What are Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) Blocks?
3

• AAC contains Aluminium powder. Aluminium powder
  is used at a rate of 0.050.08 depending on
  volume and density.
• While mixing concrete material, water reacts with
  dry aluminium powder and produces hydrogen gas.
  This gas cause bubbles .
• They remain fixed in the place as the AAC dries,
  this results in the lightweight AAC blocks.
•  In some countries, like India and China, fly ash
  generated from coal fire plants having silica
  content is used as an aggregate.

Advantages of using AAC Blocks.

• 1. Fire Resistant
• Use of AAC blocks eliminates the cost of
  additional fireproofing material. It does not
  emit toxic gases when exposed to the fire.
• AAC withstand the fire and earthquakes and the
  chances of losses and damages are less when
  compared to other material used in construction.
•  
• 2. High Thermal Efficiency
• AAC is considered as sustainable construction
  material because of its excellent insulating
  quality.
• Solid wall construction of AAC structure creates
  airtight building envelope and maintains indoor
  temperature over 24 hours.
•  
• 3. Moisture and Mortar
• The drying Shrinkage i.e. Moisture movement of
  the mortar is avoided in the AAC masonry
  construction.
• AAC ensures even distribution of mortar and
  saves energy, water and labour.

• 4. Use of AAC blocks is very economic.
• The production cost of AAC blocks is less than
  other materials also the bigger size of AAC
  blocks saves time and labour.
• Due to the thermal efficiency of AAC blocks the
  cost of energy is low. Also maintenance cost is
  negligible and loss during the construction is
  less compared to normal red bricks.
•  
• 5. Eco friendly green material
• In the manufacturing clay bricks the quality soil
  is depleted and natural resources are eroded. It
  results in major soil erosion and ecological
  imbalance.
• But in the production of AAC block, AAC
  manufacturing plants uses fly ash which is waste
  material generated by thermal power stations.
• Use of industrial waste material in productive
  way is beneficial and on the other hand natural
  resources will be saved in every sense.
• AAC blocks or bricks are truly green material.

• 6. Improves Indoor Air Quality and reduces noise
  pollution.
• The additional quality of AAC is it can reduce
  and absorb noise and maintain indoor air quality.
• Millions of independent air cells in an AAC
  blocks reduces sound transmission. AAC blocks
  have excellent sound insulation and absorption
  qualities.
• 7. Structural strength
• The contraction capacity of AAC blocks is very
  good, they are lighter than normal bricks.
• It is easy and cheap to transport them. It
  reduces overall dead load on the building,
  therefore extremely useful for tall buildings.
