Brick in cement buildings are the most common buildings constructed in the recent times in Nepal. Buildings that are more than 15-20 years old are mostly this type of urban areas. Buildings that are built mostly in rural and outskirts of urban areas are of this type. These are the brick masonry buildings with fired bricks in cement sand mortar. In some of the semi-urban area masonry buildings with concrete block and cement are built.
The structural walls are one brick thick (230mm) constructed in 1:6 cement sand mortar, in general in these type of buildings. The number of stories usually goes up to three or even more in core areas. The floors are of either reinforced concrete or reinforced brick or reinforced brick concrete slabs. The roof is also of similar construction although in some cases it is made sloping using RC slabs. Usually, the slabs rest directly on walls without beams. A peripheral beam cast with the floor slab can be found in some buildings. Though the cement mortar quality is better than mud mortar, the use of thin walls and large openings and absence of earthquake resisting elements such as bands and vertical reinforcement make these buildings also vulnerable to 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
Kuala Lumpur, 02/02/2013 - Saya membuat tinjauan mesra di Brickfields hari ini.
Saya menggariskan tiga prinsip penting yang mesti diamal dan dipatuhi setiap rakyat di Negara ini untuk memastika Malaysia kekal sebagai sebuah negarayang aman, stabil dan harmoni serta menjadi model keharmonian dunia.
Tiga prinsip itu ialah mengamalkan kesederhanaan, hormat menghormati antara satu sama lain dan pentingnya bersikap adil.
Brickfields ini adalah antara lokasi paling unik di Malaysia kerana dalam lingkungan dua hingga tiga kilometer, terdapat pelbagai tempat ibadah yang mewakili agama besar dunia dengan pengikut dan penganut masing-masing.
