Performance of Aerated Concrete Blocks Under Varying Temperatures

Abstract

Aerated concrete blocks (AC) are widely used as masonry in building construction because of their light weight and low density. Try to determine the strength, bonding, cracking and thermal behavior of aerated concrete blocks at different temperatures, mortar ratios and thickness. The results show that at temperatures above 100°C, the strength will decrease and cracks will appear, and the bonding behavior will vary with the thickness and proportion of the mortar. Compared with the solid concrete block model, Thermal Comfort Research shows better thermal comfort.
