This paper investigates the microstructural, chemical, and radiation shielding characteristics of rice husk ash-based self-compacting concrete (RHA-SCC) and its precursors – rice husk ash (RHA) and ordinary Portland cement (OPC). Several radiation attenuation parameters of RHA-SCC, RHA, and OPC have...
