Abstract

Abstract: This experimental study of translucent concrete which has the property of transmitting light from concrete by using optical fibers. Since years concrete has a low impression because of its dirty greyish colour , opaqueness and sharp edge but this concept has been changed after the development of light emitting concrete, which gives the increased strength, better looks and light transmitting features. Plastic optical fibers are used because of its total internal reflection as its working principle as it gives maximum efficiency in transmitting light. This report deals about the introduction of translucent concrete, materials used for making translucent concrete such as fine concrete, cement, optical fiber and procedure of making is also discuss for translucent concrete. After the study of different research paper results respected to 5%, 10% and 15% replacement of aggregate with optical fiber is discuss in this study.
