Introduction Autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) is a versatile building material that is becoming increasingly popular due to its lightweight, strong, and durable properties. However, even though AAC is a relatively easy material to work with, there are still some common […]
Introduction Autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC), also known as cellular concrete, is a lightweight, precast, cellular concrete that is made from a mixture of cement, water, sand, lime, and aluminium powder. The aluminium powder reacts with the water to produce hydrogen
Introduction Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC), also called cellular concrete, is a light and porous type of concrete. It is made by mixing cement, water, sand, lime, and aluminum powder. When the aluminum powder reacts with water, it creates hydrogen gas,
Concrete, the ubiquitous construction material that forms the backbone of modern infrastructure, is undergoing a green revolution. As environmental concerns continue to mount and sustainable development becomes more imperative than ever, researchers and engineers are looking beyond traditional concrete formulations
Concrete blocks are a type of masonry unit made by pouring concrete into blocks of steel or plastic. The use of concrete blocks is increasing day by day. Let’s discuss the three different types of blocks: concrete, cinder block and
In general, plain concrete is quite strong in compression, however, it is very weak in tension. Plain concrete takes about only 10% tensile load. Therefore, it is mandatory to enforce some other material so that it can take the tensile
Structures are designed to withstand various types of loads. The various types of loads expected on a structure are as follows: Dead loads Live loads or imposed loads Wind loads Snow loads Earthquake loads. Dead Loads Dead loads are due
