Aggregates to be Used in Shielding High Density Concrete: For making shielding concrete heavy weight aggregate having a specific gravity between 3.5 to 4.0 is needed. There are many aggregates whose specific gravity is more than 3.5 for making a heavy weight concrete. Some of natural commercially used aggregates are as follows: 1. Barite . 2.

When exceptionally heavy aggregates are used, the Prepakt method offers several advantages. In this method, coarse aggregates are first placed in the forms and the interstices are filled later with a special grout. Segregation is minimized and concrete of uniform density and composition can be placed in restricted areas and around embedded objects.

Akkurt et al. [16] reported that the increment in barite aggregate which is a heavy aggregate determining the density of mixture has an importance on the design of satisfactory concrete shields against gamma rays. Although the highest density-concrete produced by use of heavy aggregates is generally desired in terms of shielding capability [17], it is known that an …

Typically using barites the density will be in the region of 3,500kg/m 3, which is 45% greater than that of normal concrete, while with magnetite the density will be 3,900kg/m 3, or 60% greater than normal concrete. Very heavy concretes can be achieved with iron or lead shot as aggregate, 5,900kg/m 3 and 8,900kg/m 3 respectively.

When designing a concrete mix, there is an entire smorgasbord from which to choose, depending on the application. Engineers usually need just a normal-weight product that will carry a heavy load or to stay put when it's buried, or they may prefer something quite a bit lighter for hoisting large panels into place to create an attractive building facade.
