ACI 526R-19 is a standard guide that provides comprehensive information on the design and construction of buildings using Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) panels. The guide is intended for professionals in the construction industry such as architects, engineers, contractors, building officials, and manufacturers. It aims to serve as a single source of information for designing, specifying, and constructing with AAC panels.

The guide begins by providing an introduction to AAC, including its properties and characteristics. It then delves into the manufacturing process of AAC panels, providing guidance on structural design using reinforced panels. This includes information on load capacities, design considerations, and construction techniques specific to AAC panels.

The guide also includes a detailed chapter on the material characteristics of AAC and the structural behavior and design of AAC elements. This chapter provides valuable background information and analysis to aid in the design and construction process.
