Publisher's Synopsis
Concrete For Radiation Shielding: Compilation No. 1 is a technical publication by the American Concrete Institute that provides comprehensive information on the use of concrete for radiation shielding. The book covers the principles of radiation shielding and the properties of concrete that make it an effective material for this purpose. It includes detailed guidance on the design, construction, and testing of concrete structures for radiation shielding, as well as recommendations for the selection of concrete materials and mixtures. The book also includes case studies and examples of concrete shielding applications in various industries, including nuclear power plants, medical facilities, and research laboratories. This publication is intended for engineers, architects, and other professionals involved in the design and construction of radiation shielding structures, as well as students and researchers in the field of nuclear engineering.Additional Authors Include B. E. Foster, Harold S. Davis, Frederick L. Brown, And Others. A Compilation Of Papers On Use Of Concrete For Shielding Nuclear Radiation And The Calculation Of Proportions And Properties Of Various Heavy Concretes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
