The DIN EN 1052-4 standard outlines a procedure for testing and determining the shear strength of masonry structures, specifically focusing on the horizontal bed joints. This method includes the incorporation of a damp proof course material, which is a sheet-like material used to prevent the penetration of moisture.
The test involves subjecting a specimen to double shear, where the load is applied perpendicular to the bed joints. This allows for the evaluation of the material's ability to withstand forces that try to slide or separate the components of the masonry structure. The shear strength measurement obtained from this test provides insights into the structural integrity and stability of the masonry.
