This article presents the results of an analytical and numerical study of the behaviour of circular hollow section (CHS) steel tubes strengthened by Glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP). Glass, aramid, carbon etc. fiber composites are considered for strengthening applications. In this work, glass fiber is used and it is the most popular reinforcing fiber and it is more economical to produce and widely available fiber. Performance of steel tubes is enhanced by providing strength them with glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) for investigating the effect of GFRP thickness, Specimen length, winding angle. FEA Analysis is performed on the steel specimen and model is simulated in ANSYS 16 software.
