Heavyweight concrete uses heavy natural aggregates such as barites or magnetite or manufactured aggregates such as iron or lead shot. Heavyweight aggregates as it can be seen from the name is an aggregate that posses relatively high density and it is fundamental in a situation that high density concrete is necessary. High density concrete is a concrete having a density in the range of 6000 to 6400 kg/cu.m. Heavy concrete is specially designed to have a higher density than normal concrete, which gives it unique properties and applications.
