Optimization Design of Gravity Dam Section Based on PSO Algorithm
Liang Hu, Yi Zhi Li · Advanced materials research · 2012
Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm is a technique for optimization based on iteration, which initializes system to product a series of random solutions, in this solution space, particles commit themselves to search for a better solution and in the final the optimal one is found. Applying this algorithm to the design of gravity dam section then we find: PSO, as shown by the example given in this paper, is an available algorithm which is not only tally with the actual situation, but safe and economical. So, PSO provides a new idea and method for optimization design of gravity dam section.
