I v a problem to simulate more than one layer of FRP

I use element solidshell 190 to define FRP.

First I simulate the total thickness of FRP layers with one equivalent volume with the total thickness of the layers but when I increase number of FRP layers I find that both confined stress and lateral stress decrease.

Then I simulate each layer alone and define a bond contact between FRP layers and I find the same results.
