Anti Radiation Building Design: Local Sand Type Analysis to Get Concrete X-Radiation Resistant X-Ray

Abstract

Background : There are three ways to protect yourself from the danger of radiation, namely by regulating the length of irradiation (the effect of time), the use of anti-radiation material (shielding), and adjusting the distance from the radiation source (distance). In order to be safe in carrying out x-ray irradiation, patients and operators must take three steps so that radiation hazards can be minimized (Nunung, 2004). One way to check the danger of external radiation is to use a radiation barrier. This method is generally preferred, because it creates safe working conditions. Besides that the time and distance factors can be monitored continuously at the time of work, so that radiation workers can be guaranteed safety. Methods: This research is quantitative research with an experimental approach. The method of data collection in this study is observation, direct experiments and documentation. The types of sand to be used in this study are south beach sand, opaque sand, progo sand, white mountain sand and volcanic sand. Result : Concrete using sand material from South Beach has the lowest HVL value of 0.8644cm. Conclusion :The HVL value possessed by concrete with South Beach sand material is most effective in resisting x-ray radiation.

Analisis Perbandingan Komposisi Pasir Dan Semen Untuk Mendapatkan Beton Yang Tahan Radiasi Sinar X

“…Menurut Rahmawati (2011), Beton normal memiliki karakteristik yang bagus sebagai material perisai radiasi ditunjukkan oleh koefisien atenuasi massa yang cukup besar, hampir sama dengan koefisien atenuasi massa timbal. Sedangkan menurut Fakhrurreza (2018), campuran beton untuk perisai radiasi yang baik adalah campuran semen portland dengan jenis pasir pantai selatan karena memiliki nilai koefisien atenusi linier yang tinggi dengan nilai rata-rata 0,801697695 cm-1 dan nilai HVL yang rendah dengan rata-rata 0,865070204 cm dibanding pasir lainnya. Selain itu pasir pantai selatan memenuhi keriteria kuat tekan beton yang baik.…”

Radiation Protection Efforts in Restricting Exposure to Scattered Radiation Based on Room Analysis

“…Concrete has advantages and disadvantages. The advantages of concrete include being easy to form, can withstand heavy loads, resistant to high temperatures, low maintenance costs, and easy to obtain, while the weaknesses of concrete are difficult to change the shape when it is formed, require high accuracy, have a heavy weight, as well as great sound reflection [17]. Concrete can be replaced with other alternatives, namely by using lightweight concrete or commonly called hebel.…”
