You can either use the Composites Layup capability in Abaqus if FRP sheets can be approximated as homogeneous layers and you know the lamina constants. If you don't know the lamina constants, you can use a micromechanics code such as SwiftComp (https://cdmhub.org/resources/scstandard) to obtain these constants or equivalent plate constants if the abaqus analysis uses plate elements.

It is based on the information that you have about the FRP lamina. Do you have the mechanical properties as one layer?

@ Munaf , yes, I have the mechanical properties as one layer.

the material properties based on the suppliers and FRP type

I am trying to model RC deep beam using Abaqus/explicit. Can any one suggest me how to do this... should I go for the displacement control in stead of load boundary. How to get the material properties to be used..Is there some totorials or any instructions..Thank you

Can we model the GRP of 2mm. thickness as a whole?

HOW TO GET MATERIAL PROPERTIES OF GFRP FOR ABAQUS MODELLING...THANK YOU
