Abstract

To investigate the seismic behavior of autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) roof panels, the bending experiment of 4 AAC slabs for estimating the deflection and moment capacity was made. All specimens were placed under a test frame using monotonically increasing load till failure. The experimental results indicated that the stiffness and load-carrying capacity of AAC panels can meet the requirements of the roof panel. Reinforced AAC roof panels, which serve as a substitute for normal one can be used efficiently to provide a structure’s horizontal diaphragm system while supporting the necessary gravity loads. The study in this paper can provide a reliable experimental basis for further analysis and engineering application of AAC roof panels in the future.
