Abstract
On 25 April - 12 May 2015, a series of large earthquakes struck the north-central part of Nepal, causing not only a substantial number of casualties, but also heavy damage to the building structures and infrastructure facilities. Up to now, most of seismic reconnaissance studies about this event have attributed the structural damage and life losses to the relatively loose implementation of the building design codes in Nepal, as most of those damaged structures were largely owner-built. Based on the quite limited ground motion data, this paper investigated the primary characteristics of the Nepal earthquake sequence. It is highlighted that the pulse-like features are significant at both the soft and rock sites, which is also responsible for the unique characteristics of the main-shock ground motions other than site effects.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
