The seismic response of an instrumented tilt-up wall building is initially investigated under the action of four earthquake ground motions recorded at the site. The strongest base acceleration was 0.18 g recorded during the 1992 Big Bear, California, earthquake. Data from nine sensors were used to evaluate the building behavior and the accuracy of numerical calculations obtained from a three-dimensional building model.
