The paper describes the results of testing Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) walls on a natural scale. The walls were made of 18 cm wide blocks and thin layer joints. Walls were tested with filled and non-filled perpend (vertical) joints. The vertical load was applied by a reinforced concrete rim beam. The load-bearing capacity and deformability of walls was analysed.
Keywords: AAC masonry; compression tests; the effect of joint filling; tests on a natural scale.
