N2 - In order to utilize reclaimed gypsums (gypsum board waste) derived from waste plasterboards as geo-materials, thermal behaviors of the reclaimed gypsums and reagent gypsum are investigated in this paper. As a result, it was found that the dihydrate gypsum is changed into the hemihydrate gypsum under thermal condition of 90°C and the hemihydrate gypsum is changed into anhydrite under that of 120°C with heating of 24 hours. The followings are clarified in this paper: (1) The cement density measuring method was available in order to measure the density of reclaimed gypsums; (2) that density was dependent on the drying conditions of the reclaimed gypsums; and (3) the density measuring method was appropriate to estimate the gypsum hemihydrate content on reclaimed gypsums.
