Building Typology: Reinforced Cement Concrete Frame Structure(RCC Frame) ; Location: Thakre Rural Municipality Dhading Nepal
Name of Program: Housing reconstruction program after Gorkha Earthquake
Location: Thakre Rural Municipality Dhading Nepal
Building Typology: Reinforced Cement Concrete Frame Structure(RCC Frame)
Houseowner Name: Bhimsen Raut
This is a frame consisting of the cast in situ Reinforced Cement Concrete beams and columns with strong beam-column joint. Floor and roof framing consists of cast-in-situ concrete slabs. These buildings usually have brick masonry infill. In Nepal, some of the RCC buildings are Non-engineered, some are engineered, and some are the Pre-Engineered type. These non-engineered RCC buildings generally fail in an earthquake due to lack of ductility, redundancy, and appropriate configuration of the building. If these three points are maintained in the building, the building performs very well in the earthquake.
Nepal suffered a massive loss of lives and property on Saturday 25 April 2015, when the devastating magnitude 7.6 earthquake struck Nepal. Subsequent aftershocks, including one of magnitude 7.3 near the Chinese border on 12 May, produced additional losses of life and property.
The earthquake triggered avalanches on Mount Everest and in the Langtang valley. Villages were flattened and people were made homeless across 31 districts, with 14 districts suffering the highest impact. Infrastructure was damaged throughout the earthquake zone. Historic neighborhoods and heritage sites were destroyed in the Kathmandu Valley.
As a result of the earthquake, 8,790 people died and more than 22,300 people were injured. Assessments showed that at least 498,852 private houses and 2,656 government buildings were destroyed. Another 256,697 private houses and 3,622 government buildings were partially damaged. In addition, 19,000 classrooms were destroyed and 11,000 damaged.
The earthquake affected manufacturing, production, and trade in agriculture as well as tourism and other areas of the service sector, thereby weakening the national economy. Economic growth fell in 2015 and has picked up slowly 2016. Once fully underway, reconstruction should contribute to economic growth in the coming years.
According to initial estimates arrived at during the Post-Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA), NPR 669 billion would be required to reconstruct damaged properties and infrastructure and to support recovery in affected sectors of the economy.
The government was providing 300 hundred thousand grant for Private housing reconstruction & 100 hundred thousand grant for retrofitting of the private house damaged by earthquake
