2015年4月尼泊尔廓尔喀地震揭示了尼泊尔标准或国家建筑规范（NBC）的相对有效性，以及尼泊尔不同地区对其的不规则遵守。尼泊尔50多万住宅结构的大部分损坏可能是由于业主建造或业主监督的建筑普遍存在，以及业主和建筑商缺乏对地震风险的反应能力和遵守《全国地震管理条例》的适当方式的培训。为了解释这些情况，我们回顾了NBC的长期实施以及一个组织，尼泊尔国家地震技术学会（NSET）在实施NBC中所起的作用。我们还分享了尼泊尔参加地震工程研究所2014届Housner研究员主持的研讨会的个人对建筑规范遵守情况的观察。
The April 2015 Gorkha earthquake in Nepal revealed the relative effectiveness of the Nepal Standard or the national building code (NBC), and irregular compliance with it in different parts of Nepal. Much of the damage to more than half a million residential structures in Nepal may be attributed to the prevalence of owner-built or owner-supervised construction and the lack of owner and builder responsiveness to seismic risk and training in the appropriate means of complying with the NBC. To explain these circumstances, we review the protracted implementation of the NBC and the role played by one organization, the National Society for Earthquake Technology—Nepal (NSET), in the implementation of the NBC. We also share observations on building code compliance made by individuals in Nepal participating in workshops led by the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute's 2014 class of Housner Fellows.
