Abstract :
In this study the linear attenuation coefficient (µ) and the half value layer (HVL) of some building materials like iron, concrete, cement and clay used in Sudan as a combined with the lead have been investigated, the results have been experimentally determined using Cs-137 and Co-60 source and compared with the theoretical values. The measurements were performed for radiation intensity without shielding and with specific thickness of selected samples using ion chamber placed at 2 meters from Cs-137 and Co-60. An obtained results showed that the linear attenuation coefficient (µ) has a linear relationship with the corresponding densities of the samples studied and inversely with photon energy, and the half value layer (HVL) was proportional directly with photon energy. As a results of this evaluation the lead combined with the selected materials as indicated above showed an improvement the efficiency of building materials as the gamma ray shielding.
