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. date: 2016 date_type: published publisher: Society for Earthquake Engineering (NZSEE) official_url: https://confer.co.nz/nzsee2016/ oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 2109109 lyricists_name: Cremen, Gemma lyricists_id: GJCRE16 actors_name: Cremen, Gemma actors_id: GJCRE16 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public pres_type: paper event_title: 2016 New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering (NZSEE) Annual Technical Conference event_location: Christchurch, New Zealand book_title: Proceedings - 2016 New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering (NZSEE) Annual Technical Conference citation: Baker, Jack; Cremen, Gemma; Giovinazzi, Sonia; Seville, Erica; (2016) Benchmarking FEMA P-58 performance predictions against observed earthquake data – A preliminary evaluation for the Canterbury earthquake sequence.
