Installation Methodology
The installation of autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) blocks involves the following steps:
- Preparation of the foundation: The foundation must be level and stable, and the walls must be straight and plumb. The AAC blocks must be supported by a solid concrete footing or a reinforced masonry bond beam.
- Cutting and shaping: AAC blocks may need to be cut to size to fit the specific dimensions of the wall. This can be done with a carbide saw equipped with a diamond blade.
- Laying the blocks: The AAC blocks are laid on top of a bed of mortar and are spaced apart to allow for the application of mortar to the vertical joints. The blocks are then tapped gently into place to ensure a tight fit using rubber mallet.
- Application of AAC Adhesives: The vertical joints between the AAC blocks are filled with a special AAC adhesive that is designed for use with AAC blocks. The adhesive material must be applied consistently and must be smoothed to ensure a neat and uniform finish using trowel with different dimension that fits with the size of the AAC blocks.
- Seismic Gaps: Put 15mm - 20mm seismic gap between the AAC blocks and beams and columns.
- Horizontal and Vertical Rebars for Dowel: The 8-inch with 100m diameter rebars are drilled in the beam and columns and embedded into the blocks.
Accessories: Rubber mallet, carbide saw, dowel bar(8inches, 10mm diameter), AAC Adhesives, cement, leveling bar, drill mixer, trowel
