Structural analysis ensures the safety and efficiency of reinforced concrete structures, but different computational methods can generate variations in the results. This study compares the SAP2000 and Eberick software in beam analysis, evaluating its accuracy and reliability based on an architectural design and the ABNT NBR 6118:2023 and NBR 15575:2021 standards. Both met the criteria of the service limit state (ELS), while in the ultimate limit state (ELU), the differences in efforts were minimal. The Eberick proved to be more practical for structural design, while the SAP2000 showed greater precision. The study highlights the importance of technical knowledge and regulatory compliance in interpreting the results. Future research should explore different structural configurations in addition to alternative materials.
