Abstract	On April 14, 2010, a devastating Ms 7.1 earthquake occurred in Yushu, China. In the most severely struck area of Jiegu Town, approximately 94 % of the structures were damaged. A seismic intensity map was obtained based on field investigation data of structural damage in 63 residential areas, and the differences in structural damage in four intensity regions were quantitatively compared using a seismic capacity index and a damage index. The typical damage for five types of structures in the epicentral area of Jiegu Town was described and summarized in detail. Some recommendations for improving seismic capacity of buildings are provided; they include avoiding mountainous topography, non-uniform materials, and irregular layouts, as well as considering an appropriate arrangement of structural columns and belt courses for hollow concrete block and brick masonry structures. This paper provides valuable information for structural seismic design, post-earthquake reconstruction, and related work.
