Specifies the expansion joint vector in the DX, DY, and DZ boxes. Because the transverse stiffness is directly related to the bending stiffness for finite length expansion joints, type only one of these stiffnesses. CAESAR II calculates the other stiffness automatically based on flexible length, effective ID, and the other stiffness. In general, type the transverse stiffness and leave the bending stiffness blank.
