RESULTS FOR AUTOCLAVED CONCRETE


Autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC), a form of cellular concrete, is a low-density cementitious product of calcium silicate hydrates in which the low density is obtained by the formation of macroscopic air bubbles, mainly by chemical reactions within the mass during the liquid or plastic phase. The air bubbles are uniformly distributed and are retained in the matrix on setting, hardening, and subsequent curing with high-pressure steam in an autoclave to produce a homogeneous structure of macroscopic voids, or cells.
