Abstract

In this article, an attempt has been made to compare AAC blocks as a replacement material to red bricks. Different forms of experiments have been used to equate the properties of AAC blocks to those of other blocks. AAC blocks have a lower density than standard bricks for experimental verification, but they have a higher compressive strength than traditional bricks, which tends to reduce the structure's dead load. It has been found that the expense of construction is lowered by 15% to 20% when AAC blocks are used instead of other construction materials.
