Optimum Design of Land Forming

Abstract

This research presents a computerized formulation of an optimum design of land forming considering land slopes in the two opposite directions as the main independent variables .Rosenbrock method of optimization is used in order to minimize the total volume of earth work (i.e cut + fill). The formulation allows considering a large number of design parameters. The least square method is be used to get the starting roles of land slopes, the four -point’s method is utilized to calculate the volume of cut and fill.
