Research of Mechanical and Thermal Properties of Composite Material Based on Gypsum and Straw

This article is focused on the investigation of mechanical and thermal properties composite material that could be used for production plaster or plasterboards. made gypsum reinforcing natural fibers. The verifies whether this reinforcement can improve investigated compared to conventional plasters plasterboards pure gypsum. From material, high-strength then produced, which meet higher demands users than For their production, waste materials would efficiently. As part development new building materials, it necessary specify essential characteristics later use in civil engineering. Crushed wheat straw three classes with strengths G2 (2 MPa)—gypsum class I., G5 (5 II. G16 (16 III. were create test samples. Samples different ratios two ingredients, percentages being 0%, 2.5%, 5% each grade. first describes how increasing proportion affects composite’s (flexural strength compressive strength). second focuses change (thermal conductivity specific heat capacity). last mentions verification fire (single-flame source gross combustion) material. research has shown caused a deterioration flexural (up 56.49% 3. series II.) 80.27% III.) an improvement capacity 31.40% series). thus not suitable plasterboards, but its reduced do prevent interior plasters. Based performed tests, said classified as non-flammable reaction Classes A1 A2. ecological point view, advantageous content.
