There is slight difference in the elastic shortening loss hand calculatio result. This is because program takes gross area of the concrete sectio elastic shortening losses unlike the elastic deformatiion loss. It shoul transformed area as shown in the hand calculations. If we take the gr below, we get exact program results. The matter is under discussion w now. However this causes only a small difference in the results.
