Summary:Hierarchical genetic algorithm (HGA) are widely used in most engineering, this paper aims to propose an optimization model of soil-nail bracing by application the hierarchical genetic algorithm. In the process of optimization, soil nailing cost is setted as the objective function and the internal overall stability of the soil nailing is setted as primary controlling factor. Finally, an example is cited to verify the optimization model. By comparison the traditional genetic algorithm with the HGA, it is concluded that HGA optimization model of soil-nail bracing gets better economic effect.
