        abstract = {In un-plasticized poly vinyl chloride (UPVC) tubes filled with concrete are axially loaded until failure of the specimen to investigate their load carrying capacity. The systems are mainly assembled on site, hence simplifying the construction process and reducing the construction time as the removal procedure has been eliminated. The specimen of UPVC tubes of effective lengths of 500mm, 600mm & 700mm were cast. We take conventional column having 150mm diameter without UPVC column. The concrete mix design has been designed using IS code (10262-1982). M20 grade of concrete of two types of fine aggregate (River Sand & Manufactured Sand) was filled inside the tubes for casting of UPVC Concrete Filled Tubes (CFT) column specimen. The Conventional columns 150 mm without PVC confinement are failing by UPVC column should be tested in 14 and21 days curing. The columns specimens were tested for axial loading in the Universal Testing Machine (UTM) of capacity 400kN.Their load displacement curves and stress – strain curves were recorded.},
