Binary composite crossover genetic algorithm for locating critical slip surface by Wei Qin, Jiancheng Zhao

“…A reasonable combination of parameters for the binary composite crossover (BCC) operator in the RGA-BCC is determined through six benchmark function experiments. On this basis, the stability of five soil slopes from the literature was analysed using the RGA-BCC in combination with the Morgenstern and Price method, and the results obtained were compared with those in the published literature to demonstrate that the RGA-BCC is able to efficiently determine the CSSs of slopes and their minimum factors of safety. …”
