In the present work attempt has been made to estimate the shielding parameters of the new serpentine
concrete (density = 2.4 g/cm3
) using local materials on the shielding parameters for two types of heat
resistant concretes, namely hematite–serpentine (density = 2.5 g/cm3
) and ilmenite–limonite (density
= 2.9 g/cm3
). Shielding parameters for ordinary concrete (density = 2.3 g/cm3
) were also discussed.
These parameters were determined experimentally for serpentine concrete and compared with previously
published values for other concretes,
