Masonry wall integral horizontal shear test method

The invention provides a masonry wall integral horizontal shear test method, and belongs to the technical field of building construction. and the method comprises the following steps: (1) building a wall body and maintaining; (2) calculating a vertical load borne by the top of the wall body; (3) applying a vertical load to the top of the wall body; (4) calculating the area S of a horizontal projection plane of the wall body; (5) setting a horizontal counter-force device on one side of the wall body, and applying horizontal force which is gradually increased step by step to the other side of the wall body until the wall body is subjected to a shear failure; (6) obtaining a numerical value of a previous-stage horizontal force when the wall body is subjected to the shear failure, and determining the numerical value as a horizontal shear destructive force; and (7) dividing the area of the horizontal projection plane by the horizontal shear destructive force to obtain the shear strength ofthe wall body.
