Abstract:
A building has been defined is an enclosed structure intended for human occupancy. Constructions work has been seen in most the countries developing. With the increases in material cost in the construction work, there is a need to find more cost saving alternatives so as to maintain the cost of construction houses, multistorey etc, which can be affordable to people. In the manufacturing of burnt clay bricks, smoke evolved at a great extent and also some toxic gases which can harm an environment. So as to overcome with all these problem, Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) blocks are used which is more economical and ecofriendly. This project includes the analysis, design and estimates of structure, comparing between autoclave aerated concrete and conventional brick in the form of steel consumptions. Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) is a lightweight concrete building material cut into masonry blocks or formed larger planks and panels. Currently it has not seen widespread use in the United States. However, in other parts of the world it has been used successfully as a building material. Cost of construction is reduced and it will be safe and economical in earthquake forces also. The seismic Parameter Lateral displacements are also compared.
