In the present paper, by using the density-matrix renormalization-group technique, we investigate the existence of dimerized phases in a frustrated spin-1/2 ladder model. By calculating the two-rung localizable entanglement and, in particular, its first-order derivative in the ground state, we show that an intermediate columnar dimerized phase exists indeed in a narrow parameter region between the rung-singlet and the Haldane phases. Furthermore, by introducing an additional interchain next-nearest-neighbor exchange interaction, the stability of this phase can be greatly enhanced and a staggering dimerized phase also appears in the phase diagram. Our results confirm the previous conclusions derived by the bosonization methods.
