How to Create Aerated Concrete Blocks?

• During mid-1920s, AAC blocks got invented by a
  popular Swedish architect. These blocks are now
  considered as one of the best inventions that
  have uplifted the standard of construction and
  architecture fields to greater heights. Great
  safety and functional value can be added to
  constructed structures with the usage of AAC
  blocks.

How AAC blocks are created?

• Though AAC blocks have been created
  from commonest building-materials but still they
  are so very different from others. Have you ever
  tried to know why? The reason is that only
  selective materials have been used and that too
  at correct proportions. This is why AAC blocks
  have got immense power to develop green
  buildings. Some popular materials that have been
  combined together for developing these blocks are
  water, cement, sand and lime.
• These materials need to be mixed
  perfectly and after the completion of the mixing
  procedure the mixture should be kept for heating.
  Appropriate pressure should be exerted for
  creating unique properties of aerated concrete
  blocks. These blocks can be quickly created and
  thus you can get adequate supply of the same for
  meeting up the requirements of the construction
  projects without any inconsistency.
• Different acoustic and
  thermal-insulation properties also get developed
  with these blocks and thus they are treated as
  the best option for maintaining privacy along
  with acute protection. If you are thinking for an
  instant renovation, then you can opt for these
  blocks for sure. The structure base will get
  enough of strength and this is why the structures
  will stand erect without getting affected by any
  natural hassles especially earthquakes.
• Rising agents can be definitely added
  within the mixture for enhancing the block
  firmness. If you want to add more strength, then
  before the moulds get tightened you should put
  stainless-steel structures. The moulds will be
  created along with the steel structures within
  them. The steel structures will never get damaged
  as no moisture will get absorbed by these blocks
  and on the other hand the blocks will also remain
  unaffected under extreme heat. In this way,
  reinforced panels can be developed that can
  create powerful buildings.

• A perfect reinforcing-cage can be
  developed that rises up from the foams. AAC
  blocks can be efficiently integrated without any
  external efforts and the most impressive thing is
  that this integration continues for a long time.
  Rising process mainly leads to the formation of
  the concrete cage. Integrated blocks are placed
  over autoclave and this can accelerate curing
  procedure.
• You can get the detailed procedure of
  AAC formation from the manufacturing site itself.
  Cement heaviness as a result of which AAC blocks
  are quite lighter and manageable. Warm properties
  help in the reduction of cement weight. Another
  great combination that can be successfully used
  in this regard isa mixture from gypsum, cement,
  quicklime, water and sand.
• The main reason for maintaining porous
  properties of AAC blocks is extensive chemical
  reaction from aluminium paste. This reaction can
  make the blocks lighter than any other
  construction blocks. Other lightweight materials
  are not that very stable but they are lighter.
  But AAC blocks have got both the qualities of
  lightness and stability. Though these blocks are
  solid in nature but they feel completely soft.
• AAC blocks should be kept within
  autoclave chamber for at least hours otherwise
  the perfect structure will not form.190 degrees
  are enough for forming AAC blocks and the
  pressure should be in between 8-12 bars. In this
  case, calcium-hydroxide reacts with quartz-sand
  for creating calcium-silicate hydrate. This is
  how AAC blocks can gain more strength. These
  masonry units are really amazing and can benefit
  the construction process a lot.
• Low-density is highly responsible for
  maintaining low-compression structural strength.
  These blocks are speedily replacing Regular
  concretes and this is the reason innovative
  features are getting added. Construction time can
  be saved as a result of which the projects can be
  completed with ease. These projects will give
  birth to improved eco-friendly buildings.
