Autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) refers to a lightweight, porous silicate concrete material where fly ash, a residual product of thermal power plants, is utilized in its production. The material consists of fine aggregates, cement, and an expansion ingredient that causes the freshly mixed material to rise, similar to the rising of bread dough. Autoclaved aerated concrete offers various benefits to the construction industry, including a unique combination of low weight, construction rigidity, cost-effectiveness, and durability.

The primary types of autoclaved aerated concrete include blocks, lintels, panels, and other variations. These types are formed using ingredients such as cement, fly ash, limestone, aluminum powder, and water. AAC blocks find widespread use in the development of residential properties, including apartments, as well as in industrial and commercial buildings such as hotels, offices, hospitals, and schools. Autoclaved aerated concrete has diverse applications, serving as a construction material, roof insulation, roof sub-bases, bridge sub-structures, concrete pipes, void filling, and more, catering to both residential and non-residential settings.
