Energy-based seismic damage assessment dataset for masonry arches supported by stone pillars in earthen-roofed churches under pulse-like ground motions

This dataset presents numerical simulation data and finite element models developed for the energy-based seismic damage assessment of earthen-roofed masonry churches with masonry arches supported by slender stone pillars subjected to pulse-like near-fault ground motions. A three-dimensional finite element model of the Surp Sargis Church was developed using the Concrete Damage Plasticity (CDP) model implemented in Abaqus Version 14. Nonlinear time-history analyses were performed using selected velocity pulse-like ground motion records from the 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquake sequence (M7.7). The dataset includes Abaqus input files (.inp), displacement, stress, strain, energy, and damage-related response parameters, together with supplementary figures and tables used for visualization and interpretation of the structural behavior. The results indicate that short-duration velocity pulses significantly amplify nonlinear response, energy dissipation, drift demands, and tensile damage evolution in historic masonry structural systems.
