Abstract


Gypsum is an important building materials, and because of the availability of its raw materials. In this research study the effect of using different waste materials on the properties of gypsum like rubber waste and glass waste. Gypsum is replaced by four different percentage of rubber waste& glass wastes are 10, 20, 30 and 40% by weight of gypsum. This research contains mechanical properties (compressive strength and flexural strength). The outcomes show the mechanical properties decrease rate when added two flavors together (waste tire rubber + waste glass).
