Basics
- Concrete (Typically with fine or no aggregate) that has either had gas injected, or has been mixed with a Blowing Agent
- Low Density, Insulative, And High Wokability, Comes at the Cost of Durability However
- Thus Has Low Density and High Workability (Some can even be cut with hand tools)
- Some Special Formulations Autoclaved Aerated Concrete Can Be Put in Forms And Autoclaved for High Strength
