Reinforced concrete structure is one of the most important technical courses for the majors of civil engineering and hydraulic engineering. This subject is closely associated with the design code for reinforced concrete structures, which will provide some basic fundamentals and skills for the students in their careers after graduating. However, due to the revision of the design code for reinforced concrete structures, the teaching contents of this subject are required to adjusted and updated. By comparing the old and new codes, this paper listed the revised contents within the newly published design code which may have significant effect on the study and project design of students. It will help the students understand the theoretical background of the design code of reinforced concrete structures and follow the tracks of development of reinforced concrete structures.
