Radiation shielding of ultra-high-performance concrete with silica sand, amang and lead glass

Barite in Malaysia is limited; therefore, a locally available alternative source must be identified to meet the requirements of high-density concrete for radiation shielding. We selected steel fibre-reinforced ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) samples with different inert materials, namely, sil...
