Introduction The region of Groningen, in the north of the Netherlands, historically not prone to tectonic earthquakes, has in recent years been subjected to seismic events induced by reservoir depletion due to gas extraction (e.g. NAM 2017; Bourne et al. 2015; Kruiver et al. 2017), for which reason an increased interest has been triggered by regulators and public/private authorities in experimental testing and analysis of existing structures. This is primarily due to the fact that the building stock in northern European regions characterised by little or no natural seismicity (from tectonic earthquakes) has not necessarily been designed to withstand earthquake-induced actions. Whilst more extensive and Abstract Wall-slab-wall structures, in precast configuration or not, feature no beams or columns but rather only slabs and walls and abound in many different European and non-European countries, regardless of the level and nature of seismic hazard to which the country is prone. In light of this, the results of an extensive experimental testing campaign involving dynamic shake-table and pseudo-static cyclic testing of full-scale precast and cast-in-place building prototypes, together with auxiliary connection/component and/or material characterisation testing, are described in this paper to provide an overview of both experimental methods applied as well as key behavioural aspects of such structures, typically built without any particular seismic design and/or detailing criteria. All test data are openly archived and available at the Experiments platform of the Built Environment Data initiative.
