Repository Copy of: Effect of Amorphous Silica–Forming Additive on Porosity and Mechanical Strength in Autoclaved Aerated Concrete Thermal Insulation Board

Key Points

• This work examines how an amorphous silica-forming additive influences the porosity and mechanical strength of autoclaved aerated concrete thermal insulation boards.
• The study evaluates the impact of amorphous silica additives on concrete samples.
• Mechanical strength tests and porosity measurements are conducted on prepared samples.
• The addition of amorphous silica significantly reduces porosity and enhances the mechanical strength of the concrete.
• Specific quantitative results regarding strength levels and porosity percentages are documented in the original article.
