Abstract
This paper demonstrates that the addition of chemical agents and carbon fibers to cement can greatly enhance the shielding effectiveness of the concrete. In addition to improving the shielding effectiveness, carbon fibers and chemical agents enhance the tensile and flexural strengths significantly. As both carbon fibers and steel fibers are electrically conductive, both can be added to cement to enhance the shielding effectiveness, but steel fibers tend to rust whereas carbon fibers are chemically stable and inert.
