“荷载与结构设计方法”是结构理论与数学理论的结合,主要介绍结构可靠度理论以及可靠度设计统一标准与现行设计规范的联系,它将为“钢筋混凝土结构”、“钢结构”等课程学习奠定基础。通过归纳当前“荷载与结构设计方法”教学中存在的问题,提出了改进措施。首先应引导学生重视并激发其学习兴趣,然后在教学上构建教学内容的知识连贯性和系统性,并且要特别注重概念阐释与原理讲解,最后课程成绩评定宜注重在对学生激励上。 “Load and structure design method ” is a combination of structure theory and mathematical theory, mainly introduces the theory of structural reliability and the unified standard of reliability design with the current design specifications, it will be “reinforced concrete structure Steel Structure ”and other courses to lay the foundation for learning. By summarizing the existing problems in the teaching of load and structure design method, some measures for improvement are put forward. First of all, we should guide students to pay attention to and stimulate their interest in learning, and then construct the coherence and systematization of teaching content in teaching, with special emphasis on explaining the concepts and principles. Finally, the assessment of course achievements should focus on the students’ motivation.
