Abstract – This is an experimental research in which
and agricultural wastes as partial replacement of river sand. The key aims of this research are to determine the durability of recycling plastic wastes and agricultural wastes for the manufacture of roof tiles, as well as to investigate the physical properties and strength of the roof tile. This will reduce the building costs.
ecological impact and economic impact of roofing tile production are analyzed. To achieve this, certain proportion of cement and river sand is replaced by plastic and agricultural wastes. Residential culture of living in huts and slums has become more and more tougher by the cause of time due to unprecedented changes in climate and population. While on other hand scientific and systematic discarding of agricultural residues and plastic is a matter of concern in most of the states in India. By considering both these problems to realization we were able to resolve these issues ideally by extensive production of agro-plastic roofing tile.
1.1 Objectives
Based on our cognitive study we have found that agricultural and plastic wastes can replace river sand and cement in significant proportion without compromising the flexural strength, water absorption and breaking load of roofing tile. By this sort of replacement roofing tiles can be provided at significantly affordable rates as manufacturing cost and selling price decreases drastically. Thus by utilization of agroplastic roofing tile improves economical and environmental well-being.
To promote the economic wellbeing to the present and future population.
3.
Effective waste management to achieve a healthy environment.
4.
Testing the roof tiles made for the substantial changes from the control samples available.
5.
To compare the obtained results with standards for low cost roofing tiles.
2.1 Cement
Large scale industrialization due to urbanization has caused a greater impact of the construction materials. This resulted the over consumption of natural resources which in turn depleted it as well. So the replacement of conventional materials using alternative waste materials that achieve sustainability in the environment should be promoted. Local materials like soil, stone, grass and palm leaves etc. are often used which require a lot of maintenance and are not always resistant to climatic condition like heavy rain or snow fall. The roof is the covering provided on top most part of the building that protects from various climatic variations. The right material must be used in order to obtain the proper covering using a roof. Thus the demand and high cost relation must be considered and the researches to use cheaper alternative sources should be aimed. The alternate materials should be carefully studied as cheaper houses become economically feasible and it can be environmentally friendly as low-value wastes can be recycled or exploited. Plastics are widely used materials for many purposes and in turn a huge amount of waste is obtained as a residue. Their waste can be used in the construction industry in many ways. This research aims to investigate the efficiency of using plastic wastes for the partial replacement of cement

1.
Cement is most important ingredient in concrete it forms the binding medium for the ingredient made up of naturally occurring raw materials. Cement is a binder, a substance that sets and hardens independently, and can bind other materials together.
2.2 Plastic powder There are several types of plastic. Powdered the plastic granules using mixer grinder and used it for the replacement of cement.
2.3 Rice Husk Ash Rice husk ash during milling of paddy which comes from the fields. It used as a fuel in the boilers for processing of paddy.
2.4 Corn Cob Powder The corn cobs are powdered into fine particles. It used for partial replacement for cements used to stabilize earth for roofing sheets.
