Shake-table testing of full-scale URM walls developing two-way out-of-plane bending mechanisms (EUC-OOP-2WB)

Description

This dataset contains acceleration and displacement recordings from incremental dynamic tests on full-scale unreinforced masonry (URM) walls. The walls were intentionally constructed with weakened mortar and were subjected to out-of-plane excitation to induce a two-way bending mechanism. These tests were conducted under boundary conditions that have not been explored in existing literature. Additionally, one of the wall specimens was simultaneously subjected to both vertical and horizontal excitation.

The shake-table tests were conducted in 2018 at the SHAKELAB and 6DLAB testing facilities of the EUCENTRE in Pavia, Italy. They were part of the EUCENTRE Foundation project 'Study of the vulnerability of masonry buildings in Groningen', within the research framework programme on hazard and risk of induced seismicity in the Groningen province, sponsored by the Nederlandse Aardolie Maatschappij BV (NAM). The project was carried out in collaboration with the research group of Masonry Structures from the University of Pavia in Italy.
