A STUDY OF AUTOCLAVED AERATED CONCRETE BLOCK AS A ALTERNETIVE BUILDING CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL

Economy of structure is one of the basic aspect upon which any design is based. Stability plays an important role but best designer is one who comes out with a design which gives the stable and economic structure. The development of construction technology is closely related to the development of adequate mechanization and handling technology. Autoclaved aerated concrete block is an important addition to the types of masonry units available to the builder and its use for masonry is a constantly increases. An investigation on construction of Autoclaved aerated concrete block masonry emphasizing in the present to study the crack patterns developed in the structural elements such as wall. Though the strength of wall constructed with Autoclaved aerated concrete block give the less strength as compared to brick masonry but cost of construction is very less. Pre cast Autoclaved Aerated Concrete is a Lightweight, Load-bearing, High-insulating, Durable building product, which is produced in a wide range of sizes and strengths. AAC Blocks is lightweight and compare to red bricks AAC Blocks are three times lighter.
