Abstract :

 Growth of any country remains in the utilization of industrial and agro waste for infrastructure of facilities. Developing country like India certainly needs utilization of industrial waste like paper sludge and also agro wastes like Bagasse, Coconut coir pith, Saw Dust in construction industry to produce various building materials. Also it is a duty of every Civil Engineer to engage himself in developing newer materials from the waste materials available on earth’s crust, because in every construction project 70%of cost goes for these materials. If this can be reduced, subsequently the cost of construction will certainly be reduced and as a consequence, many homeless people of our country will adequately be housed. Keeping this in mind, an attempt is made to utilize these waste materials obtained from local areas in the preparation of insulating roof tiles as horizontal roof surface of the building is receiving maximum thermal energy and generates uncomfortness for living, inspite of providing lime concrete weathering course. The addition of paper sludge has been varied from 0% to 150% by weight of cement and replacement of paper sludge varied from 0% to 100% and other materials like bagasse, coconut coir pith and saw dust addition varies from 0% to 20%. All required mechanical, physical, chemical and thermal insulation studies have been carried out systematically and the results are presented and discussed in detail to explore the possibility of using these materials in construction industry
