摘要：

The major earthquake on April 25, 2015 (7.8 Mw) and the aftershock on May 12, 2015 (7.3 Mw) caused severe damages on the Nayagaun settlement of Dhulikhel Municipality, Kavre. This study proposes to highlight the extent of damages in the buildings due to the absence of the earthquake resistant components. In this study, the suitability of the building construction techniques in the study area has been addressed after knowing the consequences faced due to the absence of the earthquake resistant components in the buildings. This study provides idea on the earthquake resistant components and its significance in the residential buildings during the earthquake period. In this study, the types of the buildings damaged are tabulated according to the typology of the buildings whereas the type of damages incurred are categorized based on the grade of damages (partially damaged or fully collapsed). Some mitigating measures are identified throughout the study to overcome the future earthquakes. © 2020 International Association of Lowland Technology. All rights reserved.
