Please can someone help?
I have two members that are loaded similarly and one fails and the other does not, can someone tell me within the results attached why one is failing?
Many Thanks.

Please increase the precision of displaying the results. From the info you provided I assume it is sort of 0.999 < 1 for one of the bars and 1.001> 1 for the other.
If you find your post answered press the Accept as Solution button please. This will help other users to find solutions much faster. Thank you.

I have a question regarding a verification note.
Is it possible to have this: Tau,ty,Ed/(fy/(sqrt(3)*gM0)) = 1.41 > 1.00 (6.2.6)
All the efforts in the bar are very small.
