Among them are those who care about all their fresh and hardened properties and try to make SCC cleaner and more sustainable by replacing fine aggregates with industrial by-products, as in these studies, and other directions also to develop it by incorporating fibers, whether steel fibers as in study or polymeric fibers as a study. Okamura and then continued research to develop SCC, some of which mainly consider the fresh properties rather than the strength requirements as a study. The first concept of SCC was introduced in 1986 by prof. TSCC was prepared by SCC and plastic optical fibers (POF) to allow inward natural light transmission. Translucent self-compacting concrete (TSCC) is an innovative energy-saving construction material. Besides, it is preferable to use this concrete as self-compacting concrete (SCC) because mechanical vibration can disrupt the balance and locations of optical fibers in the translucent concrete. The second approach is the approach adopted in this study, but the concrete used is concrete and not mortar, that is, coarse aggregate has not been excluded from the components, as always happens.
there is no coarse aggregate, so most of those who produced it used the mortar. The two methods have involved that the concrete is fine, i.e.
The second approach is to produce fine concrete that mixes with light-transmitting components, usually optical fibers. The production of translucent concrete relied on two basic approaches the first approach is to replace the traditional components of ordinary concrete with translucent or transparent components, especially replacing the aggregates and adding binders that can transmit light as resins to the concrete mixture. Translucent concrete has become a global product with many patents registered and manufactured by many companies all over the world. Many attempts conducted to produce this concrete in its new appearance. The term ''Translucent Concrete'' means that it is a semi-transparent material, that transmitting light into spaces as well as the shadows of images, so this term is more general, comprehensive, and away from just attracting attention. The physical term for its description is ''Light Transmitting Concrete'' which has been called in some of the researches, and stated that it is the most appropriate term. The media term to attract the world's attention is ''Transparent Concrete'', where this term has been repeated in researches to give a formal description of this concrete with an abbreviated name. Translucent concrete, transmitting light into spaces, can be called with transparent concrete as well as light-transmitting concrete. The concrete itself is not translucent and does not differ from traditional concrete, but what makes it translucent is the optical fibers inside it that can transmit light frequencies.
The term "translucent concrete" misleads us a lot. Translucent concrete is one of the sustainable materials for its contribution to energy saving, aesthetic appearance, and eco-friendliness. It means that they are activities undertaken to solve a particular problem without having unfavorable consequences in the future. It often covers its meaning with different interpretations and tends to be treated superficially. Nowadays, sustainability is a word that is the world's widespread but tight understood. In this research, TSCC performs up to 21.35% and 24.7% of natural and artificial light transmittance near-cube face, respectively, which is enough lighting for commercial and residential buildings. The experimental study showed that although the compressive strength increased with increasing POF volume ratios and diameters, the light transmittance significantly increased in a direct quadratic relationship with increasing POF volume ratios. TSCC was also compared with that of translucent self-compacting mortar (TSCM) and it was found that the artificial light transmittance performance of TSCC was somewhat similar to that of TSCM. The artificial light transmittance performance was analyzed at voltage variation, light source variation, using a group of light-dependent resistors (LDRs) instead of single LDR and varying the distances from light source to specimen. The natural light transmittance performance investigated at natural light conditions from 7 a.m. This research investigates the compressive strength as well as the natural and artificial light transmittance performance of TSCC containing different POF volume ratios and diameters. TSCC was prepared by Portland cement, limestone powder, silica fume, coarse aggregate, fine aggregate, water, superplasticizer, and plastic optical fibers (POF) to allow inward sunlight transmission.
