Abstract:

Autoclaved Aerated Concrete is versatile lightweight concrete and they are generally used as blocks. The study of Autoclaved Aerated Concrete replacing natural sand by fly ash is investigated. Design AAC mix having mix proportion 1:3 with water cement ratio of 0.6. In these specimens using with lime and without lime, the sand is partially replaced by fly ash and cement is partially replaced by lime. The gypsum is constantly used in the specimens. The Aluminum powder is used at the range of 0.25gm, 0.5gm, 0.75gm and 1 of total weight of concrete. The properties of the mortar such as density, water absorption and compression strength for 24-hour steam curing were determined.
