ARMG is often used to automated operation for containers in automated container terminal yards.The rational design of ARMG track foundation is the key to ensure the safe and efficient operation of ARMG.Based on the comparative analysis of the characteristics of three common ARMG track foundation design schemes of natural foundation,composite foundation and pile foundation,and the cost analysis of the whole life cycle of the three schemes,this paper proposes the recommended scheme of ARMG track foundation of automated container terminal and the differential settlement control measures of ARMG track crossing sections.The research results can provide reference for the design of ARMG track foundation for automated container terminals.
