Large Storage Tank Structure Design Cases-Based Teaching in Teaching Reform for Major of Oil&Gas Storage and Transportation Engineering

As one of the compulsory courses of oil and gas storage and transportation engineering,“Strength Design and Safety Management of Storage and Transportation Facilities”is a comprehensive course of both practicality and theory.In order to solve the unbalanced distribution of theoretical and applied content in the teaching process,the teaching team reformed the teaching mode of the structure design of large storage tanks in the course of“Strength Design and Safety Management of Storage and Transportation Facilities”and introduced case-based teaching.On the basis of the original course,practical engineering case analysis such as wind-induced buckling of large storage tank and uneven settlement of tank foundation was added,which increased the proportion of application content.It is a new type of discussion teaching integrating case collection,group discussion and afterclass experience exchange.According to the recent three years of teaching practice,students’interest in this course has increased greatly and teaching quality has improved significantly,which fully verified the feasibility of engineering case-based teaching in teaching reform.The teaching team has gradually improved the teaching process according to the relevant experience and lessons in classroom practice and made a successful attempt in the teaching reform of storage and transportation structure safety courses,which is of positive significance for training application-oriented composite talents with the ability to solve practical problems in the new era.
