What are the characteristics and innovations of translucent concrete?

Light guide concrete is a kind of functional decorative concrete, decoration is a technology that integrates science and art. Architecture, environment, and city beautification are inseparable from decoration. Cement concrete is produced with the birth of cement.

From the birth of cement to the present, the history of nearly two centuries tells people that cement concrete is one of the most durable man-made building materials. It can be predicted that only cement concrete can accompany mankind into one new century after another. Cement concrete is not only a versatile building structural material, but is also increasingly used by architectural artists, environmental artists, and sculptors for decoration and artistic creation.

At present, there are many varieties of cement concrete that are widely used, among which light-guiding concrete is a new member of the decorative concrete family.

Blaupunkt translucent concrete is composed of translucent material and concrete, and adopts two production processes: translucent material tiling method and prefabricated mold grouting method. The light-transmitting concrete light-transmitting materials developed by the company are evenly arranged, with good light-transmittance performance, and also have significant building energy-saving and decorative effects, which can be made into garden building products, decorative plates, decorative blocks, etc.; The new high-end product of translucent concrete has greatly improved flexural strength, compressive strength is not affected in any way, and its mechanical properties change also tend to zero, which can be used to make a variety of building materials. Even load-bearing structures can also be made of this light-transmitting concrete.

When translucent concrete is made in the form of prefabricated bricks or wall panels, the most striking effect of the resulting work is that the object closest to the translucent concrete can show shadows on the wall panel. But the amazing performance of translucent concrete can't help but make people wonder if it is like a porcelain doll, which can only be seen but not touched? The content of optical fibers in transparent concrete is 4, and the reason why concrete can transmit light is that the fibers between the two planes of concrete are placed in parallel in the form of a matrix.

This fiber does not have any negative impact on the strength of the concrete, and does not affect the inherent strength and weight resistance of the concrete itself. In other words, translucent concrete can also become a load-bearing structure, and it is not a problem to build houses and high-rise buildings with translucent concrete.

Translucent concrete is a combination of a large number of optical fibers and delicate concrete. This concrete is usually made in the form of prefabricated bricks or wall panels, and the closest object to this concrete can show shadows on the wall panels. The content of optical fibers in this concrete is 4, and the reason why concrete can transmit light is that the fibers between the two planes of concrete are placed in parallel in the form of a matrix.

In addition, this type of concrete can also be used for load-bearing structures, as this glass fiber does not have any negative effect on the strength of the concrete. This translucent concrete has different sizes and thermal insulation, and can be made into different textures and colors.

Translucent concrete is to bury optical fibers when pouring!

At present, the translucent concrete on the market is made by adding optical fiber to the concrete, which can only transmit light like frosted glass, and can form translucent concrete buildings with a special mechanism. However, the cost is high, and the conditions for large-scale use are not yet available. Beijing Yushuzhuang Component Factory was the first to successfully produce translucent concrete in 09.

You can call the manager of the factory: Zhao Yong.

With the resulting translucent panel, the user can clearly see the outline of the object on the other side of the concrete. On the basis of this clarity, translucent concrete still retains its strong, crack-resistant, load-bearing qualities, for a long time, monotonous, dull and depressing concrete, associated with prison-like office buildings, ugly terraces and unfinished basements, however, due to its translucency, translucent concrete has the ability to transform the interior of concrete buildings. Make them look fresh, open and spacious.

Translucent concrete in decoration.

Translucent concrete is an innovative combination of light and concrete, in the daytime natural light can penetrate the concrete, the interior or the feeling of decoration has been greatly changed, and at night, when the lights are turned on, the light will change the artistry of the whole decoration, so that this decoration can be different at night or during the day.

Illuminated concrete for decoration at night.

The light directly passes through the concrete and enters the field, making the whole wall look like a huge window, and the incoming natural light can also reduce the use of indoor lighting, thereby saving energy.

The introduction of this product was first seen in the German BFT magazine, and in 2007 in the German "bauma" exhibition was publicly copied, which was invented by a Hungarian architect to transmit light concrete (Litracon), but in China this project has been a blank, this product was successfully developed in Beijing Yugou ****, filling the gap in China.

This light-permeable concrete is made up of a combination of a large number of optical fibers and delicate concrete. It can be made in the form of prefabricated bricks or wall panels, and the closest object to this concrete can be shadowed on the wall panels. The shadows on the light side appear on the dark side with a sharp and subtle outline, and the color remains the same.

A concrete wall made of translucent concrete resembles a screen or a scanner. This special effect makes one feel that the thickness and weight of the concrete wall have disappeared. The reason why concrete can transmit light is that the fibers of the du between the two planes of the concrete are placed in parallel in the form of a matrix.

In addition, because the optical fiber occupies a small volume, the mechanical properties of concrete are basically not affected, and it can be used as building materials, so this kind of concrete can also be used in load-bearing structures. This kind of translucent concrete has different sizes and thermal insulation, and can be made into different textures and colors to achieve its artistic effect under the light. The transparent concrete can be made into garden building products, decorative plates, decorative blocks and curved waves, which provides the possibility of realizing the artistic imagination and creation of architects.

Phosphorescent concrete is also a good choice. In fact, there is no so-called new material, even if it is an old material like fair-faced concrete, it can be injected with new soul by many creative designers.

It is made by incorporating 4% optical fiber into purified cement. Because the optical fiber has good light transmittance, the cement brick made in this way can have a translucent effect.

This transparent cement was developed by the Italian cement manufacturer Italcementi Group. Although the details of the material have not been disclosed, it is known that it is made by solidifying inorganic materials such as transparent thermoplastic resin and alumina without using water. It is reported that the light transmittance of 5cm thick concrete prefabricated parts is up to 20.

In addition, the German Pavilion exhibited "translucent concrete" made by mixing optical fibers, but the Italcementi Group said that "transparent cement is superior in terms of cost and strength."
