ABSTRACT
Due to its superior performance in terms of strength, durability, affordability, flexibility to mould into any shape and size, etc., and to fulfil the increasing needs in the building sectors, concrete is utilized fairly in various construction projects. Concrete that self-compacts (SCC) can be laid down and compacted by itself without vibration or segregation. SCC provides improved compaction and, by adequately covering reinforcement, lowers the cost of formwork and machinery. Additionally, it significantly reduces noise pollution. The most practical strategies for sustainable productivity and a healthier ecology are to limit the use of renewable resources and ensure proper removal of industrial wastes. Industries in India are releasing a lot of waste into the environment as they produce different products. It requires more land area for the safe disposal of these waste materials from the industries and the environment is being impacted at the same time. This type of waste materials from the industries can be effectively used for the making of concrete. This work proposed importance of clay roofing tiles and clay roofing tiles as a replacement of natural aggregates in the production of Eco-Friendly Self-Compacting Concrete. Recycled clay roof tiles are used in self-compacting concrete in an effort to produce environmentally friendly building materials that reuse waste from modern development. This high strength SCC is a booming technology in the building sector, particularly in precast construction. The experimental investigation was carried out to understand the fresh and hardened state properties of SCC prepared with different proportions of recycled clay roofing tile aggregates in coarse aggregate part with water cement ratios 0.475. The slump flow test was carried out to find the fresh state properties of SCC and tests were carried out to determine the compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength of concrete were also studied on the hardened concrete of 28 days.
