Abstract |
|
Since from Roman times concrete is main material for construction and infrastructures but its combinations are differencing day to day, at present situations many types of concretes are funded out by number of researchers. Now I like to give a brief description regarding the TRANSPARENT CONCRETE. It is a combination of fibre-optics and fine concrete. Mainly transparent concrete consists of only fine aggregate. Materials used in transparent concrete are sand, water, cement and optical fibres. Transparent concrete is also known as translucent concrete or light transmitting concrete. Replacement of translucent concrete in construction results in art design. Transparent fibre has a nature of fire resistance. Transparent concrete blocks are suitable for pavements, floors and load-bearing walls. Mainly partition walls, where sunlight is more available. Present our research work carried to find the transparent percentage compared to strength. |
