Abstract

A Genetic Algorithm model, coupled with Finite Element Programming (GA-FEP), has been developed to create an optimal design for hydraulic structures to address seepage problems. While the objective function of the optimization model was to minimize the construction costs of the hydraulic structure, the main constraints were to satisfy safety factors concerning uplift pressure and exit gradient. The GA-FEP model proposed here meets the requirements of an optimal hydraulic design in two stages. Firstly, a validated numerical model coded using Finite-element Programming (FEP), was used to analyze seepage problems. This was followed by application of Genetic Algorithm (GA) and finite-element programming (FEP) to establish the optimum depth and location for cut-offs. A MATLAB programming code was used to create the link between the numerical and optimization model, creating a simulation–optimization (S–O) model. The effects of hydraulic conductivity and anisotropic ratios on the hydraulic structure design, were also investigated. The results indicate that the proposed GA-FEP model will provide a safe, efficient and economical hydraulic cut-off design. Evaluation of the model revealed acceptable agreement between expected and simulated seepage parameters pertinent to the hydraulic structure design.
