Abstract: Researchers have focused on the concept of sustainable development looking forward to innovate something using energy conservation. Light transmitting concrete (LTC) or ‘LiTraCon’ is an example of such phenomenal innovation. This review evaluates the principles involved in this, manufacturing process, pros and cons and applications of LitraCon. It has been described how the Litracon developed from 90's and further. Embedding optical fibres in the concrete reduces electricity demands. Hence, it can be used as an eco -friendly alternative to traditional concrete in the near future. The applications of LiTraCon, illustrates its positive impact worldwide. LiTraCon can become an affordable alternative for both commercial and residential projects.
Keywords: Light Transmitting concrete, optical fibre, energy saving, sustainable development, green technology.
