Abstract1: Reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC) panels are widely used in mainland Europe but in the UK some serviceability problems have been encountered with pre-1980 panels. This paper describes the concerns about performance of RAAC panels designed before 1980, laboratory testing of panels after 20 years service, and newly fabricated panels, mechanisms that may influence the in-service behaviour, new design guidance in prEN 12602, and testing RAAC panels fabricated to the new design guidance.
