3D finite element model for hybrid FRP-confined concrete in compression using modified CDPM

The main goal of the work herein presented is to propose an accurate three-dimensional finite element model to predict the compressive behaviour of hybrid FRP-confined concrete. This was achieved through the modification of the concrete damaged plasticity model (CDPM) available in ABAQUS software, since the original CDPM has shortcomings that make it unusable to predict the compressive behaviour of confined concrete. It was demonstrated that, by...
