Its relatively low dry unit weight (usually in the 890 to 1300 kg/m3 (55 to 80 lb/ft3) range) assists in producing a relatively lightweight fill, and its pozzolanic or cementitious properties provide for lower cement requirements than would normally be required to achieve equivalent strengths.
[citation needed] During this steam pressure hardening process, when the temperature reaches 190 °C (374 °F) and the pressure reaches 800 to 1,200 kPa (8.0 to 12.0 bar; 120 to 170 psi), quartz sand reacts with calcium hydroxide to form calcium silicate hydrate, which gives AAC its high strength and other unique properties.

Strengths above 40 MPa (5,800 psi) are often used for specific building elements. For example, the lower floor columns of high-rise concrete buildings may use concrete of 80 MPa (11,600 psi) or more, to keep the size of the columns small. Bridges may use long beams of high-strength concrete to lower the number of spans required.
Introduced in 1872, 68-pounders adapted in this way had a calibre of 6.29 inches (16.0 cm) and were known as a RML 68-pounder, or officially as the RML 80-pounder 5 ton. [28] With a 10 lb (4.5 kg) powder charge they could fire an 80 lb (36 kg) projectile at a muzzle velocity of 1,240 feet per second (380 m/s). [29]
The ground pressure of motorized vehicles is often compared with the ground pressure of a human foot, which can be 60 – 80 kPa while walking or as much as 13 MPa for a person in spike heels. [3] Increasing the size of the contact area on the ground (the footprint) in relation to the weight decreases the unit ground pressure.
The PSI Comp 80 was a home computer sold by Powertran starting in 1979. It was sold in the form of a kit of parts for a cased single-board home computer system. The system was based on a Z80 microprocessor addressing a mixture of 8 KB of system RAM and EPROM , plus 2 KB of video RAM .
