Because of that hydraulic turbine eccentric turning caused powerhouse vibration, it made the powerhouse wall cracks. With dynamic finite element software (DLLGDS) analyzed powerhouse dynamic response. The ratio of frequency of first vibration mode of powerhouse to eccentric turning frequency of hydraulic turbine was 0.95, it caused resonance between powerhouse and hydraulic turbine and powerhouse cracks. The key as to solve the problem was to change vibration frequency of powerhouse, this was easier and less cost than repairing hydraulic turbine, so using reinforced concrete beam attached upstream wall of powerhouse to dam. This way increased rigidity of powerhouse and its main vibration frequency, made the ratio of the frequency of first vibration mode of powerhouse to eccentric turning frequency of hydraulic turbine to be bigger than 4.5, therefore avoided resonance
