Increasing the reliability of the soil slopes design using evolutionary modelling

Abstract

An issue has been discussed on determining the best value of quadrangular trench slopes, grade considering the provision of reliability for soil steady position in minimizing the quantity of the necessary earthworks. The calculation algorithm has been described including the determination of stability coefficient for a soil slope being in the ultimate rock equilibrium condition. The task is completed via the method of circular-cylindrical revolving surfaces using the genetic algorithm.
