Abstract:
Abstract: Autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) has many benefits for structures, such as heat insulation, sound insulation, fire resistance, reduced dead weight, and many more. AAC products include blocks, wall panels, floor and roof panels, and lintels. Besides its insulating capability, one of AAC's advantage in construction is its quick and easy installation since the material can be routed, sanded, and cut to size on-site using standard carbon steel band saws, hand saws, and drills. Although AAC has been produced for many years, there are still some points that need to be clarified. One of these points is the effect of humidity intrusion on AAC members in areas with high relative humidity levels, like Mediterranean climates. Therefore, various tests associated with the mechanical and physical properties of AAC concrete should be carried out, particularly Compressive Strength test in order to assess the strength of AAC blocks. The current project intends to analyse the physical and mechanical properties of autoclaved aerated concrete blocks at three different curing conditions using an accelerated curing tank to compare the effects of curing on the properties of AAC
