Description / Abstract:
This guide is limited to AAC with a density of 50
lb/ft3 (800 kg/m3) or less. It is written for
structural designers. It addresses design using factory-reinforced
AAC panels. Design of AAC masonry is addressed in other documents
(Masonry Standards Joint Committee 2005a,b).
Design documents produced by ACI technical committees are
classified as standards or nonstandards. The latter include guides,
which are intended to present directions for analysis, design,
construction, materials, or testing on a general basis. Their
language is nonmandatory, permitting the user latitude in judgment
concerning particular needs.
