ROOF TILES PREPARED BY USING FLY ASH AND ANALYZING MECHANICAL PROPERTIES

CO2 emissions from buildings and construction rose by nearly 1% per year between 2010 and 2016; releasing 76 Gt CO2 in cumulative emissions. India is amongst the major producer of Fly ash, 57% of total power obtained from combustion of pulverized coal. By the end of the year 2020, the production of fly ash is going to cross 350 million tones. In order to utilize this fly ash that is considered as a waste in the manufacturing of roof tiles replacing the traditional clay and feltspar. The roof tiles with 30 wt %fly ash were prepared and its mechanical properties were studied.
