Guys
I have been working on Expansion joints. The Vendor Pathway has Given Restraint friction for lateral tied joints/ Hinge Expansion Joints in terms of (say)73NM/Bar(coeff of friction 0.05). and the overall lateral stiffness is given in terms of 49.9N/mm & 1200NM/deg respectively. Can anyone tell me how to add effect of the restraint friction given by the vendor in the caesar file for the lateral EJ's and Hinge EJ's.
