Claim 0:
1. A method for forming an autoclave aerated concrete panel comprising:
providing a mold for forming aerated concrete panels;
inserting mesh material into the mold, the mesh material comprising:
a first plurality of rebar elements extending parallel to one another in a first direction;
a second plurality of rebar elements extending parallel to one another in a second direction and intersecting with the first plurality of rebar elements to define a plurality of windows;
a plate positioned within a window of the plurality of windows such that it is directly connected to at least one rebar element of the first plurality of rebar elements and at least one rebar element of the second plurality of rebar elements; and
hardware attached to the plate for connecting to other structures;

adding a volume of ingredients to the mold;
adding an expansion agent to the volume of ingredients in the mold to generate a gas and expand the volume of ingredients to form a solid block;
removing the solid block from the mold; and
placing the solid block in an autoclave at an elevated temperature and an elevated pressure for an effective period of time to form the autoclave aerated concrete panel.
