation theory. On the condition that the disturbance effect cannot be ignored, this paper presents an analytical solution to axisymmetric consolidation of soil considering the disturbance effect around a pipe pile on the basis of previous studies. Fourier transform and separation of variables are used to solve the problem, and the solution is calibrated by degradation analysis and FEM. Subsequently, the distribution of excess pore pressure along vertical and radial directions are analyzed by graphical interpretation. Moreover, the concept of the dimensionless average excess pore pressure at pile-soil interface is put forward and the influence of disturbance parameters on it is analyzed. Most importantly, the validity of the solution is demonstrated by comparing with test data.

4.1 Parameter analysis
Figure 3(a) illustrates the distribution of excess pore pressure along the depth. The excess pore pressure increases with the increase in depth. After consolidation for a period of time (i.e., Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://mathoid.scipedia.com/localhost/v1/":): T_{v}={10}^{-3}
), the excess pore pressure at different depths in the disturbed zone was still higher than that in the undisturbed zone (i.e., Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://mathoid.scipedia.com/localhost/v1/":): r>r_{d}
). Figure 3(b) shows that the excess pore pressure increases linearly with depth direction under different Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://mathoid.scipedia.com/localhost/v1/":): r . The growth rate of the excess pore pressure with depth is large in the disturbed zone (i.e., Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://mathoid.scipedia.com/localhost/v1/":): r\leq r_{d} ), while the growth rate of the excess pore pressure with depth is small in the undisturbed zone (i.e., Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://mathoid.scipedia.com/localhost/v1/":): r > r_d ).

According to the research works proposed by Li et al. [9], time-dependent bearing capacity is mainly affected by the dissipation of the excess pore pressure at the pile-soil interface. In order to study the influence of the soil disturbance induced by pile installation on the excess pore pressure at pile-soil interface, this paper introduces the dimensionless average excess pore pressure at pile-soil interface (Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://mathoid.scipedia.com/localhost/v1/":): u_{{ave}}\left(t\right)

on the excess pore pressure under deep and shallow foundations, where Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://mathoid.scipedia.com/localhost/v1/":): k_d/k_{h}

When Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://mathoid.scipedia.com/localhost/v1/":): k_{d}/k_h=1
, this solution can degenerate into the solution of homogeneous soil around a pile [12]. Whether it's shallow foundation (i.e., case of Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://mathoid.scipedia.com/localhost/v1/":): H=5 m) or deep foundation (i.e., case of Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://mathoid.scipedia.com/localhost/v1/":): H = 20 m), the dissipation rate of the excess pore pressure gradually decreases with decreases in Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://mathoid.scipedia.com/localhost/v1/":): k_{d}/k_{h} .

could be overestimated at the anytime without considering the disturbance effect. The dissipation rate of the average excess pore pressure at pile-soil interface decreases obviously with the increase of Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://mathoid.scipedia.com/localhost/v1/":): k_{d}/k_{h}

By comparing Case of shallow foundation and Case of deep foundation, it is clearly known that the disturbance effect has a greater influence on deep foundation than on shallow foundation. Moreover, the difference of drainage performance of deep and shallow foundations is gradually obvious with the increase of Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://mathoid.scipedia.com/localhost/v1/":): k_{d}/k_{h} .

Additionally, compared with the case without disturbed zone (i.e., Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://mathoid.scipedia.com/localhost/v1/":): r_{d}/r_{0}=1

4.2 Test analysis
To demonstrate the validity of the proposed solution, a set of published laboratory test data is used for comparison [31]. As shown in Figure 6(a), the test box is a cube with a side length of 1000 mm, and the test pile is a PVC pipe with a radius of 30 mm and length of 900 mm (length of 700 mm in the soil). The literature suggests that Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://mathoid.scipedia.com/localhost/v1/":): r_e
is equal to 20 times Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://mathoid.scipedia.com/localhost/v1/":): r_0
[31]. Because the Piezometer 1-3 (i.e., P1-P3, at distance of Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://mathoid.scipedia.com/localhost/v1/":): r = 90
mm) are close to the pile, the measurement data fluctuates greatly, so only the data of P4 ~ P9 are used for analysis. P4-P6 are located at distance of Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://mathoid.scipedia.com/localhost/v1/":): r = 210
mm and P7-P9 are located at distance of of Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://mathoid.scipedia.com/localhost/v1/":): r = 330
mm. According to the initial excess pore pressures of P4-P9, the parameters of the initial excess pore pressure is determined as shown in Figure 6(b).

5. Conclusions
In this paper, an analytical solution to consolidation problem with disturbance effect in the soil around a pile is derived and its accuracy is verified by degradation analysis and the FDM. The influence of disturbance effect on the excess pore pressure dissipation of the soil around a pile under long and short foundation is analyzed. It was concluded that the excess pore pressure in the disturbed zone is more difficult to dissipate than that in the undisturbed zone; The dissipation rate of the average excess pore pressure gradually decreased obviously with the increase of permeability coefficient ratio, Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://mathoid.scipedia.com/localhost/v1/":): k_\mbox{d}/k_\mbox{h} , on the whole dissipation period at pile-soil interface; The impact of radius ratio, Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://mathoid.scipedia.com/localhost/v1/":): r_\mbox{d}/r_\mbox{0} , on the excess pore pressure is interesting. When Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://mathoid.scipedia.com/localhost/v1/":): r_\mbox{d}/r_\mbox{0}
is small, Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://mathoid.scipedia.com/localhost/v1/":): r_\mbox{d}/r_\mbox{0}
only impedes dissipation rate of excess pore pressure in the early and intermediate dissipation periods. But, with Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://mathoid.scipedia.com/localhost/v1/":): r_\mbox{d}/r_\mbox{0}
increases, Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://mathoid.scipedia.com/localhost/v1/":): r_\mbox{d}/r_\mbox{0}
can impedes dissipation rate of excess pore pressure on the whole dissipation period. Disturbance effect (e.g., Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://mathoid.scipedia.com/localhost/v1/":): k_\mbox{d}/k_\mbox{h}
and Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://mathoid.scipedia.com/localhost/v1/":): r_\mbox{d}/r_\mbox{0}
) has obvious negative effect on both shallow and deep foundation, and the negative effect on deep foundations is greater than that on shallow foundation. Finally, the proposed solution is used to predict a test case, which shows that the proposed solution has a good ability to predict the variation trend of the excess pore pressure. However, this model only assumes that the soil is elastic and ignores the effect of the external load, which will be the objective of subsequent research.
