This document presents eight examples of structural analysis verification using SAP2000 software. Each example provides the structural geometry, properties, and loading, followed by a comparison of the results from SAP2000 to independent hand calculations. These comparisons include joint restraints, axial forces, moments, shear forces, and other response quantities. The conclusions for each example state that the SAP2000 results match exactly with the independent calculations.
