Concrete-known for its inert properties-plays a pivotal role in nuclear and radioactive waste
storage, providing a robust barrier against radiation. Blended concrete made up of …

Promoting concrete quality is a logical inevitable choice for humanity in global revolutionary
development. This study highlights one of the most important types of concrete, namely, the …

This research examines the properties of ultra-high-performance (UHPC) and heavyweight
radiation shielding concrete (UHPHSC). Several types of heavy-weight fine aggregates …

Minerals such as ilmenite and magnetite better absorb gamma rays compared with silica
aggregates because of their elevated densities. However, utilizing such minerals as key …

This investigation aims to study the effect of replacing 100% of fine and coarse aggregates
with heavyweight aggregates and adding nano titanium (NT) and nano silica (NS) on …

This paper explores the characteristics of ultra-high-performance heavyweight radiation
shielding concrete by using many types of radiation-resistant aggregates. The experimental …

In this contribution the effect of nanosilica (NS) on the behavior of cement mortars containing
quartz aggregate and two types of heavyweight aggregates (magnetite and barite) exposed …
