A conglomerate layer is formed horizontally on a base of ground which has a high water permeability and easily liquefies. A bottom plate is formed on the conglomerate layer to construct the underground structure thereon. One or more drainpipes are extended upwardly from the conglomerate layer through the bottom plate for draining excessive pore water in the ground.

A conglomerate layer is formed in ground which has a high water permeability and is liable to be liquefied. An underground base of the structure is constructed on the conglomerate layer. One or more drainpipes are extended substantially horizontally from the conglomerate layer through the underground base so as to communicate with the surface of the ground.
