Answer»

The CORRECT choice is (d) it MAY be used for webs with intermediate stiffeners

Explanation: The tension field method, based on the post-shear buckling strength, may be used for webs with intermediate transverse stiffeners at SUPPORTS, provided the panels ADJACENT to the panel angle tension field action or the END posts provide anchorage for the tension field and is c/d>1.0.
