A $30$ ft simply supported W$24\backslash$times $76$ beam has panel bracing in three equal panels over its length. The beam supports a uniformly distributed dead load of $1\mathrm{.}2$ kips$/$ft and a uniformly distributed live load of $2\mathrm{.}0$ kips$/$ft$.$ Determine the required shear strength of the bracing system and the required panel brace stiffness by $($a$)$ LRFD$.$ Draw the moment diagram for the beam. In addition to calculating the LRFD requirements,

select a wide$-$flange section for the bracing system that satisfies the shear and stiffness. The braces will be

$10$ ft long. Provide a sketch for how you would connect the bracing system to the simply supported beam.
