In this study, an attempt has been taken to utilize the wastes produced from agriculture as a partial replacement in the manufacturing of useful construction materials. Effective and adequate recycling of agricultural wastes are a key factor in waste disposal in most of the world. Replacing the ordinary tiles and conventional poor class tiles with much efficient alternate and made of agricultural waste is being the most required. proper and efficient disposal of agricultural wastes is being the key factor in solid waste management in most of the Indian States. Having both the problems in a single line. In this project we have prepared and evaluated the performance of low-cost tiles using agricultural wastes as raw material. Based on the results, it is suggested that we can efficiently replace significant quantity of river sand in making agro waste tiles with the corn cob powder and rice husk powder in appropriate propositions which gave compressive strength as similar as before replacement. The experimental tiles were studied and their compressive strength, water absorption, drying shrinkage and bulk density were determined. Thus, preparation of such replaced tiles will significantly reflect economic benefits and healthy environment. Thus, preparation of such agro waste tiles will significantly reflect healthy environmental and economic benefits.
