Intermediate transverse web stiffener -
<<<ANSWER>>>Stiffness used to improve the buckling
strength of a slender web due to shear


Load bearing stiffness - <<<ANSWER>>>Stiffeners used to
prevent local buckling of the web due to concentrated loading


Bearing stiffeners - <<<ANSWER>>>Stiffeners used to prevent
local crushing of the web due to concentrated loading
