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.
