In civil engineering Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC) is a new material. PVC materials have good mechanical properties as compared to other plastics and remarkable durability. Hollow columns are preferred to solid columns to reduce the cost of structures and decrease the self-weight. Concrete specimens after 28 days curing tested for compressive strength, flexural strength and split tensile strength. Based on that, reinforced concrete columns are being prepared. These reinforced hollow columns with and without PVC confined specimens are applied to concentric compression loading. Test results indicated that as ultimate load carrying capacity for PVC confined columns more than conventional columns. Load carrying capacity for is reinforced concrete hollow columns confined with PVC, increased by 48.41% as compared to reinforced concrete conventional hollow columns. Complete failure of Conventional columns at ultimate load and there are bulging of PVC for PVC confined columns with the failure of concrete core inside at ultimate load.

INTRODUCTION Columns are considered critical elements in structures. Reinforced concrete columns are the main load bearing elements of any structures. They support the beams and slabs and transfer the load to the foundations. Hence, they have design and detailed adequately to resist both ed gravity and lateral loads [1].
