Experimental, analytical, and simulation studies of modified concrete mix for radiation shielding in a mixed radiation field
Abstract The current study assessed two concrete mixes prepared using dolomite and barite/limonite aggregates to shield against both energetic photons and neutrons. After that, a designed mix which comprised barite/goethite aggregates plus fine-powdered boron carbide additive, was proposed to improv...
