 INTRODUCTION

 In cold regions, the construction of concrete structure is difficult.

 The mixing, pouring and curing of concrete in cold areas is very difficult because the
temperature is below 0oC.
 The people from North Pole developed the idea of using ice as their building material.
 The freezing and refreezing, made the igloos harden.
 Various studies were conducted for the behavior of ice as a substitute material for
concrete.
 Below the freezing point, ice is strong in compression and weak in tension like concrete.

subjected to the axial compressive load
The IFT columns exhibited higher strength and better ductility than those
of the summation of hollow steel tubes and plain ice columns
The initial stiffness and ultimate bearing capacity of the IFT stub columns
increased with the decrease of B/t ratio (varying from 39.5 to 77).

 RESEARCH GAP

 Most of the researches were based on square and circular ice filled steel tubular stub
column.
 Hence, the behaviour of IFST stub columns is investigated by varying shapes, loading
condition, using different outer tube materials, corrugation etc.
