TRANSPARENT CONCRETE
TRANSPARENT CONCRETE is a concrete based building material with light-transmissive properties due to embedded light optical elements — usually optical fibers. Light is conducted through the stone from one end to the other. Therefore the fibers have to go through the whole object. This results into a certain light pattern on the other surface, depending on the fiber structure. Shadows cast onto one side appear as silhouettes through the material.
Trasnparent Concrete (LITRACON)
This document discusses transparent concrete, including its history, manufacturing process, materials used, properties, advantages, disadvantages, and examples. Transparent concrete was first developed in 2001 and allows light to pass through by adding optical fibers to concrete. It is produced by casting thin concrete layers with woven fiber fabric alternately in molds. The material maintains the compressive and flexural strength of regular concrete while allowing light transmission. Examples of applications include architectural installations that glow or allow shadows to pass through. While expensive initially, transparent concrete provides energy savings by using natural light.
Transparent concrete preparation & study
1) The document discusses a student project on the preparation and study of transparent concrete.
2) Transparent concrete is made by replacing aggregates with transparent materials like optical fibers or resins to allow light transmission.
3) The project aims to prepare transparent concrete samples and test their physical and structural properties like compressive strength and transparency.
TRANSLUCENT CONCRETE
Transparent concrete is a concrete based building material with light-Tran missive properties due to embedded light optical elements usually Optical fibres. Light is conducted through the stone from one end to the other. Therefore the fibres have to go through the whole object. Transparent concrete is also known as the translucent concrete and light transmitting concrete because of its properties. It is used in fine architecture as a facade material and for cladding of interior walls. In this paper, to integrate the merits of concrete and optical fibre, for developing transparent concrete by arranging the high numerical aperture Plastic Optical Fibres (POF) or big diameter glass optical fibre into concrete. The main purpose is to use sunlight as a light source to reduce the power consumption of illumination and to use the optical fiber to sense the stress of structures and also use this concrete as an architectural purpose for good aesthetical view of the building.
Translucent concret
This document summarizes a seminar on translucent concrete. Translucent concrete is made by uniformly distributing high-performance plastic optical fibers throughout concrete. Light is transmitted through the fibers embedded in the material. It is produced similar to regular concrete but with layers of fiber alternated with concrete layers. Applications include floors, walls, partitions, and furniture where translucency and light transmission are beneficial. Advantages include energy savings from natural light transmission, but it is more expensive than traditional concrete due to the fiber addition.
LIGHT TRANSMITTING CONCRETE
The document discusses development and study of light transmitting concrete using optical and glass fibers. It provides a literature review on previous studies and discusses the objectives, methodology, results and conclusions of the present study. The methodology involved designing concrete mixes with different percentages of optical and glass fibers and testing the fresh and hardened properties. The results showed that compressive strength increased gradually with fiber content up to 1.25% optical fiber and decreased at 1.75%. The optimum mix was found to be 1.25% optical fiber and 0.5% glass fiber, gaining the highest compressive strength of 54 MPa at 90 days.

Experimental study on strength and durability properties of Transparent concreteDurga Raghavi Tripurasetty
The document summarizes an experimental study on the strength and durability properties of transparent concrete. It outlines the objectives of the study which included designing an M25 grade transparent concrete mix and evaluating its properties in fresh and hardened states. The study found that as the percentage of plastic optical fibers in the transparent concrete increased from 2.5% to 4%, the slump, weight, compressive strength, and split tensile strength of the hardened concrete also increased compared to conventional concrete without fibers. At 28 days, the compressive strength was up to 10% higher for transparent concrete with 4% fibers compared to conventional concrete. Thus, the addition of plastic optical fibers improved the strength properties of the transparent concrete.A Study on Translucent Concrete Product and Its Properties by Using Optical F...
- Translucent concrete is a concrete based material with light-transferring properties,
obtained due to embedded light optical elements like Optical fibers used in concrete. Light is conducted
through the concrete from one end to the other. This results into a certain light pattern on the other
surface, depending on the fiber structure. Optical fibers transmit light so effectively that there is
virtually no loss of light conducted through the fibers. This paper deals with the modeling of such
translucent or transparent concrete blocks and panel and their usage and also the advantages it brings
in the field. The main purpose is to use sunlight as a light source to reduce the power consumption of
illumination and to use the optical fiber to sense the stress of structures and also use this concrete as an
architectural purpose of the building
Perfomance evaluation on light transmitting concrete (translucent concrete)

2) The compressive strength of the fiber-embedded blocks was tested and found to be comparable to normal concrete/mortar, indicating the fibers do not negatively impact strength.
3) A test setup using a light dependent resistor (LDR) measured the light transmittance of the blocks, finding transmissivity of 5-10% for cement mortar and 3-6% for concrete blocks containing fibers.
Light Transmitting concrete
This document summarizes the key aspects of translucent concrete, also known as light transmitting concrete or LitraCon. It was first developed in 2003 by Hungarian architect Aron Losonzi. The concrete becomes translucent through the uniform distribution of thin optical fibers throughout the material. As light passes through the fibers, it is transmitted across the concrete through the process of total internal reflection. The manufacturing process involves casting thousands of parallel optical fibers directly into the concrete mixture. This allows light to pass through the material while maintaining its compressive strength. Some applications of translucent concrete include illuminated sidewalks, building walls, and stairwells.

