10.7-5 Use LRFD and design the bearing stiffeners for the girder of Problem 10.7-4. Use F, = 50 ksi. 10.7-4 A plate girder must be designed for the conditions shown in Figure P10.7-4. The given loads are factored, and the uniformly distributed load includes a conservative estimate of the girder weight. Lateral support is provided at the ends and at the load points. Use LRFD for the following: a. Select the flange and web dimensions so that intermediate stiffeners will be required. Use F, = 50 ksi and a total depth of 50 inches. Bearing stiffen- ers will be used at the ends and at the load points, but do not proportion them. b. Determine the locations of the intermediate stiffeners, but do not pro- portion them. 120 k 16'-0" * 16'-0" 48'-0" 120 k FIGURE P10.7-4 2 k/ft (includes girder wt.) 16'-0"
