This paper present results from testing shape and dimensions of specimens on compressive strength of autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) concrete with nominal density classes 400, 500, 600, and 700. The tests were conducted on standard cube specimens 100 mm × 100 mm × 100 mm, cylindrical and rectangular specimens made of AAC blocks. DANTEC optical measurement system was used to analyze how specimen shape affected the mechanism of specimen destruction. Obtained results were analyzed and Neville's algorithm was adapted.
