Performance Study on Masonries of Different Aerated Concrete Blocks

Abstract:

The masonries with a square of 2m×3m of 3 different aerated concrete blocks were built respectively, and plastered with plastering mortar. The shrinkage-cracking property and other performances of different aerated concrete masonries were studied in natural condition. The results showed that, there were less cracks and smaller crack width in the masonry of aerated concrete with low water absorption, the condition of aerated concrete cracking can be improved by plastering with plastering mortar; the shrinkage of aerated concrete block masonry with low water absorption is smaller, the shrinkage of aerated concrete masonry plastered by special plastering mortar is smaller.
