The concrete presently used in the construction industry primarily consists of cement, water and aggregates. As we know, traditional concrete is grayish in color, therefore its high density does not allow the light to pass through it. As it can be clearly visualized that translucent concrete will permit a friendly association between the environment and construction, thereby creating ambiances that are better and more naturally lit, at the same time as significantly reducing the expenses of laying and maintenance of the concrete. In addition to the translucent characteristics, the study gives an idea about the reinforcement method of this type of concrete such that this can be practically implemented as a load bearing structure. Thus this new innovation can help in enhancing the efficiency of green buildings, therefore making it an efficient inclusion of construction industry.
