It is of great importance to innocuity, minimization and reutilization of manganese slag generated in manganese products by electric furnace process. In the paper, ordinary Portland cement is replaced by manganese slag part then to evaluate manganese slag's influence on the mechanical properties. The experimental results obtained show that ordinary Portland cement added less than 20% by manganese slag was improved in mechanical performances and the cement concrete added less than 20% by manganese slag was not changed significantly. To reduce the economic costs, enhance mechanical properties, manganese slag can replace part of cement concrete.

“…The increasing interest of archaeologists and conservators in the study of ancient cement materials like plasters and mortars is related to the necessity of understanding their application, durability, and production technology; producing compatible materials for restoration; and using their components for dating their archaeological context and accompanied artifacts (Baronio et al 1999;Franzini et al 2000;Elert et al 2002;Elsen 2006;Pesce et al 2011;Al-Bashaireh and Hodgins 2012).

This article presents accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) radiocarbon dates of organic inclusions of cement materials from the House XVII-XVIII Complex located in the Umm el-Jimal archaeological site, east Jordan, aiming at refining the unclear chronology of the house. Fine straws and small fragments of charcoal uncovered from preserved architectural lime mortars and plasters were dated without carrying out extensive excavations. The results indicate that the house most probably was initially plastered or built during the middle of the Byzantine period. The results agree with the historical and archaeological data indicating that Umm el-Jimal flourished during this period; therefore, it is probable that the house was established during this time to meet the housing demand for the increased number of its population.

“…The assessment of water-repellent and acid-repellent treatments can be obtained by determination of color, water-stone contact angle, water-vapor permeability, acid resistance and soiling resistance, etc [5][6][7]. The consolidation efficiency is determined by the porosity and pore size distribution of the treated stone, depth of penetration and some artificial weathering tests [8][9][10], which are helpful in building up an overall picture on consolidation of the treated stone, but they do not give any direct indication of the consolidation effectiveness.…”

Historic stone materials have to deal with weathering. The desire to preserve cultural heritage created a wide variety of products to reduce the rate of stone decay and to strengthen decayed stone, but it is difficult to evaluate their protective efficiencies. In this paper, a simple preparation method of an imitation of weathering stone is reported. The imitation was prepared with calcium carbonate particles mixed with water. Then, using imitations as the consolidated objects, the consolidation efficiency of a novel biomimetic protectant was investigated. The experimental results indicate that the evaluation method is simple and feasible, and the selected protectant does perform a favorable function of consolidant. The characterization method is helpful in numerically giving some direct indications of the consolidation effectiveness.
