- Abstract
A concrete roof tile is one of building materials which has been produced and used for roofing since 1976. In 2016 there was a big case happened on this material due to losing durability and becoming brittle after 8 months of instalation. The study was carried out to evaluate the properties of roof tiles which were installed on a roof in 2016 and produced after 2016. These properties were tested by EDX and SEM to obtain the concentration of each element and to determine the dynamic viscosity of each element. This study found that brittle concrete tile contained of Sr, Cl, S and Mn. However some of samples had no S and Mn. Element of Sr appeared on all fragile protected concrete roof tiles. It is supposed that the presence of Sr caused microcracks due to its strong reaction in humid condition. Therefore it needs to revise the regulation dangerous elements in roof tiles as mentioned SNI 0096-2007 which accord to the condition of humidity in Indonesia.
