Translucent concrete allows light to pass through it because of the presence of optical fibers within the opaque concrete wall. Light is transmitted from one surface of the said wall to the other, because of the presence of optical fiber strands along the width of the wall, which allows light to pass through. The principal objective of this project is to design translucent concrete blocks with the use of glass optical fibers, and then analyze their various properties and characteristics. All tests further performed on our concrete samples and on the optical fibers as such were done to ascertain the improvements of the casted blocks over normal concrete blocks of the same size and with the same design ratios, and to ascertain the practical utility of using translucent concrete as a building material for green building development.
