This study was aimed at evaluation of residual stress of steel pipe structures. The production process of pipes was complex (at first bending was done by roll forming or press forming and welding was final process of making of steel pipes). So there could be effected high residual stresses in steel pipes. In order to evaluate the changes of residual stress the locations of measurement were selected carefully. Measurements of residual stress were done for various kinds of pipes (shapes in circular and square). For the evaluation of residual stress, hole-drilling method (ASTM E837 was applied. The results showed that along the weld Eine high tensile stress were measured as effected, and high tensile stresses were measured where large plastic deformation developed. Through these efforts, experimental results could be more effectively assisted by numerical method.
