In recent years, although many researchers have focused on the damage to buildings subjected to fault displacement and methods for preventing this, a design method has not been established. Therefore, we propose a design method for pile foundation buildings, considering fault displacement, and we conducted a trial design. We developed a realistic design for a high-rise building located near faults. In addition, we showed the mechanism of moment generation by fault displacement, and the effect of distance between faults and buildings on the inclination angle of the ground by fault displacement.
