C15.10 - Autoclaved Aerated Concrete Masonry Units

ABSTRACT
This specification addresses the dimensional tolerances, maximum limits for drying shrinkage, and shipping and handling requirements for solid unreinforced masonry units manufactured from autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC). The masonry units shall be composed entirely of AAC material and classified according to their strength class. The units shall conform to compressive strength, dry bulk density, and drying shrinkage requirements, which shall be determined in accordance with referenced ASTM documents.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers solid, unreinforced masonry units manufactured from autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC), a cementitious product. This specification addresses dimensional tolerances, maximum limits for drying shrinkage, and shipping and handling.  
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.  
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.  
1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
4.1 This practice applies to the materials and methods used in the construction of AAC masonry. It directly references the AAC materials standards under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee C27 and the workmanship requirements of TMS 602 and supplements those workmanship requirements with additional requirements particular to AAC masonry.
SCOPE
1.1 This practice applies to construction and testing of masonry made of AAC units. It includes or references terminology, material specifications, and methods of test. It references specifications and test methods.  
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
