    The document compares the properties of autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) to cellular light-weight concrete and clay bricks. AAC has a lower density of 551-600 kg/m3 compared to 800-1000 kg/m3 for cellular light-weight concrete. It also has a higher minimum compressive strength of 3N/mm2. AAC has smaller and more distributed pores, is dimensionally accurate after autoclaving, and has lower drying shrinkage within industry standards. The document promotes the use of AAC blocks for construction, noting their lighter weight, insulation properties, dimensional accuracy, workability, quality, and environmental friendliness.
