Autoclaved Aerated Concrete

Abstract: The most commonly used building material is Brick in the country. And, for many decades it has got the prime importance with some adverse effect on environment. The Carbon Dioxide which gets emitted from the manufacturing process of bricks affects the green environment. Hence, the present study focuses on the construction material known as Autoclaved Aerated Concrete which is eco-friendly i.e. harmless to the environment and which has many more advantages over conventional brick. And due to this, the manufacturing process of the Autoclaved Aerated Concrete Blocks is studied and it can be said that Autoclaved Aerated Concrete blocks can be used as a substitute to conventional brick which has many benefits over it like Thermal insulation, Sound Insulation, Adequate Strength and Stability, Durability, Fire Resistance etc.

Keywords: Autoclaved Aerated Concrete, Thermal Insulation, Sound Insulation, Durability.
