Abstract:

On 25th,2015 at 11:56 a earthquake of magnitude 7.8 occurred in Nepal. It’s epicentre (28.147°N, 84.708°E ) was located in the village of Barpak, Gorkha locality which is something like 77 km north-west of the centre town Kathmandu and its central depth was 15 km. earthquake also had a effect on adjacent area of India, China, Bangladesh. In the earthquake more than 500000 houses were completely destroyed and about 270000 houses were partially destroyed. Many of the people were living without roof. Here in this project we have discussed about the cause of earthquake, what was the major destruction, remedies for the future destruction and its control, the discussion on some issue in regard to earthquake risk reduction of Non-engineered building, such as: Earthquake safety in developing countries along with its management, on pre-disaster easing and preparedness, earthquake break reduction initiatives taken such as training of building codes with guidelines along with disaster mitigation for sustainable development. After that the major cause of severe damage experiential in non-engineered building in the past earthquakes are currently briefly along with critical elements to be included in new constructions are decorated. Methodology for seismic retrofitting of stone house developed, implement and verified by the author in the field is introduce Next costs along with benefits of earthquake prevention method are indicated. Finally a practically feasible and efficiently viable scheme of earthquake challenging new building construction along with seismic-retrofitting of reside unsafe building is outlined.
