An　analytical　solution　has　been　developed　to　investigate　the　dynamic　responses　of　floating　pile　with　different　soil　viscoelastic　half-space　types.　The　dynamic　response　of　a　pile　is　gov-erned　by　1D　vibration　theory,　in　which　the　pile　is　assumed　to　be　viscoelastic　material　with　a　circular　cross-section　and　can　be　divided　into　two　pile　segments　in　a　soil-air　system.　Meanwhile,　the　dynamic　solution　for　soil　is　achieved　by　the　application　of　the　potential　function　decomposition　and　the　variable　separation　method.　Moreover,　an　analytical　solu-tion　considering　the　viscoelastic　half-space　of　the　soil　free-field　under　horizontal　SV　wave　is　established.　Furthermore,　the　dynamic　pile-soil　interaction　is　established　and　solved　ef-ficiently　through　a　precise　theoretical　derivation　based　on　the　displacement　compatibility　and　traction　equilibrium　at　the　interface　between　the　pile　and　soil.The　present　solution　is　compared　with　the　substructure　method　and　analytical　solution　with　a　rigid　foundation　to　verify　the　rationality　of　the　present　analytical　solution.　Then,　the　similarities　and　differences　among　several　foundation　types　are　discussed　based　on　the　present　analytical　solution.　The　results　have　a　certain　guiding　significance　for　engineering　structures.(c)　2022　Elsevier　Inc.　All　rights　reserved.
