The reinforced concrete structure course is a technically fundamental subject for majors such as civil engineering and hydraulic engineering. The course contains many concepts and ideas concerning the structural seismic resistance. The Wenchuan earthquake occurred on May 12, 2008 resulted in cracking, damage and even collapse of large amount of reinforced concrete structures. Therefore, in the course teaching, seismic concepts and ideas are transferred to students from the viewpoints of structural ductility, confined concrete, and “stronger column and weaker beam” based on analysis of different collapse behaviors of structures. As a result, it strengthens students’ understanding about the seismic design of reinforced concrete structures and stimulates their interest in studying the course, which is a foundation for their following courses such as seismic design of the buildings and high-rise buildings.
