The paper describes the results of testing autoclaved aerated concert (AAC) walls on a natural scale. Walls were made of 18‐cm‐wide blocks and thin‐layer joints. Walls were tested with filled and unfilled perpend (vertical) joints. The vertical load was applied by a reinforced concrete rim beam. The load‐bearing capacity and deformability of walls were analyzed.
