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.
