      <abstract xml:lang="en" contentType="abstract">This dataset includes the results of laboratory impact tests conducted on natural-scale double-wythe unreinforced brick masonry walls. The walls were spanning vertically between two reinforced concrete slabs and were subjected to low-velocity drop-weight pendulum tests in which they were repeatedly hit until the opening of a breach in the center of the wall. The tests were instrumented with both hard-wired and optical measurements, the latter consisting of high-speed cameras and digital image correlation techniques. Investigated in these tests were the out-of-plane response of the walls and their capacity to resist the impacts. The axial load applied on the top of the walls was varied for two wall configurations and monitored throughout the tests to study the effect of arching on the failure mechanism produced and number of repeated hits needed to open the breach. Of interest was also the evidence of cracking, more specifically the way it initiated on the undamaged walls and next propagated upon consecutive hits. 

The data generated from the tests is made here available and documented to support further investigations on masonry structures subjected to extreme actions. The dataset includes four ZIP files, ordered from 01 to 05, along with an auxiliary PDF document describing the content and organization of the data. 

Test implementation and test results that are built upon this data are presented and discussed in the following research article:
