Abstract

Aims: Investigations were conducted on the development of gypsum plaster used naturally by adding 1% of admixture (Superplasticizer) and reinforcing it with Barchip fibers. Methodology: Different percentages of Barchip as 0, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25 and 1.5% were used. The compressive and flexural strength of such gypsum plaster are discussed Results: The results show that the use of 1% superplasticizer with 1% of Barchip fiber increased the compressive and flexural strength by about 44 and 62%, respectively. Conclusion: The use of superplasticizer with Barchip fibers would significantly enhance the mechanical properties of gypsum plaster.
