The seismic courses of engineering structure are comprehensive professional courses of civil engineering. There are many tedious theories in engineering structure seismic courses, and some knowledge points are related to the latest development of structural seismic technology. Through experiment practice, students' understanding of engineering structural seismic theory and technology can be strengthened. At present, there is no experiment teaching content matching with seismic courses of engineering structures or sporadic seismic experimental projects are not systematic. Based on the analysis of the present situation of structural experiment teaching and the class teaching content of engineering seismic courses, it is suggested to set up two groups of experiment teaching programs: (1) seismic performance related structural experiment; (2) mechanical performance experiment of building and bridge vibration-control devices.
