INTRODUCTION This manual presents a set of simple building systems that have been analyzed using SAP2000 V12. The examples demonstrate some of the concrete design capabilities of the SAP2000 software. For purposes of verification, key results produced by programs are compared to independent published sources. The examples cover the design of different beam and column elements. For each example, this manual contains a short description of the problem; a list of significant programs options activated; and a comparison of key results with published design results. The input data file for each example is provided on the SAP2000 CDROM.

METHODOLOGY A comprehensive series of test problems, or examples, designed to test the various elements and design features of the program were created. The results produced by the program were compared to independent published sources. The comparison of the SAP2000 results with results obtained from independent sources is provided in tabular form as part of each example.
ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA The comparison of the SAP2000 validation and verification example results with independent results is typically characterized in one of the following three ways.
Exact: There is no difference between the SAP2000 results and the independent results within the larger of the accuracy of the typical SAP2000 output and the accuracy of the independent result.
Acceptable: For force, moment and displacement values, the difference between the SAP2000 results and the independent results does not exceed five percent (5%). For internal force and stress values, the difference between the SAP2000 results and the independent results does not exceed ten percent (10%).
Unacceptable: For force, moment and displacement values, the difference between the SAP2000 results and the independent results exceeds five percent (5%). For experimental values, the difference between the SAP2000 results and the independent results exceeds twenty five percent (25%).
The percentage difference between results is typically calculated using the following formula: S A P 2 0 0 0 R e s u lt lt
