ABSTRACT
Building energy saving and safe evaluation for engineering structures have obtained the worldwide attention. It is much of importance for developing a new kind of building material, which can integrate green energy saving with self-sensing properties of functional material. In this paper, based on the excellent properties of elasto-optic effect of optical fibre, a novel smart transparent concrete is researched by arranging the optical fibres into the concrete. To evaluate the effectiveness of the smart transparent concrete, long-term durability based on freezing and thawing test, and self-sensing property based on stress elasto-optic effect test are made respectively. The experiments results show that the smart transparent concrete has good transparency, mechanical and self-sensing properties.
