A Review on Properties of Heavy Weight Concrete

Abstract With revolutionary advancements in technology, it is inevitable to not develop the quality of concrete as now a basic requirement for infrastructure. The objective this review highlight main aspects Heavy Weight Concrete which covers general concept radiation physics being used HWC, HWC applications cost optimization and future challenges. Recent researches have shown requisite can efficiently absorb attenuate thus nuclear facilities, medical facilities even modern warfare. According past studies found that be shielding from high level radiations such alpha-rays, beta-rays, X-rays gamma-rays. Some rays propagated form radioactive material halted easily but some possess ultra-penetration ability penetrate through living near them results destructive ionization biological cells being. This comprehensive reaches out several critical areas uses done by adding industrial residue steel, glass, plastic fibers other natural materials increasing atomic mass producing attenuation concrete.
