The construction of modern city consists of many underground facilities, and one major concern is how to construct them safely and efficiently. Thus, the excavation-induced pile response needs to be evaluated. Dual-row batter pile wall (DRBPW) exhibits better performance than traditional dual-row vertical pile wall (DRVPW) in foundation pit engineering. However, the study of single pile subjected to excavation-induced soil movement behind DRVPW is rather limited, needless to say that of the DRBPW. An explicit finite difference method (FDM) was utilized to obtain the responses of isolated floating single pile (IFSP) near deep excavations braced by DRBPW. The responses of IFSP in the vicinity of foundation pit reinforced by DRBPW were compared to that of the DRVPW. The pile length, distance of pile from wall, excavation depth, working load, and Young’s modulus of pile were considered in the parametric study. The conclusions were as follows: (1) The DRBPW can minimize the influence on the existing pile; thus, the induced lateral displacement and bending moment of pile retained by DRBPW are smaller than that of DRVPW. (2) The excavation depth, pile location, and pile length have significant influence on the responses of IFSP adjacent excavation, while the working load and Young’s modulus of pile have diminutive influence. (3) The influence zone induced by excavation can be divided into two areas. The primary influence zone is the severely affected area where the induced deformation and bending moment are remarkable. The secondary influence zone is the moderately affected area where the induced deformation and bending moment are mild. The primary influence zone is within twice of the excavation depth. The secondary influence zone is 2.0–3.0 times that of the excavation depth. (4) The pile toe of IFSP has considerable lateral displacement during excavation, and attentions should be paid to the whole pile shaft during construction.
