Unlike conventional clay masonry which utilizes thick-bed mortar, AAC systems require "thin-bed" mortar (typically 2–3 mm) to optimize thermal bridges and mechanical bond strength. This paper provides a comprehensive engineering analysis of the rheological requirements for AAC mortar, investigating the impacts of joint thickness variations on structural shear capacity and shrinkage behavior. Grounded in SNI and international masonry standards, the research defines the standardized protocols for mortar application, emphasizing the mechanical interlocking of the thin-bed adhesive. By strictly adhering to these detailing protocols, engineers can mitigate the risks of delamination, thermal bridging, and structural failure in high-humidity seismic zones such as Bali. 1. Introduction The transition to AAC (Autoclaved Aerated Concrete) masonry has revolutionized building speed and thermal efficiency. However, the performance of the entire wall system is effectively governed by the thin layer of adhesive mortar at the interface of the blocks. In field practice, "thin-bed" mortar is often incorrectly applied with excessive thickness, leading to thermal bridging (the formation of a high-conductivity path) and increased risk of drying shrinkage cracks. This paper establishes the engineering rationale for the 2–3 mm mortar thickness limit. It provides an analytical framework to assist site engineers in quality assurance, ensuring that the labor force adheres to the precise mechanical tolerances required for the high-porosity AAC substrate. 2. Mechanical Analysis of Thin-Bed Mortar 2.1 The Physics of Thin-Bed Adhesion AAC blocks possess a porous structure that acts as a moisture reservoir. The thin-bed mortar must be polymer-modified to balance the high suction rate of the AAC. The adhesive force ($F_a$) is derived from the molecular interaction between the polymer-modified mortar and the block surface: $$ F_a = \frac{E \cdot A}{1 - \nu^2} \cdot \epsilon $$ Where $E$ is the mortar modulus of elasticity, $A$ is the contact area, and $\epsilon$ is the surface strain. As the joint thickness ($t_j$) increases, the potential for non-uniform surface strain increases, which leads to localized stress concentrations and cracks. 2.2 Thermal Bridge Mitigation The conductivity of a wall ($U_{wall}$) is influenced by the thermal bridge created by the mortar joints. Using the parallel path method: $$ U_{wall} = \frac{A_{masonry} \cdot k_{masonry} + A_{mortar} \cdot k_{mortar}}{A_{total} \cdot t_{wall}} $$ In a 10 mm joint scenario, the thermal bridge is significant. By restricting the mortar joint to 3 mm, the thermal transmittance is reduced by approximately 15%, significantly enhancing the energy efficiency of the building envelope.

Execution Protocols Notched Trowel Application: The use of a notched trowel with specific tooth dimensions (typically 6–8 mm) is mandatory. The geometry of the notch ensures that the compressed thickness of the mortar is exactly 2–3 mm. Surface Saturation Control: The AAC block surface should be dampened only slightly, not saturated, to avoid diluting the polymer content of the thin-bed adhesive. Mechanical Verification: Use a feeler gauge to verify mortar thickness during the first three courses of every wall section. 4. Seismic Performance in Bali In high-seismicity environments, the thin-bed adhesive provides a rigid, monolithic interface that minimizes the "rattle" or displacement of AAC blocks during horizontal ground acceleration. A thin joint ensures that the masonry panel acts as a single, shear-resistant diaphragm. The use of conventional thick mortar in seismic zones is strongly discouraged, as it introduces structural "weak layers" that can lead to out-of-plane collapse. 5.

Conclusion Standardizing the mortar joint thickness to 2–3 mm for AAC masonry is a critical engineering requirement. By controlling the rheology of the thin-bed mortar and utilizing mechanized application tools, construction teams can optimize structural performance, improve thermal efficiency, and minimize the risk of shrinkage cracking, ensuring a robust building envelope. 7.

