An Experimental Study on Light Translucent Concrete by using Optical Fiber

This project deals with ligth translucent property of concrete by using optical fiber. This project study which not only includes aesthetical consideration but also the strengthening property of optical fiber in concrete by increasing the percentage of concrete from 1.5% to 2.5%. The study aims at producing the concrete specimens by optical fiber and comparing it with the conventional concrete. The concrete specimens were subjected to different tests such as compressive strength test, flexure strength test, and ligth translucent test etc. optical fiber are one which help for transmission of light through fiber. The concept of ligth translucent concrete. When it is used in ceiling or side wall, it is exposed to direct sun ligth which transmit the image but not completely transparent. In this paper the smart translucent concrete can be regarded as a green energy saving construction material. It is promising technology for field application in civil infrastructures.
