Paper Details

As a part of dissertation light transmitting concrete is prepared by waste PVC pipes and polyester resin which iscapable of transmitting light through the concrete. Waste glasses is laminated with polyester resin liquid on to the surfacefacing sun and then this complete assembly is utilized to prepare light transmitting concrete that works very effectively forelectrical energy saving construction material inside the structures by utilizing light of sun for lightening in interiors andalso reduces the total dead weight of concrete buildings very effectively which is further being applied on the base of buildingin very less cost using relatively cheaper resources. The quantity and volume of cement, sand and aggregate in ordinaryconcrete of M25 grade, with that in mind dissertation was conducted. This dissertation included the manufacturing ofconcrete mix which is 1 cement: 1 sand: 2 Aggregate as per specification thoroughly with waste PVC pipes filled withchlorinated water and polyester resin and then light transmitting concrete cubes were casted. The light transmitting concretecubes was prepared of volume 150mm×150mm×150mm as we have this mould available in the laboratory. Aftermanufacturing of the cubes the different laboratory experiments as per IS Code provision are carried out to determine theworkability, compressive strength, transmissibility of exterior light and flexural strength test in accordance as specified in IS456 as well as IS-3370.
