How is the stiffness of the expansion joint determined in CⅡ?
Thread Content
Dear expert, I would like to ask: when entering expansion joints in CⅡ, how is the stiffness determined? During the training I attended, the instructor said that this stiffness is determined during the analysis phase, and then this value is provided to the manufacturer. I want to ask how this stiffness is determined and calculated. It’s urgent; I’m waiting online! ! !
It’s generally best to set it according to the manufacturer’s product manual; that’s what should be done.
It is generally set by referring to the manufacturer’s product manual; once the manufacturer has completed the design of the expansion joint, the stiffness value will be provided, after which further calculations can be carried out.

Oh, okay, I see. Thank you for your help! ! !
Mm-hmm, I see that others have replied to me in the same way. Thank you so much to everyone for your help! ! !
The lateral and axial stiffness of the expansion joint is provided by the manufacturer to the design institute after it has been designed.
Yeah, I get it now. I wasn’t sure at first when I started doing this. Thank you!
