Nonlinear Seismic Performance Evaluation of Flexural Slotted Connection Using Endurance Time Method by Seyed Mohamad Seyed Kolbadi, Hosein Piri, Ali Keyhani, S.Mahdi Seyed-Kolbadi, Masoud Mirtaheri

“…Among these methods, the third one is more accurate; however, it requires more time to align the accelerometers due to a large number of analyses. In the endurance time (ET) method, incremental acceleration functions gradually and uniformly increases over time while their linear and nonlinear response spectra are proportional to the mean of the real seismic spectrum. …”
