Gypsum, due to its unique property and pleasing appearance has made it the material of choice in the construction industry. Gypsum products hold a pre-dominant position in the construction space due to their excellent insulation property both thermal and acoustic and effective fire protection. When used precisely with the innovative materials gypsum can develop the ability against moisture penetration and stability towards impact. Several research works have been done on the mechanical property and durability of gypsum under various circumstances. This paper gives an outline of the process of hydration, dehydration and setting of gypsum of the various admixtures on gypsum. This paper is also concerned with the effect of different types of fibres on gypsum products. Moreover, this paper tries to glean out the previous experimental and analytical studies on gypsum that will serve as a tool for future research works. Efforts have been made to summarize all the information available on the topics related to gypsum and suggestions for future work are also presented.