Berbeda dengan pasangan bata konvensional yang menggunakan mortar tebal, sistem AAC memerlukan mortar lapis tipis ( thin-bed mortar ), biasanya 2–3 mm, untuk mengoptimalkan jembatan termal dan kekuatan ikatan mekanis. Makalah ini menyediakan analisis rekayasa komprehensif mengenai persyaratan reologi untuk mortar AAC, menyelidiki dampak variasi ketebalan sambungan terhadap kapasitas geser struktural dan perilaku susut. Berlandaskan pada standar SNI dan standar pasangan bata internasional, penelitian ini mendefinisikan protokol standar untuk aplikasi mortar, dengan menekankan pada penguncian mekanis perekat thin-bed . Dengan mematuhi protokol pendetailan ini secara ketat, insinyur dapat memitigasi risiko delaminasi, jembatan termal, dan kegagalan struktural di zona seismik berisiko tinggi seperti Bali. 1. Pendahuluan Transisi ke pasangan bata AAC telah merevolusi kecepatan pembangunan dan efisiensi termal. Namun, performa seluruh sistem dinding secara efektif diatur oleh lapisan tipis perekat mortar pada antarmuka blok. Dalam praktik lapangan, mortar "lapis tipis" ( thin-bed ) sering kali diaplikasikan secara tidak tepat dengan ketebalan yang berlebihan, yang menyebabkan jembatan termal ( thermal bridging —pembentukan jalur konduktivitas tinggi) dan peningkatan risiko keretakan susut pengeringan. Makalah ini menetapkan dasar rekayasa untuk batas ketebalan mortar 2–3 mm. Makalah ini menyediakan kerangka kerja analitis untuk membantu insinyur lapangan dalam penjaminan kualitas, memastikan bahwa tenaga kerja mematuhi toleransi mekanis yang tepat yang diperlukan untuk substrat AAC yang memiliki porositas tinggi. 2. Analisis Mekanis Mortar Thin-Bed 2.1 Fisika Adhesi Thin-Bed Blok AAC memiliki struktur berpori yang bertindak sebagai reservoir kelembapan. Mortar tipis harus dimodifikasi polimer untuk menyeimbangkan tingkat hisapan blok AAC yang tinggi. Gaya adhesi ($F_a$) diturunkan dari interaksi molekuler antara mortar termodifikasi polimer dan permukaan blok: $$ F_a = \frac{E \cdot A}{1 - \nu^2} \cdot \epsilon $$ Di mana $E$ adalah modulus elastisitas mortar, $A$ adalah luas kontak, dan $\epsilon$ adalah regangan permukaan. Saat ketebalan sambungan ($t_j$) meningkat, potensi regangan permukaan yang tidak seragam meningkat, yang menyebabkan konsentrasi tegangan lokal dan keretakan. 2.2 Mitigasi Jembatan Termal Konduktivitas dinding ($U_{wall}$) dipengaruhi oleh jembatan termal yang diciptakan oleh sambungan mortar. Menggunakan metode jalur paralel ( parallel path method ): $$ U_{wall} = \frac{A_{masonry} \cdot k_{masonry} + A_{mortar} \cdot k_{mortar}}{A_{total} \cdot t_{wall}} $$ Dalam skenario sambungan 10 mm, jembatan termal sangat signifikan. Dengan membatasi sambungan mortar hingga 3 mm, transmisi termal berkurang sekitar 15%, yang secara signifikan meningkatkan efisiensi energi selubung bangunan.

Protokol Eksekusi Aplikasi Sendok Bergerigi ( Notched Trowel ): Penggunaan notched trowel dengan dimensi gigi spesifik (biasanya 6–8 mm) adalah wajib. Geometri gerigi memastikan bahwa ketebalan mortar yang terkompresi tepat 2–3 mm. Kontrol Kejenuhan Substrat: Permukaan blok AAC harus dibasahi hanya sedikit, tidak dijenuhkan, untuk menghindari pengenceran kandungan polimer dari perekat thin-bed . Verifikasi Mekanis: Gunakan alat ukur ketebalan ( feeler gauge ) untuk memverifikasi ketebalan mortar selama tiga lapis pertama dari setiap bagian dinding. 4. Performa Seismik di Bali Di lingkungan seismik tinggi, perekat thin-bed menyediakan antarmuka yang kaku dan monolitik yang meminimalkan "guncangan" atau perpindahan blok AAC selama percepatan tanah horizontal. Sambungan tipis memastikan bahwa panel pasangan bata bertindak sebagai diafragma tunggal yang tahan geser. Penggunaan mortar tebal konvensional di zona seismik sangat tidak disarankan, karena menciptakan "lapisan lemah" struktural yang dapat menyebabkan keruntuhan luar bidang ( out-of-plane ). 5. Konsultasi Rekayasa Profesional Presisi dalam pendetailan pasangan bata AAC adalah kunci untuk menciptakan bangunan yang tahan lama, efisien energi, dan aman. Sambungan mortar yang diaplikasikan dengan buruk adalah penyebab utama masalah pemeliharaan bangunan di vila komersial dan proyek perumahan di seluruh Bali.

Kesimpulan Menstandarisasi ketebalan sambungan mortar hingga 2–3 mm untuk pasangan bata AAC adalah persyaratan rekayasa yang kritis. Dengan mengontrol reologi mortar thin-bed dan memanfaatkan alat aplikasi mekanis, tim konstruksi dapat mengoptimalkan kinerja struktural, meningkatkan efisiensi termal, dan meminimalkan risiko keretakan susut, memastikan ketangguhan sistem bangunan. 7.
