Experimental Study on Light Transparency of Concrete by Using Optical Fiber

Now a day's Concrete is used in large quantities almost everywhere mankind has a need for infrastructure. Light transmitting concrete is a concrete based building material with light-Trans missive properties due to embedded light optical elements usually Optical fibers. It is Green Energy saving material by using sunlight as a light source to reduce the power consumption of illumination. In this paper, usage of optical fiber and it is strength along with its transparent is studied. Materials used for this concrete is cement, sand, optical fiber, water. Different tests were carried out on the concrete specimens like compressive strength test and light transmission test. This type smart concrete can be considered as green energy saving material & it is a promising technology for field applications in civil infrastructure.
