The invention provides a shear type expansion bolt suitable for a hollow brick or a porous light brick wall, aiming to provide a safe, firm and fixed shear type expansion bolt. The shear type expansion bolt comprises a fixed member with an expansion member, and a pushing member, wherein the pushing member is matched with the fixed member and can coaxially advance along an axis of the fixed member; and the expansion member is hinged with the top end of the fixed member, the lower end of the expansion member is provided with a slope facing the pushing member, and the top end of the pushing member is in contact with a slope at the lower end part of the expansion member and pushes the expansion member through the slope at the lower end of the expansion member, so that the expansion member is spread open outwards. The shear type expansion bolt is simple and skillful in structure, easy for processing, low in processing cost, and convenient and reliable to use, not only can be used on a porous building brick wall body firmly and reliably but also can be widely applied to anchoring of various compact and honeycomb-shaped basal bodies, such as solid brick walls, soil walls, concrete structures, wood structures, plastic structures and compact soil.
