Database of 123 shear and compression tests on stone masonry walls reported in the literature. Test references, geometrical and typological data, loading and boundary conditions, mechanical characterisation data, and synthetic test results are collected. Such test results include failure mode, force and displacement capacities for different limit states and estimates of the elastic and effective stiffness. Hysteretic force-displacement curves, digitalised from the sources, and the derived envelopes are provided, when available, as .csv files.
