A Study on Earthquake Resistant Construction in Nepal
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Nepal has a long history of earthquake activities due to its position. Recently the devastating earthquake occurred in Nepal touched 7.9 Magnitude at the Richter scale. Almost 8,673 people lost their lives and 21,954 injured, approximately 4,89,500 buildings were completely destroyed and near about 2,62,600 were partially destroyed in Lumjung-Kathmandu-Nepal. Many roads damaged including ring road in the capital city. Also 78 people lost their lives in INDIA and at least 25 people in CHINA and many more were injured. The earthquake occurred at the hypocentre of 15 km and the epicentre was Lumjung, Kathmandu. The main cause of this earthquake was the movement of INDIAN Tectonic Plate going under the Eurasian Plate.The purpose of this research paper is how to save lives at the low cost of construction through use of horizontal bands and proper seismic knowledge and also use of principles of earthquake resistant design.
