INTRODUCTION
This document provides example problems used to test various features and capabilities
of the SAP2000 program. The problems demonstrate the adequacy of the program for
use in all applications, including safety-related nuclear, as governed by 10CFR50
requirements as well as other international QA standards, such as ISO 9000
requirements.
SAP2000 is the latest release of the SAP series of computer programs. SAP is a finite
analysis program that was initially developed at the University of California-Berkeley
more than 25 years ago. Since development, SAP has been used widely for structural
analysis. The ongoing usage of the program coupled with continuing program upgrades
are strong indicators that most program bugs have been identified and corrected.
