Innovated Lightweight Roofing Tile

Jessica S. Alimario, Allan A. Domingo, Norman Bryle Mendoza and Patrick A. Tan, ?Innovated Lightweight Roofing Tile? Unpublished Project Study for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering, Manuel S. Enverga University Foundation, March 2012. The study is a qualitative and developmental research. It complies with the basic technical requirements of the materials testing and design. The researchers include disciplines and processes in designing a roof tile which is based on various codes and laws related to civil engineering such as the National Structural Code of the Philippines and the American Society for Testing and Materials is also applied. The supporting specifications attached are sufficient in the final implementation of the design. The specification gives the profile, composition, nominal size of the tile, pitch, and head lap, side lap, batten spacing and unit weight. Using simple costing method in estimating the quantity of materials and computing all the necessary materials and equipment used based on the current price and rate of labor and considering the activities to be done, the researchers arrived at an amount of Php 15.50 per piece as estimated cost.
