Definition of Structural Typologies and Selection of Representative Buildings for Seismic Assessment in Bagan Archaeological Site

A comprehensive classification system for structural typologies of Bagan's archaeological site has been developed, focusing on plan symmetry and vertical continuity. This methodology enables the identification of representative buildings for seismic assessment, facilitating targeted recommendations for repair and retrofitting to mitigate seismic vulnerability. The study enhances the understanding of the site's monuments' seismic behavior through a weighted-point-based system, aiming to improve preservation efforts and protect Bagan's heritage against future seismic events.
