        abstract = {The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in the United
States has produced the P-58 guidelines for seismic performance assessment of buildings.
This Performance-Based Seismic Assessment procedure aims to quantify earthquake
ground shaking, structural demands, component damage and resulting consequences in a
logical framework in order to facilitate risk assessment and decision making by a number
of stakeholders. The 2010-2011 Canterbury earthquake sequence, and the resulting
extensive data sets regarding damaged buildings that were collected, provide a unique
opportunity to exercise and evaluate the P-58 guidelines. This paper provides an overview
of the authors' methodology to perform such an evaluation, and presents preliminary
results from the calculations. Much work remains to critically evaluate these results and
to broaden the scope of buildings studied and of impacts predicted. This paper documents
some of the key approaches and data sources that will facilitate these next steps.},
