The testing on the physical mechanical properties and dynamic characteristics of wall materials for main types of the rural row-soil building in loess area of northwestern China is performed. The compressive strengths,rupture strengths, shear strengths, dynamic elastic modulus and damping ratios for the ramming soil wall and adobe wall,which made from loess and loessal lain,are obtained from the tests. The strengths and seismic resistance performance of different materials and different forming typies for row-soil wall are analyzed and comparied,too.
