The document describes a software verification test of the SAP2000 program. The test involves analyzing a wide flange beam subjected to bending. The beam properties, loadings, and geometry are provided. The SAP2000 results for compactness check and bending capacity are compared to independent hand calculations, finding an exact match. The hand calculations show the step-by-step work for determining the beam is non-compact and has an allowable bending stress of 32.7 ksi.
