Experimental Analysis of the Mechanical Performance of Aac Block

Abstract

Fly ash blocks made of autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) are lightweight and employed quickly in high-rise structures. One of the sustainable materials is the AAC Block, which is made from fly ash from industrial waste. AAC block masonry in fills contributes to a structure's low weight, thermal conductivity, and speed of construction. To increase the effectiveness of the AAC block masonry, material-level research is required. The literatures lack an awareness of the material level of behaviour of AAC block construction. This article describes an experimental investigation that was conducted to better understand the compressive stress-strain behaviour of AAC Block masonry and its constituent parts. Compression testing is a method used to assess the response of AAC block masonry to both strong and weak mortar.
