摘要

On March 28, 2025, an Mw 7.7 earthquake struck Myanmar, causing extensive damage to engineering facilities, causing thousands of casualties. In addition, at 2 km-by-2 km square, Mandalay Royal Palace, famous as an important historical and cultural relic facility, also suffered significant damage. A detailed field investigation took place after the earthquake, with subsequent analysis of post-earthquake high-resolution remote sensing images. It was found that damage was concentrated primarily to the four exterior walls of the palace. Specifically, many parts of the walls broke off or collapsed, and some of the palace gates and watchtowers on the walls were destroyed or even collapsed. The collapse rate of the palace gates was significantly higher than that of the watchtowers and palace walls, and the degree of damage to the north and south sides of the palace walls was significantly higher than that of the east or west sides. This special spatial damage distribution may be related to the strike-slip movement of the Sagaing fault. The research results not only serve as a valuable reference for understanding the ground motion characteristics of this destructive earthquake but also help learn lessons to better protect cultural relics against the effects of future earthquakes.
