In this present study we have studied about the strength enhancement of autoclaved aerated block by using natural pozzolanas. Fly ash has been partially replaced with GGBS. GGBS has been used in place of fly ash at percentages of 6%, 12%, and 18% of the total amount of fly ash plus super plasticizer. GGBS improves resistance to damage from alkali silica reaction. It also reduces the thermal cracking. The role of super plasticizer is to reduce the water content in block.we have used 1% of super plastizer to the 1 litre of water. Each block's compressive strength is measured and computed for varying fly ash and GGBS ratios. It has been observed that replacing GGBS with 12% yields higher compressive strength than replacing it with 6% or 18%.
Key words: Sustainable / GGBS / super plasticizers / aluminum powder.
