Taking an actual shift project of Jiaozuo-Mineral Administration-Building for example

the foundation treatment techniques for monolithic shift of buildings are described. Some issues such as transformation of the old foundation

design of the moving basement and the new foundation

and treatment of the new ground have been detailed. Due to the large concentrated force in the columns of the superstructure

the surface between the columns and the concreted moving basement forms a weak punching shear surface; the damage mechanism in this surface has been analyzed and the corresponding method for reducing the damage has been also proposed especially. Through experimental research and the finite element analysis

it is shown that the proposed shift technique for existed building groups is feasible.
