Standard Test Method for Diagonal Tension (Shear) in Masonry Assemblages

 
This test method covers determination of the diagonal tensile or shear strength of masonry assemblages by loading them in compression along one diagonal, thus causing a diagonal tension failure with the specimen splitting apart parallel to the direction of load.
WJE laboratories are accredited by ANAB (ISO/IEC 17025) to perform testing standard ASTM E519 for Standard Test Method for Diagonal Tension (Shear) in Masonry Assemblages. Contact us to learn more.
