| Abstract | In Myanmar, earthquakes are considered as one of the major threats which causes heavy damage to human lives and properties. Some major earthquakes, occurred in centuries ago, are now over the recurrent period. Thus, earthquake professionals predict that high intensity earthquakes will probably be occurred in the near future. In the year of 2011, Tarlay Earth quake (M 6.8) occurred and destroyed over 980 houses. Both structural and non-structural damages can be seen in this earthquake activity. Most of the buildings in Tarlay are non engineered RC buildings and almost all of them failed during the earthquake. These losses are mainly caused due to the high seismic vulnerability of the structures. In this report, a two-storey RC building is selected from Tarlay and analyzed with three different analysis methods. The recommendations to reduce the losses due to structural failure are proposed. |
