Slip pulse and resonance of the Kathmandu basin during the 2015 Gorkha earthquake, Nepal
Summary
The damage to the most vulnerable vernacular dwellings in Kathmandu, which rarely 70 exceed 4 stories, was in fact much less than expected in view of the 2015 earthquake’s 71 magnitude and its proximity to Kathmandu. By contrast, some taller structures were more 72 severely affected, such as the 60 m tall Dharahara tower which collapsed, but only 73 survived the Mw 8.1-‐8.4 1934 earthquake.
