In recent years, full-scale specimens for seismic test were important to safety assessment of the structure in nuclear power plants but the full-scale tests were not easy to realize due to the limited capable of the existing shaking table capacity. In Taiwan, it was first time to construct a 1/25 scale-down reinforced concrete reactor building specimen in a nuclear power plant and conduct to study the dynamic properties using shaking table test. The specimen was with a length of 2.9 m, width of 2.9 m, height of 2.9 m and weight of 28 tons and cast using the non-demoulding technology and self-consolidating concrete. The entirety structure was composed of a primary containment (thickness of 10 cm), a secondary containment (thickness of 7.5 cm) and three floors (thickness of 30 and 15 cm). The comparison of measured and calculated results demonstrate that ETABS numerical model was satisfactory and can be further used for numerical shaking table tests and real life structures.
