Basic principles of concrete structures is a key compulsory course for undergraduate personnel training in the civil engineering major. Experimental teaching is the key link to improve teaching quality. Based on the general situation of the experimental course of basic principles of concrete structures， this paper analyzes the current teaching status and existing problems under the background of educational reform are analyzed. In view of the characteristics of strong comprehensiveness and high applicability of experimental teaching of concrete structures, based on the principle of student-oriented and problem-oriented education, research and discussion on the innovative experimental course teaching system of concrete structures are carried out from the perspectives of structural experimental platform, course content design, experimental teaching methods and implementation schemes, as well as evaluation methods and indicators. By improving teaching schemes and evaluation indicators, changing educational concept, innovating educational method, an innovative experimental course teaching system of concrete structures will be established with scientific and reasonable teaching experimental platforms as the core. It aims to fully excavate students’ innovative potential, deepen their understanding of the basic theory and concept of concrete structures, cultivate their comprehensive practical ability, further enhance students’ practical operation ability and the ability to deal with practical engineering problems. The development of experimental technology and the improvement of teaching quality of concrete structures will be entirely promoted. The level of comprehensive quality training of civil engineering professionals will be improved.
