The article is devoted to the analysis of methods for obtaining light-transmitting concrete, a material that combines the strength of concrete with the ability to transmit light.It briefly reviews the history of the development of light-transmitting concrete, from the initial experiments to the modern achievements in this field. The main focus is on the composition of the material, where optical fibers are added to the traditional components, creating a transparency effect and allowing the use of concrete in the implementation of new architectural solutions. The production of light-transmitting concrete requires a special approach, including the precise distribution of fibers and their fixation in the matrix, which ensures uniform light distribution. Various methods of embedding fibers into concrete, their advantages and complexities, as well as potential directions for the development of technologies and the use of the material in construction, are discussed.
