| Abstract– In many years it was required to improve the mechanical and radiation shielding properties of concrete. we found that the mechanical properties, including hardness, tensile strength of these radiation shielding blocks were reduced with increasing of the amount of radiation shielding.in this studies we use conductive material in the shielding of concrete against radiation of EMP such as (Steel slag, steel mesh, basalt, and steel fibres) to study tier effect on the shielding against radiation of electromagnetic pulse (EMP). For many years the electromagnetic pulse (EMP) causes a big problem for the humanity. Electromagnetic pulse (EMP) typically refers to high power electromagnetic (HPEM) waves ranging from 100 kHz–100 MHz which damages the building structures and military equipment Depending on its source, EMP can be classified into three categories, i.e., nuclear EMP (NEMP) caused by a nuclear explosion, non-nuclear EMP (NNEMP), or international electromagnetic interference (IEMI) in which electromagnetic waves are directly generated by electromagnetic bombs or high power electromagnetic generators, and lightning EMP (LEMP) caused by natural phenomena such as lightning and huge current flow |
