Double mutation genetic algorithm and its application to the critical slip surface search by Wei QIN

“…The algorithm is combined with the simplified Bishop method to calculate the examination questions provided by ACADS and a seawall slope problem. The results show that (1) for both homogeneous and heterogeneous slopes, this method can accurately search the critical slip surface of the slope and calculate the corresponding safety factor. (2) Compared with genetic algorithms that only carry out direct mutation or detect mutation, the double mutation genetic algorithm has stronger global search ability and better robustness, and has a broad application prospect.…”
