As per IS code min compressive strength of building block should be 3.5N/mm2 , Compressive strength of HD AAC block has lesser than 5N/mm2, other bricks like burnt clay brick , cement solid bricks and all have better strength than AAC block ( more than 6.5N/mm2), due the 2 ft length of AAC block there is change of making cracks while loading.
Normally these bricks are made for reducing the weight of the structure in earthquake zone areas
AAC blocks are recommended for framed structures
