Teaching practice in construction of structural mechanics course for civil engineering

Sun Xufen

Abstract

Structural mechanics is the main professional basic course in civil engineering. For a long time, the role of structural mechanics experiment is not so clear because it is something between the material mechanics experiment and the professional structural experiment. Therefore, most universities neglect the experimental teaching in the structural mechanics course. Based on the construction of experimental teaching platform for civil engineering undergraduates, we discussed the important role of experiment during the teaching and learning of structural mechanics.
