Sumario:The dataset provided in this paper includes the lateral vibration data obtained by on-site vibration tests on an 18-story timber-concrete hybrid building, which was completed in 2017 and is located within the University of British Columbia campus in Vancouver, Canada. Aiming at evaluating vibration properties such as natural periods, damping ratios, and mode shapes, microtremor measurement (i.e., ambient vibration test) and human-powered excitation tests were conducted from March 27(th) to 29(th), 2023. Lateral velocity data of the building were collected using eight servo velocity sensors, type VSE-15D, and a data acquisition system, type SPC-52, composed of an A/D converter and a DC amplifier. The voltage data picked up by the sensors was first converted to digital data and then transferred to the hard disk drive in a laptop through Ethernet. In the microtremor measurements, the lateral vibration in the longitudinal and the transverse directions of the test building were measured with three types of locations of the sensors in order to evaluate the vibration behavior along the height of the building and its torsional behavior. The human-powered excitation tests were carried out by pushing walls by eight persons in accordance with the fundamental frequency in the transverse direction, aiming at obtaining larger amplitude than with microtremor. The dataset is useful to deepen the understanding of the dynamic properties of tall timber-concrete hybrid buildings and encourage reasonable structural design and health monitoring of tall mass timber buildings.
