Abstract
The present invention provides an improved multilayered storage structure composite material. The composite contains a fibrous mat made from interwoven fibers, preferably metallic fibers, that is encased with a concrete-based mixture to form a mat layer. At least one concrete-based layer is also disposed within the composite, and this concrete-based layer preferably contains at least one shielding additive. The composite material is preferably formed into a containment vessel for the storage of hazardous, radioactive, and mixed waste materials.
