Performance of Concrete Made with Manganese Slag

Abstract

It is of great importance to innocuity, minimization and reutilization of manganese slag generated in manganese product by electric furnace process. In the paper, ordinary Portland cement was replaced partly by manganese slag to then evaluate manganese slag’ effect on mechanical performances of them. The experimental results obtained show that ordinary Portland cement added less than 30% by manganese slag was improved in mechanical performances and the cement concrete added less than 30% by manganese slag was not changed significantly. To lower economic cost and achieve enhanced mechanical performances, manganese slag can be substituted partly to cement concrete.
