Non-Structural Safety: Why AAC Blocks are Safer in Earthquakes

In many earthquakes, the “skeleton” (pillars) of the building stays up, but the “skin” (brick walls) falls out, causing injuries. Traditional red bricks are heavy

In many earthquakes, the “skeleton” (pillars) of the building stays up, but the “skin” (brick walls) falls out, causing injuries. Traditional red bricks are heavy and have poor “lateral” (side-to-side) resistance.

The AAC Advantage

Lower Mass: Tiscobuild AAC Blocks are 1/3rd the weight of bricks. Because the building is lighter, the “seismic force” acting on it is greatly reduced. (Force = Mass x Acceleration).
Flexibility: When used with thin-bed adhesive, AAC walls have a slight degree of flexibility compared to the rigid, brittle nature of sand-cement mortar and red bricks.
Monolithic Bond: AAC blocks bond so well with the adhesive that the wall acts as a single, solid unit that is less likely to “topple” during a shake.

Conclusion

Lightweight construction is the global standard for seismic safety. Switch to Tiscobuild from De Son to make your home lighter and safer.
