Aerated Cellular Concrete (ACC)
Nowadays there is an increased demand for cement and sand in the field of construction. This project aims at reducing the consumption of cement and sand in the concrete without altering its strength. The usage of aluminium powder which highly reduces the dead weight of the concrete thereby increases the compressive strength. Aerated concrete has been widely used only as partition walls in our country. It can be used as a structural member. This project focuses on the usage of Aerated cellular concrete as a structural member. The compressive strength of the brick is more or less similar to the compressive strength of the aerated concrete. Hence, it can be used to reduce the dead weight of the structure.
