Answer
AAC blocks have limited load-bearing capacity compared to traditional bricks:
- Compressive Strength: Typically 3-4 N/mm² (lower than clay bricks)
- Best Use: Partition walls, infill walls in framed structures
- Load-Bearing: Possible for low-rise (G+1) with proper engineering
- Multi-Story: Not recommended for main structural walls
For load-bearing applications, consult a structural engineer. AAC blocks excel in non-structural applications.
