        abstract = {Translucent concrete allows light to pass through it
because of the presence of optical fibers within the opaque
concrete wall. Light is transmitted from one surface of the
side wall to the other wall, because the presence of the
optical fibers strands along the width of the wall, which
allows the light to pass through them. The principle
objective of the project is to design translucent concrete
blocks with the use plastic optical fibers of varying
diameter and then to analyse the amount of light
transmittance by light transmittance test and then to
compare the compression strength of translucent concrete
and conventional concrete by varied diameter with same
mix ratio and the diameter used were 0.9mm and 2mm
respectively. If the spacing between the setup increased
means the illuminance of light is decreased. The
performance of translucent concrete specimens made by
using different dosages and spacings of Plastic Optical
Fibers is investigated. The results evidently shows that
translucent concrete can be successfully used as a energy
efficient construction material for sustainable construction.},
