Q. Which option is better for modelling the behavior of CFRP-confined concrete in ABAQUS?

a. Simulate the behavior of unconfined concrete and CFRP laminates separately.

b. Simulate the behavior of concrete as confined concrete (using fcc and εcc) and do not apply the CFRP sheets.

c. Simulate the behavior of concrete as confined concrete (using fcc and εcc) and at the same time, apply CFRP laminates around the confined concrete.
