Beam Depth for given Column Load Formula

What are Bearing Stiffeners?

The Load-bearing web stiffeners or simply bearing stiffeners are vertically provided at points of application of concentrated loads and end reactions. The bearing stiffeners are provided to prevent the web from crushing and buckling sideways, under the action of concentrated load.

What is Web Crippling?

Web Crippling is similar to web buckling, but it happens in the web of the beam when it's subjected to compressive stress. The reaction at support developed due to high concentrated point load on the beam leads to the development of high compressive stresses in the thin web close to the upper flange or lower flange. As a result of this, the thin web may develop a fold at a place close to the flange and this is called web crippling.
