Saydam Betonların Özellikleri Üzerine Bir İnceleme

Öz

Saydam beton, kompozit içerisine gömülü ışık geçiren elemanlar nedeniyle optik özelliklere sahip çimento esaslı bir yapı malzemesidir. Bu çalışmada, saydam betonun tasarımı, mekanik özelikleri, içeriğindeki optik fiberlerin ışığı geçirme özellikleri ve kullanım alanları tartışılmıştır. Literatür taraması olarak gerçekleştirilen bu çalışmada, saydam betonun ışığı emme, iletme, iletimdeki mekanizma ve kayıplar üzerindeki araştırmalar üzerinde durulup, gösterdiği dayanım, kullanılan malzemeler ve oranları hakkında bilgi verilmiştir. Sonuçta, saydam betonların yapılarda kullanımıyla, ışık kaynağı olarak güneşten yararlanmak suretiyle yapılardaki aydınlatma güç tüketimini azaltacağı elde edilmiştir. Ayrıca yapıya mimari açıdan da estetik katacağı görülmüştür.

An Investigation on Properties of Transparent Concretes

Öz

Transparent concrete is a cement-based building material which has optical properties due to the embedded light transmitting elements within the composite. In this study, the design of transparent concrete, its mechanical properties, light transmission properties of optical fibers and the use of optic fibers were discussed. The study was performed as a literature review, and it was focused on the light absorption of translucent concrete, transmission, the mechanism and losses in the transmission. Information was given about their strength, materials and proportions. As a result, it was determined that the lighting power consumption will be reduced by utilizing the sun as the light source in buildings by the use of transparent concrete. Moreover, it is seen that it provides architecturally aesthetic structures.
