This study is an attempt to develop modular house structural systems with safety seismic performances under maximum seismic load of 0.3G. The modular house system was designed with joints (plan) using four-clip simple fastening type, and was also adopted a type of double inter-metallic assembly modular systems using a light metal. The seismic performance was evaluated.

The mechanical behavior of the fasting system on the clamping forces has not been fully studied because of structural complexity. The goal of this research is studying the effect of nonlinear of the rail fastening system on the clamping forces in the railway bridges. A numerical model is proposed to analyze the problem of fasteners. The model is conducted by using a code in FORTRAN. In this study, fasteners are modelled as springs. The calculated results show a good agreement with values referred from manufacturer. As a result, the numerical simulation is believed to indicate an approximate value of clamping force considering the nonlinear behavior of fastening system.

The tramway embedded track is the concrete slab track in which rail is embedded for transit and walking over the pavement. The multi-directional continuous supported embedded track system by liquid polyurethane has high performance in reducing sound and vibration, the advantage of maintenance abroad. Domestic newly-developed embedded track was installed in Osong-test site after laboratory test and yard test. In this paper, newly –developed Polycork ERS rail fastening system was tested and the embedded track system was tested in the field
