Abstract
In this study, the changes in thermal conductivity value, compression and flexural strength of autoclaved aerated concrete were investigated experimentally by adding polypropylene, carbon, basalt and glass fibers into the G3/05 and G4/06 class autoclaved aerated concrete used as wall elements in buildings and the commercial production of which is made. Fibers were substituted with the aggregate in autoclaved aerated concrete in equal amounts volumetrically. The produced samples were subjected to autoclaved cure as in non-fibrous autoclaved aerated concrete. As a result of the experimental study; it has been seen the thermal conductivity of fiber substituted autoclaved aerated concrete changes linearly with thermal conductivity of the substituted fibers and basalt fiber reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete gives the highest thermal conductivity. But, it has been seen that the best compression and flexural strength was given by the carbon fiber reinforced samples.
