According to the USGS and I quote; The newly adopted 1991 Unified Building Code requires that new homes are built on, and secured to, a solid foundation or slab.
So the partial perimeter foundation does cover all bases in times of earthquakes and hurricanes.
The drawing i'm looking at shows for one story homes the longitudinal and transverse (corner) walls be 8 ft long and 12 ft long for two story homes. both being bolted to the sillplates.
