In 2001 the idea of transparent concrete was
put forward by Hungarian architect
Aron Losonzi.

Total Internal Reflection
When a ray of light travels from a denser to a rarer medium
such that the angle of incidence is greater than the critical
angle, the ray reflects back into the same medium this
phenomena is called total internal reflection.

Cement: Ordinary Portland cement is used
for transparent concrete.
9
Water: Water to be used for transparent
concrete should be of drinking water
quality.
10
The manufacturing process of transparent concrete is almost
same as regular concrete.
11
Another method-
Many holes are punched on side walls of the mould.
Optical fibres have to be run through these holes from one end
to the other.

Energy saving can be done by utilization of transparent
concrete in building.
It has very good architectural properties for giving good
aesthetical view to the building.
Floors
Ceiling
Sillhouttes of trees
Pavements
Load-bearing walls
Partitions wall
Panels illuminate in different
colours

In furniture for the decorative and aesthetic
purpose.
