EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF LIGHT-TRANSMITTING CONCRETE USING OPTICAL FIBER
The purpose of this study is to obtain concrete samples by reinforcing optical fibers and compare it with conventional concrete. Concrete samples were subjected to various tests - a test for compressive strength, a test for light transmission. The compressive strength results obtained for translucent concrete samples were approximately the same as for conventional concrete samples. Thus, the transparency of concrete structures can be introduced with the insertion of optical fibers without compromising the strength, which allows for new advances in modern architecture.
