Explanation
Bearing stiffeners are structural reinforcements placed at critical points to handle stress concentrations. They are commonly provided at (i) the supports and (iii) the points where concentrated loads act, to prevent local buckling and ensure load transfer. They are generally not installed at (ii) the mid-span unless specific conditions require it.
