4. Conclusions
The following conclusions are drawn based on the test results of this research:
x The trial production of SMC roof tiles as shown in Figure 1 has been successful. The 2.6 kgs SMC sheet is
pressed in the 500T SMC hydraulic press for 3 minutes.
x Mechanical properties of the SMC roof tiles material, i.e. tensile strength hand modulus of elasticity, are 30 ± 3
MPa and 10 ± 1 GPa, respectively.
x SMC roof tiles, i.e. on the stress concentration area, will be cracked when attached to 94 kgs static load that is
transmitted on a 100 mm diameter. On the other hand, the SMC roof tiles structures are safe to carry a man load.
