DEVELOPMENT OF GROGGED CERAMIC CLAY ROOFING TILES FOR POULTRY HOUSING AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO ZINC SHEET
ABSTRACT Secondary clay obtained from Bomo, Zaria, Kaduna state was used for this research. Dry samples were fired to produce grog which was crushed and sieved to mesh 20 (840microns). Body composition was formulated with 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25% additions of grog to the clay body with the different samples sintered to three varying temperature ranges of 900oC, 1000oC and 1150oC. Samples fired to the highest temperature sintered ...
