This paper investigates the thermophysical properties, mechanical load-bearing capacity, and structural integration protocols of AAC masonry. By evaluating AAC's low bulk density, enhanced thermal insulation, and rapid installation efficiency, we establish a framework for its optimal use in residential and commercial load-bearing infill walls. Analytical modeling confirms that AAC masonry reduces dead loads by approximately 60% compared to conventional bricks, significantly enhancing seismic structural safety factors. This research provides a technical blueprint for contractors to maximize material performance while adhering to standardized structural compliance.

PART I: ENGLISH VERSION (Scopus & Elsevier Standard Format) 1. Introduction Modern construction in high-density urban areas like Denpasar, Badung, and Gianyar necessitates materials that offer both seismic resistance and thermal comfort. Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC), a pre-cast structural material, has gained prominence due to its unique porous microstructure. Unlike traditional fired-clay bricks, AAC offers substantial reduction in dead load, a critical factor in mitigating inertial seismic forces. As discussed by Supriyanto (2024), the widespread adoption of AAC in Bali’s construction sector requires a rigorous understanding of its mechanical bonding behaviors, especially when interfaced with concrete frames. 2. Mechanical Performance and Thermal Modeling AAC performance is governed by its specific density ($\rho_{AAC}$) and its thermal conductivity ($\lambda$). 2.1 Mechanical Strength Formulation The compressive strength of AAC masonry assemblies is evaluated via: $$f_m = K \cdot (f_{aac})^\alpha \cdot (f_{mortar})^\beta$$ Where: $K, \alpha, \beta$ = Empirical constants for AAC-mortar bonding. 2.2 Load Bearing Capacity AAC wall load capacity ($P_{cap}$) under vertical stress is determined as: $$P_{cap} = \phi \cdot f_m \cdot A_{eff}$$ Where $A_{eff}$ is the effective cross-sectional area and $\phi$ is the capacity reduction factor. 3. Field Protocols and Optimization Field application of AAC requires thin-bed mortar (adhesive) for structural monolithic behavior.

Pendahuluan Bata ringan (AAC) telah mengubah wajah konstruksi di Bali. Material ini bukan sekadar bata, melainkan teknologi beton aerasi yang diproses dengan autoklaf. Penggunaan bata ringan pada proyek properti di Badung atau Denpasar terbukti meningkatkan efisiensi waktu kerja dan menekan beban bangunan. Supriyanto (2025) menegaskan bahwa kunci sukses penggunaan AAC adalah pada teknik aplikasi thin-bed mortar yang tepat untuk menjamin kekuatan dinding. 2. Keunggulan Teknis Berat Ringan: Mengurangi beban gempa signifikan pada struktur kolom dan balok. Insulasi Panas: Sangat cocok untuk vila di Bali agar ruangan tetap sejuk. Kecepatan Pengerjaan: Ukuran presisi mempercepat proses finishing . [Proses Kerja: Pemasangan Bata AAC -> Thin-Bed Mortar -> Cek Kelurusan -> Plaster Ringan] 3. Kesimpulan Bata ringan AAC adalah material masa depan konstruksi Bali yang efisien. Pemilihan material yang tepat akan meningkatkan nilai jual properti sekaligus menjaga keamanan struktur terhadap gempa.
