Abstract:In response to the Ministry of Education's call to further promote the deep integration of information technology and experimental teaching of higher education, and to continuously strengthen the development and application of high-quality resources for experimental teaching in higher education, and to substantially improve the quality of experimental teaching and practice of talent education in higher education, the College of Civil Engineering of Tongji University, supported by the platform of the Civil Engineering Experimental Teaching Center of the National Experimental Teaching Demonstration Center, has developed a virtual experimental teaching platform for the mechanical behavior of reinforced concrete members. The platform focuses on the entire testing process of concrete members, including experimental design, specimen preparation, loading, measuring and data analysis, combined with the undergraduate course " Basic principles of Concrete Structures" as to achieve a mutual supplement between virtual and physical testing. It is expected that the physical experiments can be then complemented, expanded and improved. Meanwhile, the platform guides students, via intelligent guidance and assistance, to expand the application, prediction and verification of theoretical knowledge and to stimulate students’ interest in further exploring.
