Considering that the pile foundation is widely used in soft soil, in order to improve the prediction accuracy of the vertical ultimate compressive bearing capacity of a single pile, this paper puts forward a calculation model of the pile side friction resistance in homogeneous soil based on the previous research and further deduces the calculation method of pile body internal force in layered soil under the influence of gravity field. In this research, the transmission of load along the pile body is related to the previous research on the ultimate end resistance, and an analytical calculation for the vertical ultimate compressive capacity of a single pile is proposed. The novelty of the method is that the ultimate bearing capacity is solved from the perspective of force transfer while considering its own gravity, making the results more accurate. In order to verify the reliability of the method, four engineering test piles in the soft soil area of Suzhou, China, were selected, and it is indicated that the results of the static load test and finite element simulation are consistent with the proposed method, proving that the method proposed in this paper for predicting the vertical ultimate compressive bearing capacity of single pile in soft soil area has an excellent effect.
