Original Abstract

In these days, autoclaved aerated concrete research points to the utilization of alternative raw materials such as metakaoline. An effort is made to improve the mechanical and related heat-insulation properties of the products without significant change of present technology and price. This work studies the effect of metakaoline, as an alternative raw material to Portland cement, on final properties of autoclaved aerated concrete, especially the effect on the volume weight and compressive strength. Quantitative and qualitative mineralogical composition, especially the presence and the amount of Tobermorite and Xonotlite were observed by XRD and TG-DTA-EGA methods.
