The flip side of the coin is that the reduction of AAC density, which improves thermal properties and reduces structural masses (and consequently the self- weight and the seismic forces acting on the build- ing), exerts an unfavourable effect on material me- chanical strengths.	cache/app01-7993.pdf	txt/app01-7993.txt
