Development and practice of multi-functional teaching experiment platform for steel structures

We described the implementing procedure of a multi-functional teaching experiment platform for steel structures in civil engineering developed by Tongji University in terms of the innovation of test set-up and the practice of teaching experiment.It is the first teaching experimental platform for steel structures in P.R.China,integrating advanced test facilities and technology,state-of-the-art research outcome and practical engineering issues into teaching experiments for undergraduates and postgraduates.Favorable feedbacks show that this platform helps students to foster practice ability and creative consciousness.
