In this context, the proposed paper presents an overview of the damage that was observed and the general and detail information collected through Rapid Visual Damage Assessment of 64 numbers of buildings around the Kathmandu valley. The main objective of this research work was to make the database of damaged buildings, to find out the general causes of failure of these buildings, to know the lesson learnt from the Gorkha earthquake 2015 and to recommend for design and construction of RC building in future. The existing status of the buildings are obtained by single parameter analysis of collected data in which general information and deficiencies of buildings are ploted out by using statistical tools, then correlation between these parameters is perfomed. The study showed that the selected buildings lie in IX MMI comparing with the seismic hazard map of Kathmandu valley prepared by UNDP.
