Abstract

Gypsum composites
as decorative and construction elements have been widely used for many building
types due to their certain architectonic styles. Decorative gypsum composites
are not very durable and stable when compared to the other composites;
therefore, they need to be rehabilitated in short periods. To meet the
increasing demand in the sustainability of these types of composite, many
researches have been conducted for improving its properties with the minimum
cost.  The aim of this study was to obtain
the optimum cost of the colored gypsum composites with the improved mechanical
properties. Glass fiber reinforced, silica and expanded perlite reinforced
gypsum composites were colored with the addition of brown, yellow, black and
red pigments. The mechanical properties such as compressive strength and freeze
thaw (F-T) resistance of the mixes were also examined. A cost optimization
analyze were performed based on the experimental test results. Results revealed
that the usage and the cost of the color pigment added gypsum composites can be
primarily optimized.
