Abstract :
Transmitting concrete is produced out of fine-grain concrete and transmitting fabric which is layer cast in prefabricated moulds. Because of relatively small amount of fabric, solidity and consistency of transparent concrete are the same as by the highstrength concretes. Energy saving and safety evaluation are two key issues for infrastructure. An optical fiber can be easily combined with concrete and that the POF could provide a steady light transmitting ratio. Moreover, the FBG can be used as a sensing element for strain and temperature. Because the smart transparent concrete can be regarded 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.
