“…This method is commonly used in chemistry [6]- [7], electrical engineering [8]- [9], industrial processes [10], statistics [11], mathematics [12], or other disciplines [13]- [15] where the results can be obtained almost immediately. However, design of composite building materials, cement-and lime-based in particular, is characterized by the technological lags necessary for the development of their structure and properties, which makes this method very time demanding.…”

A method for lightweight-gypsum material design using waste stone dust as the foaming agent is described. The main objective is to reach several physical properties which are inversely related in a certain way. Therefore, a linear optimization method is applied to handle this task systematically. The optimization process is based on sequential measurement of physical properties. The results are subsequently point-awarded according to a complex point criterion and new composition is proposed. After 17 trials the final mixture is obtained, having the bulk density equal to (586 ± 19) kg/m 3 and compressive strength (1.10 ± 0.07) MPa. According to a detailed comparative analysis with reference gypsum, the newly developed material can be used as excellent thermally insulating interior plaster with the thermal conductivity of (0.082 ± 0.005) W/(m·K). In addition, its practical application can bring substantial economic and environmental benefits as the material contains 25 % of waste stone dust.
