Abstract
In this work, the creep of gypsum is reviewed with fundamentally new experimental design approaches and modern analytical methods. The surface reactions of calcium sulfate dihydrate crystals are related to the macroscopic behavior of polycrystalline gypsum. The acquired data supports a model for moisture-triggered, pressure solution creep as the fundamental mechanism for the deformation of gypsum under mechanic load in a moist atmosphere.
