What are Multiple-Stiffened Elements?

An Element that is stiffened between webs, or between a web and a stiffened edge, by means of intermediate stiffeners that are parallel to the direction of stress. A sub-element is the portion between adjacent stiffeners or between web and intermediate stiffener or between edge and intermediate stiffener.
