Autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) blocks are diffusely used worldwide as a construction material both for infill panels and load-bearing walls, due to their superior properties of fireside resistance and thermal insulation. the appliance and use of such technology in seismic prone areas, however, still requires further verification of the expected structural performance. The very low weight of this material and its high deform ability (low value of Young modulus in compression) tends to scale back inertia forces on the building induced by the seismic motion. On the opposite hand the masonry compressive strength of AAC, although its variability is extremely limited, is quite low compared to other traditional masonry types
