Slope Stability Assessment Using Optimization Techniques: an Overview
نویسندگان
چکیده
Slope stability analysis has received increased attention recently. Slope stability problems may be solved using both deterministic and probabilistic approaches and can be characterized as optimization problems. In the deterministic approach, the factor of safety is the function to be minimized, and for probabilistic analysis, the reliability index is considered the objective function. The search for the minimum factor of safety or the reliability index is a very complicated optimization problem, and many successful optimization methods have been employed to solve this problem. This paper presents a survey of the literature on the various optimization methods applied to solving slope stability problems.
