文摘

Strong ground motion is dictated by the geo-morphological constraints and rupture directivity. The structural heterogeneity and non linearity have the strong role in attenuation of seismic waves. Nepal Earthquake was devastating in the border cities of India to Nepal. Extent of damage to the structures in India can be avoided if the existing building design code is followed.
