Abstract

the aim of this research work is to compare the strength of hot rolled A36 steel tubes being widely use in
designing and constructing of modern world space frames. In this study the model will be design by using STAAD Pro
structure designing software. After design that model same tubes will be wrapped using suitable FRP, then erect both
models with and without FRP rapping tubes. The objective of this research is to compare the tensile and compressive
strength of tubes. The scope of this paper is kept limited to the analysis of these tubes in a finite element software
ANSYS. It was found that the results of FEA were in close match to experimental results.
