Abstract
Due to web opening, stiffness and strength of steel composite beam decrease significantly. The common reinforcing method is setting stiffeners around the opening section; the paper presents two methods: herringbone stiffener and diamond stiffener. The finite element model is established with both material and geometrical non-linearity. Compared with other common methods, these two new methods are effective. Some reasonable suggestions are proposed for engineering application.
