Abstract
Portland cement mixed with different percentages of granulated lead is studied as shields for gamma radiation. The samples are cured at 100% relative humidity for various time intervals. It is found that cement containing 5% lead has the higher attenuation coefficient value. The results are interpreted by study of the bulk density and the compressive strength of the pastes. The formation of more packed structure of tobermorite by lead addition is studied using the XRD analysis and the SEM micrographs.
