为了更好地适应以电算为主要计算手段的技术背景，提高学生对混凝土基本原理这门课程学习的积极性，提出引入开放式工具箱软件辅助混凝土基本原理的教学法。文章首先分析了手算和电算方法各自的优缺点，然后探讨了如何有效地运用工具箱软件将电算引入到手算教学中，最后结合近几年的教学实践给出引入电算教学的注意事项。教学实践表明引入工具箱软件进行混凝土基本原理的教学法是解决当前手算教学法与技术背景相脱节的有效方法。

For adapting to the technology background and improving student’s interest in the course of principles of reinforced concrete design, an auxiliary teaching method using open toolbox software for concrete members was introduced into traditional teaching method. First, advantages and disadvantages of hand calculation and computer calculation were analyzed. Then, how to introduce open toolbox software into teaching process was studied. At last, some suggestions for the teaching method based on our teaching experience were proposed. Teaching practice shows that this method is an effective way to solve the problem of separation between the tradition teaching method and the current technology background.
