This paper presents a method for the elastic analysis of vertical loaded single pile in multilayered saturated soil. Based on Biot's consolidation equation, plane strain assumption is applied to research pile-soil interaction in saturated soil. The analytical solution of impedance function of soil is obtained. Combining with a transfer-matrix formulation in the case of multi-layered saturated soil, the analytical solution of vertical impedances of pile are determined. The results of this method are compared well with the existing solutions in the literature. A parametric study for a two-layered saturated soil is further presented to show the effects of layered soils on the behavior of a single pile.
