Abstract

Gypsum plaster, like other inorganic cements, is strong in compression but weak in tension exhibiting brittle behaviour. Commercialy available E glass fibres can be used to reinforce the gypsum plaster matrix and produce a strong composite material having improved tensile and impact properties. This paper describes the effect of glass content on the flexural, tensile, compressive and impact strength of this glass fibre plaster composite which is made by a simple spray/suction technique.
