摘要
In this paper we propose an enhanced fireworks algorithm for locating the critical slip surface giving the minimum safety factor in slope stability analysis, and we employ a concise algorithm of the Morgenstern and Price method to calculate the safety factor. To demonstrate its applicability and to illustrate the reliability and effectiveness of the proposed method, we present three benchmark examples with varying complex slopes. By comparing the minimum safety factor and the total number of iterations, the proposed method is proved to be highly competitive in terms of efficiency and accuracy.
