Abstract:Steel and concrete composite structures have been widely used in civil engineering, but there are still gaps in the teaching practice of composite structure experiments for undergraduates. In response to this situation, School of Civil Engineering of Tongji University sets up a teaching reform project involves steel and concrete composite members based on the existing basic principles of steel structures experimental course. In this project, testing equipment and instrumentations are developed, the specimens of steel and concrete composite beams are designed, the scope of the key knowledge points is clarified, and the standards for curriculum assessment are proposed. The course reform strives to enable students to master the concept of composite structural members and the method of experiment, improve the experimental operation and data processing abilities, recognize the performance advantages of composite structures in engineering applications, strengthen the engineering practice and comprehensive analysis abilities, and compensate the deficiencies of the existing steel structure experimental teaching content.
