Abstract

The stability analysis of slope is an important and fundamental problem in geotechnical engineering, which is attracting the attention of many engineers and researchers. This paper proposes a dynamic biogeography-based optimization (BBO), to analyze slope stability problems. First, a real-world three-dimensional (3D) slope is described, and it is modeled as multiple two-dimensional (2D) slope planes, each of which is formulated as a single-objective optimization problem. Then a dynamic biogeography-based optimization algorithm, which is called DBBO, is developed by introducing change detection strategy into BBO. This strategy uses sentry solutions to detect their cost changes in different planes of a 3D slope, to reduce the unnecessary function evaluations. The proposed DBBO is applied to solve a case of classical 2D slope stability analysis and a case of 3D slope stability analysis with multiple planes established in this paper. The numerical results show that the proposed DBBO is a competitive algorithm for analyzing various slope stability problems, compared with other traditional methods.
