Abstract:
The complexity of dynamic properties of soils and the great positive effects of experiments on the theories and practices of soil dynamics highlight the importance of experimental teaching in this course. We analyzed the problems existing in the current experimental teaching of soil dynamics, and introduced the innovative macromeso perspectives into this course in research universities, to cultivate students’ abilities of abstracting scientific problems from macro phenomena and revealing the mechanisms from mesoobservations. Then the dynamic properties and engineering behaviors of soils could be properly learned by the students and their capabilities of engineering practice are strengthened.
