The aim of this paper is to investigate the performance of concrete which incorporates plastic optical fibre (POF). In this study, the performance of light-transmitting concrete specimens made by using different dosages and spacings of plastic optical fibre is investigated. The properties of plastic optical fibre are investigated and discussed. The experimental results will show that light-transmitting concrete can provide a high light-transmitting ratio. This paper contributes to the determination of alternatives for sustainable construction around the world. To Build energy-saving and safe evaluation for engineering, structures have obtained worldwide attention. This new kind of building material is of much importance, which can integrate green energy saving with self- sensing properties of functional material. The objectives for this concrete are to cast a special type of concrete with light-transmitting properties and study their characteristics and to develop a functioning material which is not only energy saving but gives out artistic look. Its results show that smart transparent concrete has good transparency. In addition, the use of plastic optical fibre can lead to an increase in compressive strength of concrete
