REtrofitting of STOne masonRy using INnovative Grid-based composites (ERIES-RESTORING)

This dataset contains displacement recordings from nine vertical and nine diagonal compression tests on masonry wallettes, and seven quasi-static cyclic shear-compression tests on full-scale masonry wall specimens. The experimental campaign addressed four configurations of undressed stone masonry: unreinforced (bare) condition, serving as a reference; CRM strengthening on one side of the wall; CRM strengthening on both sides; and FRM strengthening on both sides. For the quasi-static cyclic shear-compression tests campaign, the retrofit configurations were studied for two height/length aspect ratios of 1.5 (slender piers) and 0.69 (squat piers).

The quasi-static cyclic shear-compression testing campaign was conducted at the EUCENTRE Foundation laboratories in Pavia, Italy, while mechanical characterization tests, including vertical and diagonal compression tests on masonry, were carried out at the nearby Material and Structural Testing Laboratory of the Department of Civil Engineering and Architecture (DICAr) of the University of Pavia. This experimental program, named ERIES-RESTORING, was a multiteam work led by the University of Lisbon (Portugal) in collaboration with the University of Pavia (Italy), Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (Spain), EUCENTRE Foundation, and IUSS Pavia (Italy), and initial contributions from ETH Zurich (Switzerland).
