scope:

This report defines relevant AAC terminology and a brief history of AACs. The fundamental materials science and engineering of AAC technology is discussed, along with the definitions of important parameters required for proper mixture proportioning. This report summarizes the fresh- and hardened-state properties of AAC concrete, with a specific focus on reaction kinetics, mechanical properties, and durability. Finally, this report summarizes challenges and opportunities for the AAC field and presents an overview of full-scale industrial applications and safety considerations of AAC concrete.
