本指南供建筑师、工程师、承包商、建筑官员和制造商使用。其目的是在单一来源中提供信息，帮助这些个人设计、指定和使用蒸压加气混凝土（AAC）工厂加固面板进行施工。在本指南中，首先介绍AAC的介绍信息，然后介绍其制造、使用加强板的结构设计指南以及使用此类板的施工指南。本指南正文以关于AAC材料特性和AAC元件的结构行为和设计的广泛背景章节结尾。

This guide is intended for use by architects, engineers, contractors, building officials, and manufacturers. Its purpose is to present, in a single source, information that can help those individuals design, specify, and construct with factory-reinforced panels of autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC). In this guide, introductory information on AAC is first presented, followed by a description of its manufacture, guidance on structural design using reinforced panels, and guidance on construction with such panels. The body of this guide ends with an extensive background chapter on the material characteristics of AAC and the structural behavior and design of AAC elements.
