Affordable seismic strengthening of stone masonry walls
In the Himalayan region, stone masonry with mud mortar is a widely used construction method for buildings, due to the simplicity of the technique and the abundance of materials. This is particularly applicable in Nepal, where over 80% of the land is mountainous. The 2015 Gorkha Earthquake led to significant damage to 60% of these stone masonry school buildings, thus revealing their seismic vulnerability. This extend of seismic damage poses the ur…
Revisions to the Nepalese Building Code (NBC 105
Enhanced seismic hazard assessments are needed to improve codes of practice for use in earthquake-prone regions. In 2020, Nepal published an update to the 1994 building code, which incorporates learning from new research after the 7.8 Mw 2015 Gorkha earthquake and best practices from seismic codes at the international level. In this technical note, the seismic hazard of the latest version of the code is compared with recent probabilistic seismic …
Inclusive resilience
Well-being of school children lies at the heart of any efficient pre- and post-disaster risk management and hazard mitigation policy. Resilience of educational communities as response to natural and man-made hazards requires the safety and protection being gradually built towards resilience enhancement. Pre- and post-disaster management efforts usually focus on the sustainability of school infrastructure and on policies targeting shelter, recover…
Financial assessment of incremental seismic retrofitting of Nepali stone-masonry buildings
Innovations in earthquake risk reduction for resilience
The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030 (SFDRR) highlights the importance of scientific research, supporting the ‘availability and application of science and technology to decision making’ in disaster risk reduction (DRR). Science and technology can play a crucial role in the world's ability to reduce casualties, physical damage, and interruption to critical infrastructure due to natural hazards and their complex interactions. …
