Imperialistic Competitive Algorithm: A metaheuristic algorithm for locating the critical slip surface in 2-Dimensional soil slopes
In this study, Imperialistic Competitive Algorithm (ICA) is utilized for locating the critical failure surface and computing the factor of safety (FOS) in a slope stability analysis based on the limit equilibrium approach. The factor of safety relating to each trial slip surface is calculated using...
