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 fiber, for developing transparent concrete by arranging the high numerical aperture Plastic Optical Fibres (POF) or big diameter glass optical fiber 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 fibre to sense the stress of structures and also use this concrete as an architectural purpose for good aesthetical view of the building. The binding material in transparent concrete may be able to transmit light by using clear resins the concrete mix .The Paper confines with the need of transparent concrete at present to utilize the sunlight and for architecture technologies. The new type of concrete can satisfy the green energy saving with its own Natural properties.
