Dataset from shake-table testing of four full-scale URM walls in a two-way bending configuration subjected to combined out-of-plane horizontal and vertical excitation

This data article provides experimental data obtained from the incremental dynamic shake-table testing of four single leaf unreinforced masonry (URM) walls constructed in Calcium Silicate (CS) bricks reported in “Two-way bending experimental response of URM walls subjected to combined horizontal and vertical seismic excitation” [1]. These walls were tested in the second phase of a larger experimental campaign addressing the out-of-plane (OOP) response of full-scale URM panels in two-way bending configurations at EUCENTRE, Pavia, Italy. Data corresponding to the first phase of testing for four single leaf and one cavity wall has already been made available through Tomassetti et al. [2] and the information necessary to interpret these results can be found in Graziotti et al. [3]. The walls of the tests reported in this data article were constructed in an intentionally weakened mortar but using the same Calcium Silicate (CS) bricks as Graziotti et al. [3]. The walls were also tested in boundary conditions that were not addressed in [3] and a specimen was also subjected to simultaneous horizontal OOP and vertical seismic excitation in one of the tests. Videos documenting the failure of specimens tested in both phases of the experimental campaign can be viewed online on YouTube [4].
