To study the dynamic compressive mechanical properties of concrete with different aggregates (limonite and lead-zinc ore), a dynamic mechanical experiment was carried out by the Φ 100 mm SHPB equipment. Based on the coupling of the finite difference method (FDM) and the discrete element method (DEM), a three-dimensional numerical model was constructed. The effects of various strain rates and aggregate types on the dynamic mechanical properties of concrete, the dynamic increase factor (DIF), and the dynamic impact damage process were analyzed and discussed.

This study aims to investigate deterioration of radiation shielding concrete with multiple heating at different temperatures. A microwave oven was used as a heating apparatus to simulate irradiation, and 200, 300, and 400 °C were selected as experimental cycle temperatures.
