I have a paper on modeling expansion joints which will answer the majority of your questions. Unfortunately, it's too large to attach here. So, you can send me a private message with your e-mail address or you can go to Pathway's Website ( http://www.sfpathway.com/ ) and go to resources / technical papers and down load it.

After you've reviewed this paper, if you still have questions, please let me know.

This is my e-mail id: rajivhce85@gmail.com

kindly send me the details for how to model double hinged expansion bellow in CAESAR II.
