The uniform size and space with even finished exposure to the atmosphere, the compressive strength of the brick increase 25% after one year, the intensity remaines stable after 10 years, most of the strength of aerated concrete block increase a little after natural carbonation, which shows aerated concrete block and cellular lightweight blocks posses’ good durability and gains strength with age.
Generally overall strength of each light weight block is generally equivalent to 10 pieces of clay bricks, so the utilization of high strength masonry strength utilization factor is 0.7 to 0.8, while Clay’s strength utilization factor is only 0.2 ~ 0.3. The general compressive strength of a block is 2.0 to 7.0 Nmm2.
