The '''endurance time''' ('''ET''')<ref name="LoganAbbrev">{{Cite book |title=Logan's Medical and Scientific Abbreviations |vauthors=Logan CM, Rice MK |publisher=[[J. B. Lippincott & Co.|J. B. Lippincott]] |year=1987 |isbn=0-397-54589-4 |page=182 |type=Hardbound book}}</ref> '''method''' is a [[Structural dynamics|dynamic structural analysis]] procedure for seismic assessment of structures. In this procedure, an intensifying dynamic excitation is used as the [[Structural load|loading]] function.<ref name=w2/> Endurance time method is a time-history based dynamic analysis procedure. An estimate of the structural response at different equivalent [[Seismic hazard|seismic intensity]] levels is obtained in a single response history analysis.<ref name=j2/> This method has applications in [[Seismic analysis|seismic assessment]] of various structural types and in different areas of [[earthquake engineering]].<ref name=j39/><ref name=j42/><ref name=j43/>
