Q$.28$Is there any difference between the strength prediction from these two

methods? Please choose an option on the basis of the results of your

calculation.

$($A$)$ Method $1$ and Method $2$ predicts different strengths

$($B$)$ Method $1$ and Method $2$ predicts similar strengths

$($C$)$ Method $1$ is better than Method $2$

$($D$)$ Method $2$ is better than Method $1$

An article in the Journal of Strain Analysis for Engineering Design compared

two methods for predicting the shear strength of steel plate girders. Data

for two of these methods, when applied to six specific girders, are shown in

Table Q$28.$
