Abstract:Experimental teaching is an important part of teaching work in colleges and universities. It is a bridge of communication between theory and practice. To improve the quality of experimental teaching and to cultivate innovative talents with high scientific research qualities, strong innovative spirits and practice abilities, two specific methods for the reform of geotechnical experimental teaching were proposed. The first method is to demand students to conduct research-oriented preview and then design and submit spreadsheets for the geotechnical experiments. The second method is to carry out numerical simulations for some geotechnical experiments and to analyze the influence factors on the experimental process. Through this teaching reform, the quality of preview and the experimental teaching can be improved and the combination between theory and practice can be promoted. Students can understand the experiment process, phenomenon and influence factors more clearly and they can learn to analyze problems deeply. This teaching reform helps to cultivate high-quality talents with solid theoretical foundation, strong engineering practice abilities and innovative abilities.

Abstract:In order to study the mechanical properties of white cardboard, bamboo skin and paulownia used by structure design contest for college students, the LDS-5 electronic tensile testing machine was used to carry out the axial tension test on 222 specimens, to investigate the stress performance of white cardboard, bamboo skin and paulownia in the condition of different thickness, width and length. The results showed that the breakage of all specimens of the three materials occurred at the normal section, and the breakage of a few specimens of the bamboo skin and paulownia occurred at the oblique section. In the course of the specimens' loading, because the tension was exerted eccentrically, the ultimate bearing capacity of specimens was weakened. White cardboard specimens' length change had no significant effect on ultimate bearing capacity of the specimens. Bamboo skin materials' ultimate strength showed a nonlinear growth with thickness increases. Considering the strength, structural weight and other factors, the 0.35 mm-thickness bamboo skin materials were most suitable for the production of cable structures. Elastic modulus and ultimate tensile strength of different materials, as well as the fitting formula of relationship between ultimate bearing capacity of tension member (P_u) and widget width (D) were obtained, to provide a more scientific design basis for students' structure design and to provide a more accurate performance data for structure simulation analysis.
