Effect of nano ferrosilicon and heavyweight fine aggregates on the properties and radiation shielding of ultra-high performance heavyweight concrete

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 elements in ultra-high performance heavyweight concrete (UHPHWC) demonstrates promising outcomes, in addition to the enhanced...
