Influence of Chemical Additives on Radiation Stability of Concrete - Theoretical Basis and Evaluation Method

Abstract:

The influence of additives on the radiation stability of the concrete will occur through the influence of radiation changes of hardened cement paste on radiation changes of concrete and can be quite significant. The test sequence was produced according to the modified method described in case [11]. The samples were prepared in the form of prisms with the following dimensions: 10 mm x 10 mm, 30 mm. Measurement series were produced after each heating and cooling sequence. Then the difference between the values before and after heating was calculated.
