Further Discussion on the Development of Steel Structure Theory and the Evolution of Steel Structure Textbooks
This paper was mainly divided into two parts:the development of steel structure theory and the evolution of steel structure textbooks.The first part briefly introduced the calculation theory of steel structure,including steel structure related buckling theory,distortion buckling theory,long-span spatial structure theory,high-strength and high-performance steel structure theory and advanced analysis theory of steel structure.Then the four stages of the development of steel structure design method were briefly introduced.In the second part,firstly,combined with the development and changes of steel structure textbooks in the past 60 years,this paper analyzed the changes of design specifications and structural performance,and pointed out that the performance of steel structure should play a leading role in textbooks.Next,the textbook system was discussed,and it was pointed out that it is more suitable to clarify the basic performance of steel structures by dividing chapters according to limit states than by components.Finally,in order to adapt to the cultivation of innovative talents,steel structure textbooks should not only be a tool for imparting knowledge,but also a platform for developing intelligence and enlightening critical thinking ability.
