Xiao Su investigated the efficiency of a hybrid simulated annealing (HSA) method for finding the minima (critical failure surfaces and factors of safety) of slope stability equations. The HSA combines a Very Fast Simulated Annealing (VFSA) and a Local Monte-Carlo (LMC) search, the latter being an optimization algorithm designed specifically for solving slope stability problems. Xiao’s work won him two consecutive Sandford Fleming Work Term Report Awards from the University of Waterloo. Click here to read his papers.
