ABSTRACT
This project, Design and production of ceiling board using Plaster of Paris (POP) Gypsum materials. Gypsum is basically the raw material required in the manufacturing Plaster of Paris (POP) which posses an outstanding property and a good material for producing ceiling board.
The materials procured for the project are plaster of Paris, fiber, water and mould. The equipment used for the project are scrapper, measuring tape, mixing bowl, bucket. Firstly, water was poured into the container (mixing bowl) and plaster of Paris sprinkled, two minutes was waited for absorption and then the mortar was mixed with hand and shaked vigorously to obtain a fully homogeneous mixture and thereafter the mortar was sprayed on the mould and fiber was added which serves as reinforcement.
Water absorption test was carried out on the sample and the result indicated that plaster of Paris (POP) ceiling board has an average 8.4 percent water absorptivity compare to Asbestos with 0.5 percent. Therefore plaster of paris (POP) ceiling board absorb water readily in case there is water leakage of the roof. Flexural strength test was carried out and the result obtained showed that plaster of paris (POP) ceiling board has a mean flexural strength of 11.4 N/mm2 and Asbestos has an average flexural strength of about 1.00 N /mm2.
To this end, it is proved that plaster of paris (POP) ceiling board posses sufficient strength and it is durable for Civil Engineering works.

CHAPTER ONE - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]CHAPTER ONE1.0 INTRODUCTIONThis project deals with the design and production of ceiling board using POP gypsum materials. Plaster of Paris (POP) which is calcium sulphate with half molecule of water of crystallization (CaSO4.1/2H20) and hygroscopic characteristic obtained by duly calcined the material that is Gypsum (CaSO4.2H20). It possess an outstanding property of setting and subsequent hardening when mixed with water (Smith, 1896).Gypsum is basically the raw material require to ... Continue reading---
CHAPTER TWO - [ Total Page(s): 4 ]CHAPTER TWO2.0 LITERATURE REVIEW In 1888, Augustine Sackett used plaster of Paris sandwiched between several layer to produce what would eventually become Sackett board, the original gypsum board. The modern gypsum board known as “Sackett board†a composite material that was made of layer of thin plaster placed between four piles of wool felt paper. Sackett board was patented in 1894. In this regards Augustine Sackett is generally considered to be the grandfather of gyp ... Continue reading---

It is not generally considered as a structural element but a finished surface concealing the underside of the roof above. Due to the dominance of asbestos as ceiling material in building with its health hazard, effort was made to produce ceiling board from Gypsum materials. It was deduced from water absor ...
