“土力学”科教融合课程建设探讨

Discussion on the Construction of Research-Education Integrated Course of Soil Mechanics

土力学是连续介质力学理论与土体散粒工程特性紧密结合在一起的一门学科,知识更新快。土力学教材更新周期长,科教存在一定程度的不匹配矛盾,科教融合是解决问题的一个有效途径,可以有效提升学生对土力学理论和应用的理解。通过介绍“土力学”课程特点与现状,以土力学基础之一的太沙基固结理论为例,给出了典型的科教融合案例,提出了以教材为主、科研案例分析为辅的科教融合的教学方法,并给出了具体的教学措施与建议。

Soil mechanics is a continuum mechanics-based discipline closely together with soil behaviour characterized by granular engineering properties.The scientific research on soil mechanics develops rapidly,resulting in the fast update of the knowledge in the discipline.Consequently,the course textbook-based curriculum knowledge does not keep pace with scientific developments.This paper proposes a teaching method with research and education integration for settling the conflict between the rapidly scientific development and the long circle of textbook renew.The distinguishing feature in the course is generalized and typical cases based on Terzaghi’s consolidation theory are provided.It is suggested that research including the useful case analyses should be used as complement to the textbook.
