Structurally it is weaker than grout filled CMU or even CIP concrete. Also falls apart when there's water leakage or moisture infiltration. We had a building that was exposed to freeze thaw cycle and the AAC bricks were just really deteriorating from water exposure. Wood does something similar but much less pronounced.
