A bstractWe study F-theory compactifications with U(1)×U(1) gauge symmetry on elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau manifolds with a rank two Mordell-Weil group. We find that the natural presentation of an elliptic curve $ \mathcal{E} $ with two rational points and a zero point is the generic Calabi-Yau onefold in dP2. We determine the birational map to its Tate and Weier- strass form and the coordinates of the two rational points in Weierstrass form. We discuss its resolved elliptic fibrations over a general base B and classify them in the case of B = $ \mathbb{P} $2. A thorough analysis of the generic codimension two singularities of these elliptic Calabi-Yau manifolds is presented. This determines the general U(1)×U(1)-charges of matter in corresponding F-theory compactifications. The matter multiplicities for the fibration over $ \mathbb{P} $2 are determined explicitly and shown to be consistent with anomaly cancellation. Explicit toric examples are constructed, both with U(1)×U(1) and SU(5)×U(1)×U(1) gauge symmetry. As a by-product, we prove the birational equivalence of the two elliptic fibrations with elliptic fibers in the two blow-ups Bl(1,0,0)$ \mathbb{P} $2(1, 2, 3) and Bl(0,1,0)$ \mathbb{P} $2(1, 1, 2) employing birational maps and extremal transitions.
