The pressure area used to set the pressure thrust force on an expansion joint is provided by the expansion joint manufacturer either as an effective area or effective inside diameter (ID). If the pressure thrust load is to be included in the analysis, the Effective ID must be provided in the expansion joint model definition. Any load case that includes a pressure term (for example, …+P1…) will include a thrust force on either end of the expansion joint based on this effective ID.
