摘要
In this research, concrete containing different percentages of lead powder and silica fume was investigated as a gamma shield. Gamma photons emitted from gamma sources of Cs-137 and Co-60 were passed through concrete specimens and detected by two inches NaI(Tl) detector to investigate the attenuation coefficients of the specimens. Next, the compressive strengths of the specimens were experimentally studied. A comparison of concrete with and without silica fume revealed that although the addition of silica fume results in a slight reduction of the attenuation coefficient, which is negligible, it increases the compressive strength of concrete significantly. The results suggest the usefulness of 15% silica fume in concrete containing lead as a gamma shield. (c) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
