Experimental investigation into the effects of composition and microstructure on the tensile properties and failure characteristics of different gypsum rocks

Abstract The present work investigated the differences in the composition and internal microstructure of four types gypsum rock—fiber gypsum, transparent gypsum, alabaster, and ordinary gypsum by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope and Brazilian split tes...
