Radiation shielding potential of ultra-high strength concrete from agro-industrial waste
Ultra-high strength concrete produced with agro-residual wastes and industrial by-products were tested for radiation shielding capacity by measuring the linear attenuation coefficient, half value layer and tenth value layer. The linear attenuation test results, show that the ul- tra-high...

| Summary: | Ultra-high strength concrete produced with agro-residual wastes and
industrial by-products were tested for radiation shielding capacity by
measuring the linear attenuation coefficient, half value layer and tenth
value layer. The linear attenuation test results, show that the ul- tra-high
strength concrete with agro-residual and industrial wastes can be
effectively employed in shielding the radiation. The half value layer
results reveal that radiation shielding concretes can be produced using
industrial and agro-residual wastes, by concentrating equally on the
enhancement of both the homogeneity and density of the concrete matrix. The
ultra-high strength concrete developed in this investigation registered a
better radiation shielding properties than that of the conventional
anti-radiation shielding concretes with high dense aggregates which are
costlier and found to have environmental degradation along with the health
hazards. |
