The adjoining figure shows a schematic representation of a steel plate girder to be used as a simply supported beam with a concentrated load. For stiffeners, $$PQ$$ (running along the beam axis) and $$RS$$ (running between the top and bottom flanges) which of the following pairs of statements will be TRUE? GATE CE 2011 Steel Structures - Plate Girder Question 2 English
A
$$(i)$$$$\,\,\,\,$$ $$RS$$ should be provided under the concentrated load only
$$(ii)$$$$\,\,\,\,$$ $$PQ$$ should be placed in the tension side of the flange.
B
$$(i)$$$$\,\,\,\,$$ $$RS$$ helps to prevent local buckling of the web.
$$(ii)$$$$\,\,\,\,$$ $$PQ$$ should be placed in the compression side of the flange.
C
$$(i)$$$$\,\,\,\,$$ $$RS$$ should be provided at supports
$$(ii)$$$$\,\,\,\,$$ $$PQ$$ should be placed along the neutral axis
D
$$(i)$$$$\,\,\,\,$$ $$RS$$ should be provided away from points of action of concentrated loads.
$$(ii)$$$$\,\,\,\,$$ $$PQ$$ should be provided on the compression side of the flange.
