“…Gypsum is a low-cost material and found its application in building industries as decoration, thermal barrier, fire resistance, etc. [1]. The major problems with gypsum-based wallboards are their high density, brittleness, lower strength, modulus, and energy absorption capacity (toughness) under compression and flexural loading [2].…”

Fiber reinforcement is one of the ways for the improvement of the mechanical properties of composite materials. Previously, it was seen that the fiber content in composites played a vital role in the mechanical properties of fiber-reinforced composites. Considering the benefits of natural fiber, in this work, jute fiber reinforced perlite/gypsum composites were manufactured with five different fiber contents ranging from 2.41 % to 4.82 %. The ratios of gypsum to perlite and gypsum to water were kept constant, and only fiber content was varied. The compression and flexural tests were conducted to investigate the effect of jute fiber content on the mechanical properties of jute fiber-reinforced perlite/gypsum composites. Results showed that both the compressive and flexural properties were improved up to certain jute fiber content. The compressive strength, modulus, and energy absorption of the jute fiber-reinforced composite were found to be the maximum at 3.01 % fiber content. The compressive strength of the composite with 3.01 % jute fiber content was 35.23 % higher than the composite with 2.41 % fiber content. The flexural strength, modulus, and energy absorption were maximum at 3.61 % jute fiber content. This study demonstrated that the addition of jute fiber to perlite/gypsum composites results in improved mechanical properties up to a certain percentage of jute fiber, beyond which the properties deteriorate.

The utilization of gypsum reinforced composites as building materials has garnered considerable attention owing to their exceptional amalgamation of mechanical strength, fire resistance, and versatile applications. This review initiates by introducing gypsum as a pivotal mineral in construction, subsequently exploring the concept of composite materials and elucidating the synergistic effects achieved through reinforcement. Various reinforcement types, such as fibers, polymers, and particles, are meticulously evaluated for their contributions in augmenting mechanical properties, acoustic and thermal insulation, as well as fire resistance in gypsum composites. The review extensively discusses the mechanical attributes of gypsum composites, focusing on compressive strength and flexural behavior enhancements attained through strategic reinforcement methods. Looking ahead, the review emphasizes ongoing research endeavors dedicated to refining material formulations, exploring cutting-edge technologies, and uncovering innovative applications. By addressing challenges and capitalizing on advantages, these composites stand poised to revolutionize conventional building practices, bolster sustainability, and enhance safety and efficiency in built environments.
