Cross-section showing kumu pohaku (base rock) foundation with pou kama (buried post) and dimensions table for foundation types at different hale sizes

Foundation detail from HAR Chapter 15-110 showing the kumu pohaku (base rock) and pou kama (buried post) connection. The thesis module system maps this joint type to the contemporary “pinned/bolted” column-to-base connection, maintaining the structural logic while meeting modern code requirements. Source: Hawaii Administrative Rules, Chapter 15-110.
