Autoclaved aerated concrete; great insulating values but can they be used structurally?
These structural walls of autoclaved aerated block construction support an open-web joist and tectum panel roof. The exceptional insulating value of AAC block is ten times that of conventional concrete. The walls shown are used for the Discovery House of the
San Antonio Zoo Early Childhood Development. Lightweight units make for quick installation and shaping performed with normal woodworking tools on site. L&E added minimal reinforcing for wind resistance.
