TRUly reSilient Timber buildings – ERIES TRUST Project

The dataset comprises comprehensive experimental data obtained from a large-scale shake table testing campaign on a three-storey post-tensioned cross-laminated timber (CLT) rocking wall structure. The experimental programme was conducted within the Engineering Research Infrastructures for European Synergies (ERIES) framework, under the TRUly reSilient Timber buildings (TRUST) project, to investigate the seismic response of low-damage timber systems incorporating self-centring mechanisms, energy dissipation devices, and, in selected configurations, clutched inerter systems and rounded wall-to-foundation interfaces.

The dataset includes detailed information on specimen geometry, structural configuration, material properties, and construction details, accompanied by technical drawings and material certification reports. The experimental data consist of response-history measurements recorded during modal identification and seismic excitation tests performed under progressively increasing intensity levels. Measurements were obtained using a comprehensive instrumentation system, including accelerometers, displacement transducers, load cells, and strain gauges.

All experimental results are provided in TDM format, with two files per test: one containing synchronised acceleration, displacement, and force data, and the other comprising strain measurements. The dataset is organised by testing phase and configuration, enabling direct comparison of structural response under varying conditions. Additional documentation, including sensor layouts, test matrices, photographs, and video recordings, is also included.
