Effect of Reinforcement on Flexural Strength and Ductility of Gypsum-Based Composites with Recycled Wires from Automobile Tires

Abstract:

Gypsum, as well as cementitious materials, attains after hardening relatively high compressive strength, however its tensile (or flexural) strength is low. Therefore, it is often necessary to improve the tensile properties, such as strength and ductility, via suitable modifications or by adding reinforcement. Dispersed reinforcement appears to be quite suitable for most of the application, allowing to utilize waste products such as recycled wires from automobile tires or metal textiles etc. The presented study was focused on the influence of such reinforcement on the behavior of gypsum specimens, in particular on the flexural strength and ductility of the reinforced material.
