Abstract
Light transmitting concrete also known as transparent concrete, is the brightest building material developed in recent years . Transparent concrete or translucent concrete is work Based on the “ Nano - Optics”. Optical fibres passes as much light when tiny slits are placed directly on top of each other. They can carry because optical fibres in the concrete act like the slits and carry the light across throughout the concrete. There are 3 basic types of optical fibres : The optical graded-index fibre, multimode step-index fibre and single-mode step-index fibres . It does not lose the strength parameter and it has very vital property from the aesthetic point of view. This type of concrete can be installed at a very low cost. The application is that it can be used in decorating the interior of a hall or lobby and the ceiling to glow in dark by external lighting source and during day time the concrete glows by the light transmission from natural resource. An attempt has been made in the investigation reported in this project to study mechanical properties like Compressive strength, concrete cubes and wall panels with optical fibres and compare the results with conventional concrete.
