Abstract

Energy saving and safety measurements are two key factors for infrastructure. This paper highlights the development of unique smart transparent concrete using optical fibers. Light-transmitting concrete, also known as translucent concrete, is literally the brightest concrete development in recent years. Strands of optical fibers are cast by the thousands into concrete to transmit light, either natural or artificial, into all spaces surrounding the resulting translucent panels. The material can be used in a variety of architectural and interior design applications. Smart transparent concrete can be termed as a “green” energy saving construction material and as a smart intrinsic sensor for long-term Structural Health Monitoring (SHM), it is a promising technology for field applications in civil infrastructure. This paper deals with modeling of transparent concrete and their usage and the benefits brought by it in the fields of smart construction.
