| A. | they reduce shear capacity of web |
| B. | they improve shear capacity of web |
| C. | they can be used to develop tension field action |
| D. | their main purpose is to provide stiffness to the web |
| Answer» A. they reduce shear capacity of web | |
| Explanation: intermediate stiffeners can be used to develop tension field action and improve shear capacity of web. the main purpose of these stiffeners is to provide stiffness to the web rather than to resist the applied loads. additional stiffeners called bearing stiffeners are provided at points of concentrated loads to protect the web from the direct compressive loads. | |
