ASTM E519
Full Name
ASTM E519 – Standard Test Method for Diagonal Tension (Shear) in Masonry Assemblages
Scope
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.
Keywords
