Binary composite crossover genetic algorithm for locating critical slip surface.

ABSTRACT: Solving slope stability problems requires determining the critical slip surface (CSS) of a slope and its corresponding minimum factor of safety (Min. F), and determining the CSS is a complex optimisation problem. In this paper, we propose a real-coded binary composite crossover genetic algorithm (RGA-BCC) to locate the CSSs of slopes. A reasonable combination of parameters for the binary composite crossover (BCC) operator in the RGA-BCC is determined through six benchmark function experiments. On this basis, the stability of five soil slopes from the literature was analysed using the RGA-BCC in combination with the Morgenstern and Price method, and the results obtained were compared with those in the published literature to demonstrate that the RGA-BCC is able to efficiently determine the
