Abstract The main objective of this study is to predict the stiffness of GFRP pipes subjected to compressive transverse loading. An experimental study is performed to measure the stiffness of a composite pipe with a core layer of sand/resin composites. Then, a simple analytical modeling constructed on the basis of solid mechanics is used to estimate the stiffness of the investigated pipe as the back-of-envelope technique widely used by industrial sectors. The simulation of stiffness test is conducted using finite element modeling wherein both large deformation and inelastic behavior of material is taken into account as the sources of nonlinearity. The results reveal that a very good estimation with high level of accuracy can be reached by proper selection of the element and performing nonlinear analysis.
