N2  - Seismic instrumentation in a building is used to accurately capture its response during an
earthquake. This is helpful for building owners in their post-earthquake decision-making process
as, according to the Performance-based Earthquake Engineering Framework, the response data
measured should lead to enhanced predictions of the event?s consequences for the building.
This instrumentation can be costly however, so it is useful to know the extent to which varying
levels of its implementation within a building affect the accuracy of these predictions. The
purpose of this study is to develop a methodology for quantifying the errors in damage and loss
consequence predictions from the FEMA P-58 Seismic Performance Assessment procedure,
when different numbers of building instruments are used to capture the response of a building in
a given event. We use responses measured on an instrumented building during the 1994
Northridge earthquake, and obtain consequence predictions via Performance-based Earthquake
Engineering analyses using the FEMA P-58 methodology. The density of instrumentation
examined ranges from the case in which all floors are instrumented to that in which no
instrumentation is present and FEMA P-58 simplified procedures are used to predict response
and corresponding consequences.
