An 80-foot long plate girder (see below) is fabricated from a ½-inch x 78-inch web and two 3inch x 22-inch flanges. Continuous lateral support is provided. The steel is A992. The loading consists of a uniform service dead load of 1.0 kip/ft (including the self-weight), a uniform service live load of 2.0 kips/ft, and a concentrated service live load of 500 kips at midspan. Stiffeners are placed at each end and at 4 feet, 16 feet, and 28 feet from each end. Once stiffener is placed at midspan. Determine whether the flexural strength is adequate using LRFD.
