What is light transmitting Cementitious Composite (LTCC)?
In other research, a novel light transmitting cementitious composite (LTCC) was developed by substituting microencapsulated phase change material (MPCM) to diminish the building energy utilization through transmitted light via the concrete .
Which composite sample has the highest light transmission rate?
The innovative composite sample of Tempered glass and resin (B3) showed the highest light transmission compared to other samples, so that its light transmission rate is 10 times that of other samples. It was also observed that the amount of light transmission can be significantly increased by polishing resin-based samples. 3.
Can tempered glass be used for light transmitting concrete?
Also, waste tempered glass (WTG) in light transmitting can be used as the aggregate for creating light transmitting concrete . LiTraCon is a good alternative for conventional building wall materials such as brick, AAC block, or other opaque materials.
How much light will pass through different light transmitting concrete?
Therefore, it is unclear how much light will pass through different light transmitting concrete in various places such as galleries, offices, or other spaces walls (with 3–15% optical fibers continent) in different locations and how much electrical energy will be saved.
Can glass be used as a substitute for optical fibers in concrete?
Spiesz et al. also used glass aggregate waste as a substitute for optical fibers in concrete, but due to glass being immersed in cement mortar, the possibility of light passing through even when the samples were cut and turned into thin tiles was almost zero.
What is light-transmitting concrete?
In , Zhi et al. introduced a smart light-transmitting concrete building material made with plastic optical fibers (POF) and Fiber Bragg grating (FBG). Also, a type of transparent concrete was presented by Joel S. and Sergio O.G. which had 30% the weight of standard concrete and transmitted 80% of light.
