Abstract

With the bending experiment of 9 JINYU reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete slabs the objective of the research was to characterize the flexural performance of cladding panel such as deflections and extent of cracking that the elements would undergo under uniform load and finally recommended a suggestion for further analysis. To know more about such non-conventional materials two-point loads were applied to all the specimens and were monotonically increased until failure analyzing how the span affected the flexural behavior. Besides a theoretical analysis was conducted to predict the strength of the AAC panel and the analysis result was in good agreement with the experimental value. Through the experimental analysis it can be seen that AAC panel has the potential to be an excellently energy-saving construction material and is believed to emerge as an alternative to traditional reinforced concrete slab in the near future.
