SEISMIC DESIGN OF BUILDING FOUNDATIONS IN JAPAN 1. Introduction An overview of seismic design of foundations described in the literature1)-3) and the allowable unit stress of piles and others under Notification No. 1113 are presented in Sections 2 to 5. In Section 6, the fundamentals and issues related to the design of foundations to withstand a great earthquake are described. Finally, in Section 7, the characteristics of overseas legal provisions concerning the seismic design of foundations are outlined and comparisons are made with Building Standard Law of Japan (BSLJ). 2. Basic concept The building foundations that may be subjected to seismic force should be designed so as to maintain structural safety equivalent to or exceeding that of the upper structure. It is important to conduct an investigation according to the state of the site with respect to possible ground deformation such as liquefaction and landslide, and measures such as appropriate soil improvement should be taken as needed. It should be noted that under BSLJ Article 20, structural calculations including seismic design are not mandatory for the foundations of small buildings. Buildings of this type are covered in BSLJ Article 6-1 as follows: a) Wooden buildings with a total floor area of 500 m2 or less and up to 2 stories. b) Non-wooden buildings with a total floor area of 200 m2 or less and 1 story. 3. Design external forces during an earthquake 3.1 General external forces The design horizontal force P of a foundation is obtained by adding the horizontal force on the h underground part of building including the foundation to the horizontal shear force Pho (Equation 3.1.1) of the lowest story for upper ground part of building design under
