Abstract:
Transportation infrastructure is important to the “the Belt and Road Initiative”. The motivation of initiative sponsored by China originates from the international talent cultivation for the “New Engineering” . With the development of transportation engineering, a country with strong transportation network is an important moral education and intellectual education, and teaching designs of performance of geosynthetic-reinforced and pile-supported (GRPS) embankment as well as the mechanisms of soil arching effects are conducted. Based on the classical engineering cases of GRPS embankment, both laboratory tests and numerical simulations to model macro-micro soil arching effects are added into the multi-module international teaching course of embankment engineering, which contributes to improve the mechanical theoretical knowledge, the practical ability and the innovation education level of civil engineering students. The intellectual level and engineering attainment of civil engineering students can be promoted in order to satisfy a quick development of civil engineering and requirements of international labor market.
