To make a fiber rod with certain strength in tension. Do I just need to calculate the area needed and stack the layers up the desired heigh according to manufacturer data?

The following is the data sheet of an uni carbon fiber product

My second question is, how come the 12k fabric is not 4 times the 3k fabric in thickness and in weight?

If I stack each one of them up to the same cross section area, will I get the same strength?


Thnx in advance
