In this case study, seismic category I class electrical equipment in NPP was manufactured and a modal testing was performed using an impact hammer to measure the dynamic characteristics. In the case of electrical cabinets, various safety related components are mounted in the internal frame. Therefore, FEM model that appropriately reflects the local mode is required. To reflect both global and local mode to FEM model, modal testing should be carried out. For implementing the global mode, accelerometers were installed at twenty-eight points of the outline plate edge, and responses for local mode were measured at seven crucial points and compared those results.

Occurring economic loss of economics by the earthquake, such as Gyeongju and Pohang in Korea, interest in seismic stability of facilities is increasing.

In this study, for the rapid transit of urban and metropolitan railways, the installation of passing loop tunnel in the underground section of urban railroads in operation is reviewed. Unlike road tunnels, it is difficult to secure working spaces because the railwau tunnel is very narrow, impossible to bypass, and related facilities such as overhead wire exist. In addition, urban railways have limitations that must be carried out without blocking the existing trains or construction within four hours when the trains are not running. Therefore, in this study, the construction plan of passing loop tunnel during railway operation for the rapid transit was reviewed.

It was observed that microwave can effectively used to cure epoxy mortar and develop adequate strength in shorter time when compared to curing at room temperature.
