Abstract: The design principles and main functions of the computer aided dike safety assessment system are introduced briefly. The system, which has a user-friendly interface, is a practical application system. It has an open structure for future extension and also has a smooth connection with the design database. Reliable programs of slope stability analysis and seepage analysis are provided in the system. All the related analysis programs are consistent with the present dike design criteria. According to the analysis results, the system can present the key data related to the safety status of the river dikes, which may helpful to the decision-making of flood control.
