DOI: 10.1016/j.pnucene.2020.103550
Abstract: Abstract Heavy-weight conventional concretes are traditionally used for shielding against nuclear radiations. However, mechanical properties and durability of conventional concrete are reported to be far less than that of ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) made with ultrafine… read more here.
