Abstract: The consolidation settlement of soil has a great influence on negative friction acting on the sides of piles. Under the framework of unsaturated soil mechanics, based on the interaction principle of the soil-pile interface, a computation methodology for consolidation settlement of soil is proposed in this study. Firstly, according to the hydraulic equivalent principle of collapsible loess, the equivalent load after immersion is calculated. Subsequently, considering the consolidation characteristics of unsaturated soil, the governing equation of pore air and liquid under the equivalent load is established, and the formula for calculating the settlement of soil in the exhaust stage is deduced. Finally, the negative friction of the pile side is obtained according to the relationship between the settlement of soil around the pile, the axial force, and the negative friction. The rationality of the proposed method is then verified through relevant case studies. The results show that the proposed calculation method is feasible and enriches the calculation model of negative friction of the pile side.
