Abstract

Gypsum and plaster construciton can be used in the diversification of building techniques in the emerging countries. The aim of this work is the technical study of raw gypsym material and modified plaster material and additives in view of their use in construction in southern Algeria. Thermophysical properties which strongly affect the living conditions are studied. The effect of the water-plaster ration, added sand ratio, and conditions of use (water content) on the thermophysical properties are presented.
