Two destructive earthquakes happened on April 25 and May 12 in Nepal. These earthquakes have been ranked among the most significant ones due to their effects. The earthquakes were felt in many settlements. Nepal earthquakes caused considerable damage to buildings and to public facilities. The first damage assessment of constructions after earthquake has importance in order to prevent loss of life and property in coming earthquakes. In this study the effects of earthquakes on constructions in Nepal have been evaluated. The damages to reinforced-concrete (RC) and masonry structures after earthquake are evaluated and recommendations made in Nepal which is seismically active. The goal of this paper is to introduce major reasons for structural damages after earthquakes. The observed damages overlap with typical earthquake damages. It has been observed that the negative features of constructions have caused an increase in damage extent. The careless selection of the design and construction of structural systems has increased the damage extent.
