Cyclic Test Data for Six Unreinforced Masonry Walls with Different Boundary Conditions

Six unreinforced masonry wall tests subjected to quasi-static cyclic loading up to failure. The dataset links global to local deformations using a digital photogrammetric system tracking 312 points per test unit. The data was produced by Sarah Petry at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne.

Use Cases

• Modeling the cyclic response of masonry walls based on drift demands and boundary conditions described.
• Calibrating finite element models based on high-resolution local deformation data from photogrammetry.
• Advancing performance-based seismic assessment methods based on the link between global and local deformations.

Strengths

• High-resolution local deformation data from 312 tracked points per test unit.
• Tests cover variations in axial load and moment restraint at the top of the walls.
• Walls were tested up to failure, providing data on the full structural response.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
