Highlights The paper presents the feasibility to use different agro-industrial wastes to develop AAC. Studies on the effect of fiber reinforcement on the physio-mechanical properties of AAC have been discussed. Ca/Si ratio affects the tobermorite formation and the mineralogy of AAC. Influence of porosity on the microstructure of AAC has been investigated. Ongoing R&D work at the author’s institute has been described.
