AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON EFFICIENCY & COST ANALYSIS OF PELLUCID CONCRETE

Author(s) Mr. Suhail Shabir, Ajay Vikram
Country India
Abstract Pellucid concrete is a concrete based material with light transmitting properties, which is obtained by using plastic optical fibre in it. Light is transmitted through the fibre from one end to another end which results into a lighting pattern on the other surface, depending on the fibre diameter and percentage used. Plastic optical fibres transmit light so effectively that there is virtually zero percent loss of light. Use of pellucid concrete increases the visual appearance of the structure but there is a little increase in the cost of structure.
Optical fibre of diameter 0.2 mm and 0.5mm is used in this study. The amount of optical fibre used is 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, and 2% by weight of cement. Experiments which shows the behavior of pellucid concrete that were carried out to check its properties i.e. compressive strength, flexural strength, light transmission & workability are compression test, flexure test, slump test and light transmission test. While performing experiments fibre were placed parallel as well as perpendicular to the load applied, so as to check the compressive strength in both forms.
Compressive strength increased continuously in parallel loading with major strength change on addition of 1% plastic optical fibre, while in perpendicular loading it decreased after 1% use of plastic optical fibre. Flexural strength also increased continuously but major change was seen on addition of 1% plastic optical fibre.
To check light transmission through pellucid blocks, light transmission test was carried with the help of Lux metre. Cost analysis has also been done in this study, to check whether cost of pellucid concrete increases or decreases.
