Abstract

The Accumulation of warm and moisture in building walls plays an vital role in its upkeep and power conservation. Aerated Concrete block, an environmental material gives an anticipated result to building construction. Aerated Concrete can build light weight, eco-friendly, non-structural wall, reduced dead weight concrete blocks. Aerated Concrete is developed introducing aluminium powder which reacts with the calcium hydroxide on hydration of cement. Several curing test methods are done to find out the optimum dosage of aluminium content. The Aerated concrete blocks are pre-casted by mixing Portland cement, fly ash, GGBS, quarry dust, lime stone powder, water and aluminium powder.

Highlights

  • Aerated concrete production involves the addition of a foaming agent like Al powder to a mix of cement, the combination of fine aggregates and water which reacts with the lime in cement manufactures a lightweight porous material

  • Several curing tests of Aerated Concrete were studied in this work

  • Jagadish vengala et al, (2019): terminated that the compressive strength of autoclaved aerated concrete blocks was drastically reduced after they are under an autoclave machine of bound pressure and temperature of 1500 degrees Celcius and suddenly they're cooled by immersing in water

Summary

Introduction

Aerated concrete production involves the addition of a foaming agent like Al powder to a mix of cement, the combination of fine aggregates and water which reacts with the lime in cement manufactures a lightweight porous material. Aerated Concrete is one of all the environmental products. Several curing tests of Aerated Concrete were studied in this work. Several instrumented experiments were performed to characterize aerated concrete blocks. These studies include the variant of compressive strength within a typical block. The material develops compressive strength and reduces its porosity during a shorter time compared with standard curing under ambient conditions. 1.2 Objective To study the steam curing method of the aerated concrete of optimum dosage of aluminium powder. To investigate the influence of the steam curing method on the compressive strength of aerated concrete.
