What are stiffners ( Steel Structures) ?

What are stiffners( steel Structures) 

Stiffners are secondary plates or elements which are attached to beam Web or flange to help prevent OUT OF PLANE DEFORMATION( I.E LOCAL BUCKLING).

Stiffners also serve to connect secondary beams to the main beam.

We have two types of stiffners based on how they are attached to the web of the beam,  transverse and longitudinal stiffners.

Buying a Car V/s Hire a Cab

Buying a Car
 V/s 
Hire a Cab : 

A Superb Analysis

Any Car in India cost at least Rs. 6,00,000
Scrap value after six-year -  Rs. 1,00,000
The net amount goes in effective Life of six-year  Rs. 5,00,000

Nos of Days of six yr is 2200 Days

So Rs. 5,00,000/2200
= Rs. 230/Day* Hire a Cab*

Buying a Car :

A Superb Analysis

Any Car  in india Cost Atleast Rs 6,00,000
Scrap value after six year -  Rs. 1,00,000
Net amount goes in effective Life of six year  Rs. 5,00,000

Nos of Days of Six yr is 2200 days

So Rs. 5,00,000/2200
= Rs. 230/day

Yearly Insurance Rs 15000 = Rs. 41/Day

Daily Petrol minimum
= Rs. 100/Day

After Every 3 Years Tyre & Battery Change Charge Rs 25,000 i.e. = Rs. 23/Day

Yearly maintenance of Car Rs. 9000 i.e = Rs. 25/day

Plus interest loss on Car buying amount @8%on Rs. 6,00,000 = Rs 131/Day                                         
So after buying a New Car Daily Expenditure = Rs. 850/day.

⚖️

So friends until you pay Rs. 850 daily to hire a cab, you are effectively in gain traveling in Rental Car.

Why do we have to place footings at least "B" distance from each other?

Why do we have to place footings at least "B" distance from each other?

Let me rephrase, isolated footings designed independently have to be placed in such a way that an adequate gap is ensured. That adequate gap is "B", which is the larger size width of the two footings under consideration.

Following Boussinesq stress distribution under a point load one can see that the stress from one footing extends B/2 distance from the face of the footing. Meaning if two footings with B width are placed in such way that the clear distance from the two is less than B, then the stress at B/2 from the footings is the sum of stress from the two.

Can we place footings such that the clear spacing between the two is less than B? Or do we have to go for combined footings?

The answer to this question is
to verify that the summation of the stress from the two is less than the allowable bearing capacity of the soil. If indeed the summation of stress from the two is less than the allowable no need to go for combined footings.

.....if the summation of stress between the two footings is greater than the allowable, then combined footings become inevitable.

The structural or geotechnical engineers out there, do u check the stress overlap between your closely spaced footings or u just go " as far as it is isolated and isn't overlapping"?
