An experiment (Narayanan and Adorisio, 1983) to compare four methods for predicting the shear strength for steel plate girders. Data for nine girders in the form of the ratio of predicted to observed load for these procedures are given. Each of the four methods was used to predict the strength of each of the nine girders.

Usage
