In this study, the possibility of adding tire ash (TA) and silica fume cement (SFC) to construction tiles to increase their structural integrity, wear resistance, and durability is examined. Waste tires used to form tire ash provides good potential in terms of carbon content and reinforcement qualities with good additive. Synthesis of tiles with different compositions was done; SFC content at 85, 80 and 70%; TA at 0, 5 and 15% and tungsten carbide as a fixed amount of 15%. Mechanical and durability characteristics such as surface hardness and resistance to corrosion were checked. Findings showed significant improvement in performance as TA content increased with a 15% TA reinforcement showing the best performance. The hardness increased by 21.2 per cent relative to control specimens and the rate of corrosion decreased by 94.4% after 72 hours exposure. Recycling of tire ash also helps in managing waste sustainably because it will decrease the environmental effect of wasted tires besides enhancing the performance of structural elements. This emission of waste reduction and material improvement fits the idea of the green building and a circular economy, and therefore, tire ash uses in producing sustainable tiles in the context of civil engineering should be adopted.
