Low Density Aircrete (Density≤450kg/m3,
compressive strength≤3N/mm2) has been used extensively for the
construction of dwellings in many parts of Europe. In the UK, however, lack of
availability has restricted the use of Low Density Aircrete. Developments in
Eurocode 6 require adjustment to the UK design procedures, allowing greater
utilization of Low Density High Performance Aircrete. The material has
considerable advantages, which include its economical, mechanical and physical
properties. It is usually manufactured using pulverized fuel ash, which is an
industrial by-product. The potential for using Low Density Aircrete for the UK
and indeed global construction industry is therefore highly promising with
substantial economic and environmental benefits. Furthermore, calculations show
the thermal insulating (shielding for hot climates) properties of this
material.
