The present invention particularly relates to a foundation body and method
of disposing additional reinforcing materials in foundations formed with a
reinforced base which obtains a high underpinning strength with respect to
detaching loads. The natural ground 4 is excavated. A plurality of rod
shaped additional reinforcing materials are fixed in the peripheral earth
which extend radially from the formed main foundation body and which are
disposed at fixed intervals in the radial direction. The additional
reinforcing materials are disposed so as to be corresponded with the
direction of minimum principal strain in the earth peripheral with respect
to the foundation body when a detaching force acts.
