Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Building damage in the capital's Kathmandu basin after the 2015 M7.8 Gorkha earthquake in Nepal The cause of this difference was investigated in terms of seismic motions. Single-point ground microtremors (300 locations) were used to create predominant period maps for three different types of ground Surface geological structure was estimated by conducting a survey. In the Khusibu area, detailed planar distribution was obtained, and in the area where RC buildings were intensively damaged, Vs= The presence or absence of a thin ultra-soft layer of 100m/s (locally called Black Cotton Soil) It was found to be one of the factors that determined the building damage. The thin soft layer on the surface of the building is the main cause of the damage in Mashiki town, which was damaged in the Kumamoto earthquake. The parallels are interesting.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
表層の超軟弱層の有無が建物の地震動による被害を大きくすることは、今後の日本の耐震性評価を考える上でも、国民が建物や家屋を建てる際にも注意すべき事項であり、土地の評価にも関わる重要な関心事となろう。
