Classification of Database for Dam Safety Monitoring System

Aiming at the defects & deficiencies existed commonly in the database of dam safety monitoring system used currently such as large data redundancy, bad data consistent, having many difficulties in managing various monitoring data & supporting effectively dam safety monitoring system's successfully running and unsuitable for update & transform, various information, included in the database of dam safety monitoring system, are discussed further and classified in detail in this paper from the view of hydraulic structure knowledge. The structure of database designed using the method of information classification can improve the defects & deficiencies mentioned above effectively. Compared with the general design method of database, the design method of database classification is much more suitable for designing the database related with hydraulic structure engineering.
