Light transmitting concrete made by plastic bottle filled with chlorinated water and clear casting resin is concretebased building material which can transmit light through concrete. Waste plastic bottle is coated with Clear casting resin onto the surface facing sun and bottle is filled with chlorinated water are utilized to prepare light transmitting concrete thatworks very effectively as energy saving construction material in interiors of concrete structures by utilizing sunlight forillumination and also reduces the total dead load of concrete structures on the foundation in very less cost using naturalresources. To reduce the quantity and volume of cement, sand and aggregate in regular concrete M20 mix, with that in themind experiments were conducted. This research included the manufacturing of concrete mix which is 1cement: 1.5 sand: 3Aggregate aided with plastic bottle filled with chlorinated water and clear casting resin and light transmitting concrete cubesare casted. After manufacturing of cube the various test is carried out to determine the compressive strength , transmissibilityof light and flexural strength test in accordance with IS-456, IS-3370. The light transmitting concrete blocks are of volume150mm×150mm×150mm.
