Abstract
The paper reviews a experimental program that was undertaken to study the structural behavior of three most common types of steel reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) elements. A total of 43 full scale test specimens consisting of 12 floor panels, 24 lintels, and 6 vertical panels were made of AAC Grade G2 and supplied by manufacturers in the United States. Floor panels and lintels were tested in bending, and wall panels were tested under axial or eccentric compression loading. The ultimate load capacity, cracking behavior, deflection, and failure mode were observed and recorded for each test. The information gained provides insight and better understanding of the structural behavior of reinforced AAC elements. The data obtained can also be used to verify proposed analytical methods for the design of AAC.
