Dear Sir,I am comparing the result from our previous project to the result given by SFA and unfortunately I got a different result in SFA.I want to ask on how SFA computed the Design Shear for Two-Way/One-Way Action.Thanks!
See examples 5.13, 5.14 and 5.15 in the verification manual if you have one of the recent versions of SFA.

Thank you for your reply. I managed to find the verification manual however when I try to follow the manual I am getting a different result.
Here is my manual calculation following the verification manual. The critical load case is 922.
What are the version numbers of the two versions of SFA for which you are comparing the results?
Can you attach the SFA file, and a PDF of calculation report of the previous version?
Thank you for your kind reply, I am only using version number v9.4.0.20. I am comparing the results given by staad foundation program with the manual calculation I did following the verification manual.Here is the SFA file and PDF of calculation result in staad foundation.Pile foundation verification.sfaPDF
Thanks for the model and the report. We are looking into this and will get back to you.
We agree that the two-way shear force that is reported is incorrect. We are correcting it and will be in touch with you soon.
Thank you for looking into it. I will wait for your next update regarding this. Thank you
