Main factors, which should be considered in the classification of dyke foundation, are discussed in this paper. Engineering conditions should be taken into accoun t when the levee safety is appraised based on engineering geologic appraisement and classificatio n. On the basis of safety appraisement, dyke foundation may be classified with regard of suitable r einforcement measures. Examples are presented to illustrate the instructive significance of dyke foundation cla ssification to dyke reinforcement design.
