Stability of soil slope in Almaty covered with steel slag under the effect of rainfall.

The issue of rainfall-induced slope failure has attracted more attention from geotechnical engineers as a consequence of global warming. Current cumulative waste disposal has generated scientific interest in the utilization of waste materials in geotechnical design for climate change adaptation measures. Taking into consideration the effect of slope height and angle, steel slag-a waste product derived from the production of steel-was investigated as a slope cover against rainfall.
