ACI 523.4R-09 PDF Download

The ACI 523.4R-09 standard is a comprehensive resource for professionals involved in the design and construction of buildings using factory-reinforced panels made of autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC). The guide is intended for architects, engineers, contractors, building officials, and manufacturers.

The purpose of this guide is to provide a single source of information that can assist individuals in designing, specifying, and constructing with AAC panels. It begins with an introduction to AAC, including information on its manufacture. The guide then proceeds to offer guidance on structural design using reinforced AAC panels and instructions for construction with these panels.

The guide concludes with a detailed background chapter that covers the material characteristics of AAC and explores the structural behavior and design of AAC elements.