Transparent concrete as an eco-friendly material for building
Engineers have now developed concrete mixtures that are capable of transmitting light. By switching the ingredients of traditional concrete with transparent ones, or embedding fibre optics, translucent concrete has become a reality. Light Transmitting concrete, also known as translucent concrete. The main purpose was to use sunlight as a light source in order to reduce the power consumption of illumination. Translucent concrete is a concrete based material with light-transmissive properties, obtained due to embedded light optical elements like Optical fibres in it. Light is conducted through the stone from one end to the other. Translucent concrete is also used in the smart construction. Therefore the fibres have to go through the whole object. Transparent concrete is also known as the translucent concrete and light transmitting concrete because of its properties. It is used in fine architecture as a facade material and for cladding of interior walls. Light transmitting concrete is one of the fibre reinforced concrete which is used for aesthetic application by incorporating the optical fibres in concrete. Optical fibres are one which helps for transmission of light through fibre. The end-lite type of fibre is used to increase the aesthetic appearance of the concrete. The concept of light transmitting concrete is like a transparent concrete. When it is used in ceiling or side wall, it is exposed to direct sun light which transmit the image but not completely transparent. In this paper the smart translucent concrete can be regarded as a green energy saving construction material. It is a promising technology for field applications in civil Infrastructure.

The fibers allow light to pass through the material and create shadows on the opposite side. The material was invented in 2001 by Hungarian architect Áron Losonczi. It is produced as prefabricated blocks by Litracon Bt in Hungary. The fibers must span the entire block to maintain its light transmitting properties. Potential applications include walls, partitions, and artistic installations. However, high production costs currently limit its widespread use.

THESIS PRESENTATION.pptx
This document presents a research project on the experimental analysis of translucent concrete blocks using resin. The research aims to study the compressive strength, water permeability, and ultrasonic pulse velocity of resin translucent concrete blocks. Various materials used include cement, sand, resin, and water. The blocks were cast in wooden molds of 150mm x 150mm x 150mm size using different percentages of resin strips. The blocks were then cured and subjected to compressive strength, water permeability, and ultrasonic pulse velocity tests to analyze the properties and performance of the translucent concrete blocks containing resin. The results were also compared with standard concrete blocks without resin.

This document describes an experimental analysis of translucent concrete made using plastic optical fibers. Translucent concrete allows light to pass through it due to the inclusion of plastic optical fibers in the cement mixture. The study produced concrete blocks with different mixtures of cement, fly ash, sand and optical fibers. The compressive strength and light transmittance of the blocks were then tested and compared to normal concrete. The results showed that the compressive strength of translucent concrete was similar to normal concrete, while the blocks were able to transmit light through themselves due to the optical fibers.
IRJET- Experimental Investigation on Transmission of Light in Green Build...
This document presents research on developing translucent concrete by adding plastic optical fibers to concrete mixtures. The objectives were to determine a suitable self-compacting concrete mix, develop an effective casting procedure, and examine how light transmission varies with fiber diameter and percentage. Tests found that a mix with a cement to fine aggregate to coarse aggregate ratio of 1:1.08:1.64 achieved sufficient strength. Light transmission increased with larger diameter fibers and higher fiber percentages, with 3mm diameter fibers transmitting over 4 lux of light at 9.04% fiber content. The research demonstrates that translucent concrete can effectively transmit daylight through structures to reduce energy usage.

Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.
Understanding Inductive Bias in Machine Learning
This presentation explores the concept of inductive bias in machine learning. It explains how algorithms come with built-in assumptions and preferences that guide the learning process. You'll learn about the different types of inductive bias and how they can impact the performance and generalizability of machine learning models.
The presentation also covers the positive and negative aspects of inductive bias, along with strategies for mitigating potential drawbacks. We'll explore examples of how bias manifests in algorithms like neural networks and decision trees.
By understanding inductive bias, you can gain valuable insights into how machine learning models work and make informed decisions when building and deploying them.
Hematology Analyzer Machine - Complete Blood Count
The CBC machine is a common diagnostic tool used by doctors to measure a patient's red blood cell count, white blood cell count and platelet count. The machine uses a small sample of the patient's blood, which is then placed into special tubes and analyzed. The results of the analysis are then displayed on a screen for the doctor to review. The CBC machine is an important tool for diagnosing various conditions, such as anemia, infection and leukemia. It can also help to monitor a patient's response to treatment.
Harnessing WebAssembly for Real-time Stateless Streaming Pipelines
Traditionally, dealing with real-time data pipelines has involved significant overhead, even for straightforward tasks like data transformation or masking. However, in this talk, we’ll venture into the dynamic realm of WebAssembly (WASM) and discover how it can revolutionize the creation of stateless streaming pipelines within a Kafka (Redpanda) broker. These pipelines are adept at managing low-latency, high-data-volume scenarios.
