Analysis of Concrete by Using Silico Manganese Slag as a Partial Replacement of Fine & Coarse Aggregate – A Review

Presently in India, due to limited modes of practices of utilization, huge amount of iron and Silico manganese slag dumped in yards of each production unit and engaging of important agricultural land and grave pollution to whole environment. This review presents utilization trends of Silico manganese slag and possible potentials for large-scale employment of Silico manganese slag in Indian context. This project aim is to study experimental investigation about the effect of partial replacement of coarse aggregates by Silico manganese slag (SMS), on the 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% & 20% strength and durability properties of concrete, by using the mix design of M30 grade. The optimum percentage of replacement of coarse aggregate by Silico manganese slag is found. This study is carried out to determine the feasibility of using Silico manganese slag as partial replacement for coarse aggregates of M30 grade with different replacement percentages i.e. (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%&20%). In this present study, physical and chemical characteristics of Silico manganese slag are to be analysed and then the research progress of Silico manganese slag with natural aggregate concrete cubes are to be casted by using mix design M30 and are cured for 7 days & 28 days. The mechanical properties of hardened concrete were to be carried out according to IS codes. For mechanical properties of concrete (i.e., Destructive Testing Compressive strength, & Non-Destructive Testing - Rebound hammer) are to be determined and investigated. By comparing the test results, it may be concluded that Silico manganese slag may be used as partial replacement of natural coarse aggregate in concrete.
