The scaled boundary finite element method (SBFEM) is used to solve the seepage problems with multi-material regions. Two models of dam base with waterproof screen and dam body with the regions of two materials are established. The numerical solutions are obtained and then compared with the analytical results or numerical solutions in the references. The conclusion shows that the SBFEM has more satisfactory accuracy and less data preparation amount.
