There is a contradiction between high settlement control standards and difficulty in predicting post-construction settlement when constructing automated container yards on complex stress historical sites.We use the e-p（porosity ratio-pressure） curve method without considering pre-consolidation stress and the e-lgp curve method considering pre-consolidation stress for settlement calculation,and compare design data of land formation and foundation treatment in the early stage of the site.The results show that in the super consolidated soil foundation,the post-construction settlement calculated by the e-lgp curve method is much smaller than that calculated by the e-p curve method,and is closer to the settlement calculated by the previous data.The use of the e-lgp curve method to calculate the settlement of overconsolidated foundations has good guiding significance and can provide reference for the design of automated container yard foundations with complex stress foundation backgrounds.
