3 A. Nepal Earthquake 1) Introduction A strong earthquake of magnitude 7.8 Richter scale struck the central part of Nepal on 25 th April, 2015 at shallow depth of 15 km. The epicenter was located at Barkpak village of Gorkha district, 77 km NW of Kathmandu. Early modeling of this earthquake implies dimensions of ~120x80 km, directed from the hypocenter eastwards, and towards Kathmandu. As a result, substantial seismic energy was generated by faulting very close to the city 1. Figure 1: Map showing the location of the epicenter propagation of the rupture towards Kathmandu (Source: USGS) 2) Ground motion Record As recorded at the station in Kantipath, Kathmandu, the ground motion plot is shown below. The ground motion is divided in to three components, two horizontal components and one vertical component. The recorded PGA at the station was 0.16g, while the derived PGA in Kathmandu valley was 0.73g. The derived maximum PGA is 1.32g in Sindhupalchowk district, which suffered the maximum structural damages and casualties due to the shaking. As per UBC 97, the design PGA is 0.44g in Kathmandu valley. Figure showing the recorded PGA at the Kantipath station. (Source: USGS) Kiran Acharya kacharya@baseengr.com Page 2
4 Figure: Long period acceleration ground motions recorded at Kantipath, Kathmandu station. (Source: USGS) From the ground motion plot, as seen above, the ground vibration is slow in nature in Kathmandu valley Because of this slow nature of the earthquake high rise buildings and flexible mid-rise buildings are expected to suffer maximum damage due to such shaking, while low to stiff mid-rise buildings are expected to suffer least damage.

41 C. Observations and Conclusions Following observations are made in Kathmandu valley after the earthquake 1. Long period ground acceleration resulted in the damage of relatively flexible structure where as stiff structures suffered less damage in Kathmandu valley. 2. Buildings where infill walls were constructed after constructing the frames suffered more cracks at beam and column interface, while, the buildings where infill walls and frames were constructed together suffered no such damages. 3. Most of the buildings with complete infill walls on ground floors and buildings without infill walls on ground floor but with larger column dimensions 12 x12, suffer minor to no damage. 4. Most of the columns are failed by crushing of the concrete at the soffit of the beam or at column base leading to the subsequent buckling of the longitudinal bars. 5. In some buildings it is observed that the building could not resist the overturning moment due to lap splice failure on the tension side. It was observed that all the longitudinal rebar were spliced at same location in such buildings. 6. Complete collapse of the ground floor and in some cases up to 2nd floor of mid-rise buildings (4 to 6 story tall) due to soft story mechanism. This kind of buildings did not have infill walls on the periphery grid on ground floor for commercial purpose and the column sizes were 9 x9. 7. No major damage in the components of the building near to surface fissures. However they suffer excessive tilting and settlement 8. Collapse of the cultural heritages dated back up to 5 th century. 9. Complete collapse of the over aged masonry buildings. 10. Partial collapse of the wooden roofs of relatively new load bearing masonry buildings. Other part of the building remain intact with no critical damage 11. High rise buildings and mid-rise flexible buildings are at more risk than the low to mid-rise stiff buildings in Kathmandu valley. 12. Damage pattern of the High-rise building like Park View Horizon apartment may be attributed to the excitement of higher modes of vibration. 13. Strong beam-weak columns are observed in the collapsed RC frame buildings in Kathmandu. 14. A low rise house in Sindhupalchowk and Gorkha would experience more than double seismic force than the same house in Kathmandu would have experienced. This is primarily due to almost double value of Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) in Sindhupalchowk and Gorkha (1.32g) than the PGA in Kathmandu (0.73g) and also due to the stiff nature of soil in Gorkha and Sindhupalchowk.
