Abstracts: Smart Light transmitting concrete is a concrete based building material with its transparent and smart sensing properties through embedding light optical elements such as Optical fibers. Due to "green" requirements and safe evaluation for engineering structures have obtained the worldwide attention, in this experiment development of Smart light transmitting concrete based on its excellent properties of transparent and smart sensing. By dealing with its usage and also the advantages it brings in the field of smart construction, we find that it can reduce the power consumption of illumination and use the optical fiber to sense the stress of structures and also use this concrete as an architectural purpose for good aesthetical view of the building. The work presented in this project reports an investigation on the behavior of concrete and mortar with optical fiber. A total of 45 concrete and mortar cube will be casted to study the effect of concrete and mortar with optical fiber and to compare the compressive strength between normal mix concrete to normal mix concrete with optical
