Abstract
Nepal earthquake (2015) was a devastating one with the intensity of 7.8 on Richter scale. The death count in the Nepal and other neighboring countries was in thousands. It is considered to be one of the most devastating earthquake ever to happen in the region of Nepal. The main method of construction in Nepal and its neighboring countries is only considering the gravity loads not the earthquake loads. When any major earthquake hits India and its neighboring countries, the estimated loss of death always lies in thousands and the estimated loss of income to be in $800 million approximately. To prevent such kind of losses, the earthquake loading is to be considered while designing the structure. The main aim of the project is to carry out the designing and analysis of the building affected by the earthquake and its retrofitting to bring the structure back to its required strength.
