History or Chismis
The Inventor of LiTraCon?
Aron Losonczi
Alternatives for Optical Fibers
Basta yon tama yan!
T or F
LiTraCon is available across Asian countries and became popular and widely used in the Philippines.
Ligwak GANERN!
Main component for light transmitting ability
Optic Fibers
Translucent Concrete that do not use fiber optics
Italian Pavilion or Lightstone Pedestrian
Why LiTraCon is coined as tranluscent concrete
Due to its pellucidity
Speed of light inside a certain material
Refractive Index
Yey or Ney
One of the disadvantages of using LitraCon is that it is considered expensive. Does this mean that its maintenance requires high cost?

Orientation of the optical fibers when incorporated with the concrete
Parallel to Each other
TAMA O MALI
Optical Fibers should be placed parallel to each other in the mould and shouldn't be tightened at both ends
NUH UH!
Why is casting transparent concrete blocks more difficult than traditional concrete?
Optical fibers must be carefully aligned and evenly distributed.

COMPONENTS OF OPTICAL FIBER
Cable Jacket - Strength Member - Buffer Coating - Primary Coating - Cladding - Core
Why is the use of optical fibers in light-transmitting concrete both an advantage and a disadvantage?
Optical fibers enhance light transmission but make the material expensive.
