Earthquake loss estimation for the Kathmandu Valley
Chaulagain, Hemchandra; Silva, Vitor; Rodrigues, Hugo; Spacone, Enrico; Varum, HumbertoThe capital city, Kathmandu, is the most developed and populated place in Nepal. The majority of the administrative offices, headquarters, numerous historical monuments, and eight World Heritages sites are in the Kathmandu Valley. However, this region is geologically located on lacustrine sediment basin, characterized by a long history of destructive earthquakes. The past events resulted in great damage of stru...
Seismic assessment of rc structures with infill masonry panels in Nepal: sensit...
Chaulagain, Hemchandra; Rodrigues, Hugo; Spacone, Enrico; Varum, HumbertoReinforced concrete (RC) buildings in Nepal are constructed as RC frames with masonry infill panels. These structures exhibit a highly non-linear inelastic behaviour resulting from the interaction between the masonry infill panels and the surrounding frames. In this context, the paper presents an extensive case study of existing RC-framed buildings in a high seismic risk area in Nepal. A sensitivity analysis of...
Assessment of response reduction factor of RC buildings in Kathmandu Valley usi...
Chaulagain, HemchandraThis study addresses the issue of response reduction factor which is used in modern codes to scale down the elastic response of the structure. The level of ductility and overstrength of RC buildings in Kathmandu valley are investigated. The ductility and overstrength factors are estimated by analyzing the buildings using non-linear pushover analysis for 12 engineered designed RC buildings of various characteris...
