Light Transmitting and Self Cleansing Concrete as a Smart Building Material-a Review
The rapid growth of population has led to bigger and denser building infrastructure and as a result the energy consumption due to the interior lights is getting higher. To achieve an efficient way for saving energy, the existing concrete blocks can be replaced with a transparent concrete blocks using plastic optical fibers (POF) as the material is energy saving construction material and environment friendly as well. The present paper reviews the use of light transmitting masonry block embedded with plastic optical fibers along with the discussion of its strength parameters i.e. compressive strength. The use of self cleansing method of TiO2in concrete technology to increase the longevity of construction has also been comprehensively reviewed.
