Topic: frp sheet modelling

Hello,
We are trying to model a concrete column wrapped with 2 layers of 0.13mm thick CFRP sheet(ATENA 3D).We used a shell element with epoxy properties.We are trying to simulate the fiber s as reinforcement layers.What bar diameter,number of bars and distance from surface should we use?

Re: frp sheet modelling

Hello, if you do not have any more precise information about the fibre position in the sheet, place the reinforcement layer in the middle of the shell thickness. If you know the fibre cross section area per 1m width of the sheet, enter directly that area. If you know the number and diameter of the fibres (again, per 1m of sheet width), use the calculator dialog.
