Dataset from the dynamic shake-table experiments on a full-scale unreinforced clay-brick masonry building with chimneys

This data paper outlines detailed information on the ac-quisition and use of sensor measurements from shake-table experiments on a full-scale unreinforced masonry building. The tests were carried out at the shake-table facilities of the National Laboratory for Civil Engineering in Lisbon, Por-tugal. The building specimen, replicating a typical Dutch single-storey detached house, was made of solid clay bricks and featured a gambrel roof and two chimneys. It was densely instrumented with accelerometers, potentiometers, and LVDTs, recording the response of various structural and non-structural elements. A series of unidirectional dynamic tests of increasing shaking intensity was performed, provid-ing a unique dataset that captures at full scale the in-plane and out-of-plane behaviour of walls and the influence of flex-ible timber diaphragms on the dynamic global response of an entire building. The dataset is instrumental in improving the accuracy and reliability of simulations focused on the dy-namic response, progressive damage, and collapse of unre-inforced masonry buildings under seismic actions. The au-thors made this data available to support the development of analytical and numerical models, advancing research in earthquake engineering and performance-based seismic assessment of unreinforced brick-masonry buildings. The comprehensive dataset, including acceleration and displacement time series, is hosted on the Built Environment Test Data platform and is freely accessible without any restrictions through https://www.betestdata.eu/ , assisting researchers and engineers in effectively utilising the data for further studies.(c) 2023 Published by Elsevier Inc.
