Abstract

AbstractThis paper aims to investigate the performance of concrete which incorporates plastic optical fibre (POF). In this study, the performance of light-transmitting concrete (LTC) specimens made by using different dosages and spacings of POF is investigated. The properties of POF are investigated and discussed. The experimental results show that LTC can provide a high light-transmitting ratio. This paper contributes to the determination of new alternatives for sustainable construction around the world. LTC can help to reduce power consumption in buildings by allowing natural light to shine into the building interior through external walls. This paper adds distinctive knowledge to the area of sustainable construction by studying the effect of POF on the properties and performance of concrete. In addition, the use of POF in concrete can lead to an increase in compressive strength.

透光混凝土的试验研究

摘要本文旨在研究塑料光纤(POF)混凝土的性能。研究了不同掺量和不同间距的POF对透光混凝土(LTC)试件性能的影响。对POF的性能进行了研究和讨论。实验结果表明，LTC具有较高的透光率。本文有助于确定世界各地可持续建筑的新选择。LTC可以通过允许自然光通过外墙照射到建筑物内部，从而帮助减少建筑物的功耗。本文通过研究POF对混凝土性能和性能的影响，为可持续建筑领域增添了独特的知识。此外，在混凝土中使用POF可导致抗压强度的增加。
