โฆ Synopsis
The use of steel paper clips in the amount of 5 vol.% in concrete was found to result in concrete with magnetic shielding (60 Hz) ability comparable to steel mesh. Furthermore, the paper clips did not affect the compressive strength of the concrete. The paper clips were discontinuous enough for mixing with the concrete mix, while their intertwining tendency allowed sufficient continuity for magnetic shielding.
